We are building our new home with Quantum home too. We have done pricing and is waiting for contract. Hi Thi! Congratulations on your Build! My Husband and I find it incredibly addictive! Since this last post A LOT has happened! We love our home and its complete! About 6 months ago we started building a fourth house with Quantum (as an investment), we were going to build it, do the gardens and make it cute, then sell it straight away. but when we figured out how much Capital Gains we would be paying my husband convinced me to sell our 'Almost forever home'. Its currently on the market! you can see the finished product here: https://www.realestate.com.au/property- ... -132797410 We are so proud of the finished product. There were days worth of tears whilst my husband was trying to convince me that selling was the way we should go. I know its better for our long term goal (financial freedom) however it doesn't make leaving here any easier! Having dealt with the guy's from Quantum on multiple builds, I obviously only have good things to say about them! I'm more than happy for you to ask me any questions you have and I will give you my honest opinion!

We had bad experience with previous builder so we engaged Quantum Home and custom our house. We have final pricing. We basically accepted the pricing to proceed with contract right away after few mins looking at the total amounts. The house is 49.6 square double storey and priced for 554k. We didnt even look at each costing item, the total number seem ok. We were delayed by previous builder and really want to move ahead quickly. So we just confirmed to accept the pricing and move ahead straight away. My sale consultant has been fantastic, so everything so far so good. I am just not sure whether we are expected to pay a lot more at color. Could you please also share of the brick and roof tile options which they offer as standard. I like your brick color, did you opt for white mortar? How much extra do they charge for white mortar? Thank you Cheers NatTabs Thi How was your experience with the new house?

I'm more than happy for you to ask me any questions you have and I will give you my honest opinion! Your house looks beautiful, such a pity you’re selling it however I’m sure your new house will be even better as you take the lessons learnt in building the last, on to your next one. I was interested to see you had a combustion heater fitted in your house, did you ever get around to using it? We’re looking at installing one but as with most things these days, there are so many options on the market and most all seem to have positive and negative reviews. It’s very confusing, and I wondered what your own experience had been and if you were happy with the cost and performance of the heater you installed? Re: Our Almost Forever Home! - 45sq Quantum Home in the Hill 31Apr 06, 2020 9:46 am Hi Bebbsy! Our new place is tiny compared to this one. A 19sq weatherboard cottage (13sq living). Like i mentioned, it was suppose to be an investment! Its very cute, and we have tried a few different things this time! Gives us a chance to see what sort of style we really love for our next one! We love our wood heater! I grew up with one and think that you cant beat the heat that these things put out! I’m going to miss sitting in front of it in Winter! Our home has ducted gas heating and the wood fire. We use the Ducted heating as the standard during the year, and the wood fire gets put on in winter when I know we will be at home for a few days and it’s freezing! Our location is generally 5 degrees colder than Melbourne so Winters days rarely get above 10-15 degrees! There are pros and cons to it. Just depends on what you want. Our Builders use the Ultimate Wood fire brand - ultimatefires.com.au - Ours is the Supreme 25 which was their largest heating capacity with the straight glass door. Installed as part of our build it was an additional $3820, including the power point for the fan. I love the dry warmth , the crackling Sound and the Smokey smell!! With decent wood (I try and use red gum) it will have the main living room warmer than the ducted system would have. Sourcing wood can be expensive. If you pay to have it delivered then you have to stack it somewhere dry, wet wood doesn't burn well, plus its messy! Wood chips both outside and inside, plus the bugs that love living in the wood! I always try and give out pile a good spray of bug spray to kill anything living! Once or twice a season (depending on how often you use it) you have to clean out the ash that has built up in the bottom of the fire - again messy! Our ash gets sprinkled into the vegetable garden. Next build we think we will try a Gas fire. I don’t like them as much, but for something we may only live in for a few years, I’ll put up with it! We plan on eventually living on acreage, I’ll definitely have at least one wood fire in that home!! 👌🏼 Built With: Carlisle Homes - 2013 Our first home Quantum Homes - 2016 Quantum Homes - 2018 Our Almost Forever Home!

I have heard of Ultimate, so will look into that further. Your furkid looks very comfy, I’m sure ours would love it too.
