Seaford ?? Anyhow, we built our (existing) home with AV Jennings 24 years ago, and about 10 years ago we built a home with Hickinbotham for the In-Laws. I still have all the paper-work for both those builds, and there are literally pages of variations from the standard build. To use you example of the "missing" dishwasher provision, that doesn't worry me if it's in the Aqua specifications or not. Either way, to "supply" the provision it's going to cost the builder (say) $100 for joinery work, $100 for the tap, $100 for the power and $10 for the drain provisions, say $310. Say they have a 10% mark-up, it's going to cost the customer $341. I don't have an issue with paying (say) $341 for the dishwasher provision, either in the contract or in the Aqua specifications, I just want to know one thing..."How much is the house going to cost me WITH the dishwasher provision ?" That's what they seem to be having the issue with !!!! It seems THEIR way is to say "The house costs $200,000 and after you sign we'll tell you how much the dishwasher provision costs." We wouldn't be having this struggle with them if right up front they said "The house with the dishwasher provision will cost you $200,341." !!! Make YOUR list of what YOU want and don't sign the contract until every single thing in YOUR list is in the contract ! P_D .

Rendition have 2 new houses just opened in Seaford. They are basic and the Family home versions, they say for the first home buyers. So, it gives you a good idea of what the basic package is, before all upgrades. http://renditionfamilyhomes.com.au/display-homes/seaford-meadows Cheers Re: Building with Rendition 28Jul 25, 2013 1:27 pm NewToHomeBuilder ....Rendition have 2 new houses just opened in Seaford.
