Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 25, 2018 2:53 pm Hi! I am new to this forum. Currently at Colour Selection stage with Wisdom Homes. However, being very fickle and I know its impractical and not a good idea to change at this very late stage but I am thinking of changing our facade. We are building Columbus 22, classic facade and would want to change to Nova Terrace as I really lime the idea of having tall piers (yes I didnt realize that before when signing contract). Is there a way that I can achieve this? I understand that no structural variation can be accepted post contract signing. As per our customer service, we will have to request for a new tender (back to zero), problem is we will have to work on the current price of the house as there was already price increase. Just wondering if we can still have the same price of house and undergo tender process again since I am not changing the house but just the facade. Our property is unregistered, tentative registration around october this year and tender is valid until april 2019. Appeciate inputs/suggestions. Thanks!

Kat Hi Kat, assuming you have already signed your contract, I'm pretty sure you can request a Variation to make changes - you will just need to pay an admin fee and/or a re draw fee which is about $1500. I don't believe you need go back to Tender stage. If you have signed Contract, you are locked into that price, the base price as per that Contract. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 3Apr 25, 2018 5:04 pm Hello, Thank you for your reply. Yes I have already signed the contract, but I hope I can make that variation since I am not actually changing the house. As per the consultant, if I change the facade I should be redoing the tender and of course with that new prices shall apply. What I dont understand, I am ok with havign to do the tender again, but the price of house shouldnt changed as I have already paid for that to get a fixed price until tender expiration. I told them I thought I will just have to pay for the $1,500 admin fee, but according to them that applies only to non strucural variation. I dont know now. I dont know if if I am making sense but hopefully I can speak to a sales manager this week so I can discuss this further. Thanks thanks for the info. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 4Apr 25, 2018 7:09 pm Also watch your progress as they're dumping everything on beightbour lot and on street and you will end up fighting with neighbour. It's now happening for us. They dumped on the starting stage, complained and all cleaned. However the version 2 is happening on landscape stage. As big building don't have a set policy to control the supplier they outsource and and get the business done. Wisdom home seems don't care about anything as long as they get paid and profit accounted.
