Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 10, 2020 10:44 pm Hi MJH customers, Good day! We are planning to build with MJH and I'm worried that they are not being transparent with us in terms of upgrade cost when you reach MyChoice. We wanted to compare their proposal with other builders that offers high-end inclusion packages such as Kurmond Diamond package and Icon Homes Onyx inclusions. Please share your experiences with upgrade cost from MJH such as floor to ceiling tiles in main bath and ensuite. Just to share, they provide us an estimate to upgrade semi-frameless shower screen to frameless around $2000.00 per shower screen. Is that over priced? Looking forward to your comments. Thanks in advance.
