Re: Finishing Touches - Perth ballpark costs? 7May 01, 2013 2:43 pm The only thing I can help with is the wardrobe fitout as most of the rest of that stuff is being done through the build (would have saved $$ if we could have done it ourselves). Our two small walk ins in our bedroom are costing us just over $1000, because they are small I wanted the double hanging. While I have seen the stuff at Ikea and other places it is standard sizes which means it may not make the most of the space which we needed to do, also once you buy it and out it in I can't imagine it would have been that much more cost effective. The thing that adds $$ quickly in a wardrobe fitout is draws and doors, we have none but adding a couple of draws was going to increase the price by 50%. We went to the showroom and were impressed by the quality, the hanging rails are really strong so more more buckling under too many clothes being hung on them like standard rails. Good luck Re: Finishing Touches - Perth ballpark costs? 9May 04, 2013 10:43 am Hi Wellard I can give you a rough guide based on what we've spent. We have a house around the same size I think, fairly standard bedroom and window sizes). Here's a breakdown: Painting inc undercoat and 2 coats colour - 3.5k 67sqm of exposed agg - 7k (Benchmark Concrete) 25sqm of passport (composite) decking - 6.9k (Perth Decking) Plantation shutters to all rooms (except three stacker door and laundry) - 11.5k (Boardwalk Shutters) Sheer curtain to stacker door and roller blind to laundry - 1.4k (Blinds Gallery) Wardrobe fitout (u shaped ensuite, 2xstandard double wide) - 3k (Lifestyle wardrobes) Wool carpets to stairs, theatre, study, two beds and master - 5k (Carpet Call) Don't have tiling so can't help with that, but our timber floors where 12k (Carpet Call) Landscaping we are doing ourselves but I did get a quote of 5k from a place for just our front (we have a cottage block) and that didn't include much at all for a 10mx3m space, I think it was 10 Dianella cassa blues, a frangipani, 10 other small bushy plants and some pebbles. I think you can save a lot of money here doing the garden yourself. Everything costs more than you think it will, and I would say plan for about 50k to finish a house to a typical standard inc. all the above plus aircon, alarm, gates, reticulation, lighting and electrical additions e.g. pendants/speakers/fans.

Thanks Leighlou, That's very useful - thanks for mentioning your suppliers too We are keen gardeners so all the planting we will do ourselves but we would like to get some hardscaping done professionally, planter boxes, some raised beds around the perimeter etc. I would also like a formal rose garden so will get some professional input on how to lay that out $50k sounds like a good figure Our Custom Dale Alcock build in the Village at Wellard https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78620 consider putting in wall WC instead of robe in the same bedroom, then it might be doable to hook up to the existing piping. 4 6661 Building Standards; Getting It Right!
