Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Who to Build With? 4May 20, 2020 8:01 pm We are building with Eight homes, 42squ. just cut the site, we spent $74K over the list price however around 30k of that was site costs, including 14k site, 6k location surcharge, 3.5K council, permit, oh&s, 5k bushfire rating, sarking, etc. We also changed our 5 bedroom house (2 master suites) into a 7 bedroom + study and added an alfresco, we upgraded floor 2k, got the upgrades pack 11k, added about 50 powerpoints and lights, fully upgraded kitchen, ensuite, added 3 slide doors and 4windows and evap at 4k. Got everything we wanted for extra 40k as we should get 3-4k provisional back So far been impressed, my wife’s cousin built a single with them and it was built extremely well however there were people will issues, Facebook have a Eight Homes Builders Group who highlight good and bad, you have to apply to join as Eight Home staff apparently nose around there.
