Hello Folks, Glad to see a large family of DOULTON houses
I am planing to build in the North, have been to SIGNATURE display house in Greenvale and Doulton display in Burwood. I have got few questions and i am positive to get replies as i can see many experts here of Doulton. This is gonna be our first building Project, i am a bit concern cause i do a lot of interstate & overseas travelling nature of my work. I am also on a Budget, by the looks of it this project is looking very straight forward however, i am sure this won't be the case, by the way we are planning for Doulton 46.
1. Base price is $435k, what you think what extra $$ if i upgrade like flooring, carpets, Kitchen,cooling etc.
- I would suggest to do tiling, carpets after handover, we r doing tiling and carpet and safe a lot of money.
You would need to do cooling during contraction as it’s will be more expensive after handover. Do standard lights upstairs and downlighting downstairs.
Would strongly upgrade the floor in the bathrooms do not use the yellow tounge
2. How long the whole process will take from start till completion?
Depends on the sale consultants for administration, admin is the longest process but you need to make sure everything is right before construction, once construction it will take between 7-10m.
3. How much i should keep extra $$ for front yard+Back yard+ Fencing etc?
We r on the construction so wouldn’t know until we got handover.
4. What kind of surprises i can face?
Just make sure you understand everything but best to get the independent inspection to check on the trades work as some trades are shocking
5. My block size is 600+SQM approx, do you think it is enough for this type of house?
Check with the sale consultant they will put the house dimensions on the block and let you know if it’s fit.
I am thinking of going for MODE facade to save money and spend on other things.
Your suggestions will be much appreciated
