Josh, have you been to the gallery to select all the extra items to add into your contract. Or are you adding them separately? Hi Zebinc, No we have not been yet. I believe these are picked when the contract is going through council approval. We are waiting on the contract to make sure it has all the inclusions we have asked for so we can get finance for it. Re: Coral Homes Noosa 23 - South Ripley 23Mar 29, 2019 1:30 pm Hi, Just thought I'd check in to see how everything is going for everyone? Is it all smooth sailing for you? It turns out it is exactly 2 months from the last post. How are things progressing with everyone? We have had our tiling, electrical and colour appointments finalised last week and should have ETA today with council approval.

Hey Josh, We have a start date for the 1st of April, I'm so glad all this waiting is finally over soon! Hopefully council isn't too far away for you. We waited 6 weeks for our approval!

Hi Amy, Wow that came around quick only a couple more days!! Yes we are awaiting our tile, electrical and colour costs to come in. We were very strict with our upgrades as we will be fronting the cost. One of the biggest dramas was the fact we did not have flooring included as part of our tender letter. It was a stressful time trying to get everything sorted and have everything lined up for the bank. We wanted a timber look and opted with the parador oak castel limed board. Looks very pretty and had to get that priced up to forward onto our broker. That added a bit of cost onto our build and there has been a lot of back and forth but my concerns and queries and slowly dwindling and they have been pretty helpful. Our pre site consultant said it should be due back today and has estimated our start date for sometime mid next month.

We were lucky enough to get our flooring for free which was laminate and it only cost $180 to upgrade to vinyl. We are the same with our upgrades, in total originally we only spent an extra $1900 at our colour appointment and most of that was for the security screens. I can't wait for you to start as well, I don't see many other Noosa 23s. Re: Coral Homes Noosa 23 - South Ripley 29Apr 11, 2019 8:41 am Looks awesome! Must be exciting. We are waiting upon a few admin errors to be corrected in our variations and we should be getting our start date next week I would imagine so not far away for us either!

Hopefully your start date isn't too far away, we had to wait 4 weeks when we got ours but I've seen some people only wait 2 weeks.

Actually i was trying to understand how to work it out and was looking for some help with answers. Do we have to include this in contract or is it done by site supervisor. How much is he charging ? Re: Coral Homes Noosa 23 - South Ripley 37Apr 16, 2019 8:23 pm Srijit we asked our SS to do it during the build and he charged us like $200 to put noggins for 5places. If you read through my post you will get the recent prices. Ultimately it comes down to each SS. Some do it for free and some charge so high. We actually wanted full length thinking we can decide on placement later but he refused to put full length for that price.

Thanks for the info MrsAJ! my sales rep said it would be $80 per noggins and they would need the length of the same. May be we will wait give it a try via ss and not include it in contract right now.

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. So ask… 1 4354 Well these guys are not looking good... I sent them a written enquiry last week and they have not yet replied. If they cannot respond to a simple… 4 10636 |
