Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Coral Homes - Modified Grange 29 61Sep 08, 2017 12:29 pm Dylandbrooke @bestspecials .... š can i please have your budget? Have sent you a message Re: Coral Homes - Modified Grange 29 62Sep 08, 2017 4:53 pm My site was H1 and slab and piering (foundations) added an extra $9000. If you need cut and/or fill that will add more cost. I had a very flat block with a slight fall from back to street front which is almost perfect yet coral charged me $5000 originally for cut and fill work. I challenged them on it ("asked them to show me what they were doing for $5k") and they reduced it to $3800. I think your $20k allowance is reasoable if you end up with an E class! š¤Hoping it's not!

Hopefully it's all good. Don't want any scary surprises. Re: Coral Homes - Modified Grange 29 64Sep 09, 2017 6:17 pm Are you planning to use the upgrades Coral offers? Designer and Elegance. Which one do you guys think is the best offer? Re: Coral Homes - Modified Grange 29 65Sep 10, 2017 1:31 am carrot_stix Are you planning to use the upgrades Coral offers? Designer and Elegance. Which one do you guys think is the best offer? We went with designer and got the majority of the upgrades on offer (the only upgrades we didnt get were the bathroom and laundry upgrades)- we went with designer because our SC told us it was much better value for what we were after. I think bestspecials are going with elegance for their build and i think that suited them as they were able to upgrade to include aircon and extra concreting Re: Coral Homes - Modified Grange 29 66Sep 10, 2017 12:09 pm Dylandbrooke carrot_stix Are you planning to use the upgrades Coral offers?
