Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Rossmoyne WA - First Build With Ventura 14Mar 21, 2018 12:48 pm HootHouse I’ve been told if I take a custom design to a project builder, like Ventura, there will be extra costs. I would be shocked if any builder in Perth charged you "extra costs" for bringing your own plans to get a quote. As long as you have a copy of the site survey and an Engineers report, there really isn't much else they need to do in order to give you a quote for the whole project including site works. The market isn't exactly booming right now... they want all the business they can get! Also slugcatcher, love your plans!

As long as you have a copy of the site survey and an Engineers report, there really isn't much else they need to do in order to give you a quote for the whole project including site works. What I meant is... Bringing in your own custom design will cost more than selecting a floor plan and tweaking it. I'm wondering if there's much of a price difference between bringing in your own custom design or doing a custom design with them in house. Hopefully that makes a bit more sense? Re: Rossmoyne WA - First Build With Ventura 16Mar 21, 2018 5:01 pm Hi Hoothouse, If you already have a clear idea of what your floorplan looks like, you can just go to these project builders and then pretty much dictate to them what you want it to look like. Then they will draft it up properly and price it all up for you for no cost at all. If you custom design up a floorplan that is exactly the same as the display home, in theory there should be no price difference assuming the specifications are the same as the materials used will be identical. I suggest you visit the display homes and chat with one of the reps there. They will be able to explain it better than I can which is how it kicked off for us. We had always started drawing roughly on paper ourselves what kind of house we wanted and then worrying it costs too much comparing with display home prices by using indicators like $/m2 etc. In the end the sales rep managed to translate our ideas in our heads onto paper and priced it all up for no charge.
