Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Coral Homes / Milan 24 / South Brisbane - First build 21Feb 22, 2019 9:44 am We did cornerlesss stackers. Cost us $4600. My brother in laws a builder and just laughed at how much mark up there was. Now that they are in I have forgotten about the cost (I even had to look up our contract to double check the price) and it’s worth it. It’s so hard making these decisions at the beginning but once it’s all started you forget what you paid extra for them. Re: Coral Homes / Milan 24 / South Brisbane - First build 22Apr 04, 2019 4:57 pm Hi Mate, Any updates on your build? What you did with cutting the media room in half for a bigger pantry is exactly what im wanting to do. Very interested to see how much that variation cost and further progress on your build.

It's been a long time since I made any updates. I'll upload pics in next post. For now, we are on week 15 coming up. The kitchen cabinet delayed. Precisely, 6 weeks late. As result, it has caused a domino effect resulting in all other trades delayed. The cabinet finally went in just before Easter, but got a call to inform me of more dramas. The cabinet doors were delayed and is now scheduled 30th April to be installed. Frustrating. All other internal fixtures will be completed in May. As for the pantry size, see some pics below of progress. Have been real busy in so couldn't keep up with posts. Apologies.

They are wood look tiles and are rectified porceilain tiles. 1200mm x 200mm. Same tile at national and b.mont cost $90 per sqm. We will be purchasing the ASKO dishwasher to complement our shaker cabinets We also picked 2x of the single dome chandeliers (corbelle range) from beacon with silver bezel Instead of black. $290 each = $580 for two to go above island bench Re: Coral Homes / Milan 24 / South Brisbane - First build 31Apr 25, 2019 10:27 pm We also did our own insulation to every single internal wall over a weekend. I asked site supervisor and he gave me a weekend yo do the job. Went to Bunnings. Purchased R2.7 acoustic battons. Sound proof. Costs $800 which includes truck hire, fuel to gold coast pick up (stock only available at gc Bunnings), 1x maccas meal for me, and 90sqm of battons + 2 full days. The insulation contractor quoted me $1400 for cash job. Saved $600. We paid coral for external wall R1.5 battons. They are bloody terrible and feels like kitchen sponge. So cheap compared to the acoustic. Bats I installed myself. Check previous pics for insulation. Re: Coral Homes / Milan 24 / South Brisbane - First build 32Apr 26, 2019 7:19 am The range hood is Sirius. It's an Italian brand. I have opted for a SEM5 motor which means the motor will be external on roof. The sound will.be minimal when turned on as the motor is outside up on the roof. It has a max 1200 cubic metres air suction. Most common brands go up to 800 cubic metres. Coral will not install this for me as they claim you need a special tech from that company. Anyway I got quoted $500 to install after handover from an external contractor. The fan costs $1800 Ducting comes as semi rigid. It comes with LED lights. Total = $2300. It's a 90cm canopy rangehood type. Purchased from.harvey Norman. Re: Coral Homes / Milan 24 / South Brisbane - First build 33May 15, 2019 9:29 pm katsudon98 The range hood is Sirius.

Re: Coral Homes / Milan 24 / South Brisbane - First build 34May 15, 2019 9:47 pm House is locked. We are up to internal fit offs. Not long to go but our kitchen cabinets are all wrong and we are waiting for the correct one to be sent from melbourne. Re: Coral Homes / Milan 24 / South Brisbane - First build 35May 21, 2019 9:51 am Thank you so much, just read your incridible post and its very useful. Wondering if you can share how much was the deviation with respect to cost and what was not included in the quote you recieved from the coral sales guy initially. I met the sales guy at the display house and he has given me a quote for double storied house base price 228 + 60 for all the frills including drive way (exposed aggregate finish). I wanted to check if its safe enough to have an additional allowance of 10K, which is going to be 298k = ~300K? Or are there any more hidden and must have expenses which will be from pocket??

If you want a no frills basic home, then yes $60k would. Be good. I can only Speak for a single story homes. My sales guy was spot with only $1k to $2k positive or negative. I budgeted $100k from base price ($175k). We are at $280k and we haven't included driveway, landscaping, fencing, mail box, blinds and etc. In saying that, we spent majority of the money on the kitchen as we believe thats the central focus whne the time comes to sell or increase value. We spent approximately $25k to $30k just on kitchen upgrade. We could. Have easily spend more but We had to stop somewhere. Driveways are notoriously expensive with builders. Best to source it externally Re: Coral Homes / Milan 24 / South Brisbane - First build 39Sep 27, 2019 5:05 pm From memory, it was around $4,500. Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 13781 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish.
