Are these allowances usually under or over quoted. Just wanna know if when going to tender if it will end up cheaper then quoted or more.
what kind of allowances are they?
Browse Forums Building A New House Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 4076Aug 07, 2013 10:05 pm Bakso Wirepower Allowances such as eaves around all house, extended benchtop, square set cornice throughout. Extra for waffle slab in alfresco, then what concrete would they put otherwise? Hi Wirepower, From my tender experience I found that most of the allowance is actually come back lower but I think it really depends on what the allowance is for... Wirepower Just looked at my quote and it states. 2-7 concrete floor to alfresco (house specific). House specific? Surely atlantique is covered when your with affinity range (top range). Il be devastated if I gotta pay extra for concrete for alfresco as well. I think the different between this and Hariska's$2,231 upgrade is Harriska has chosen to extend the Raft Slab to the Alfresco Area (originally just the house area excluding porch and alfresco). The standard quote will be only poured concrete to the Alfresco & Porch area - no Slab. From my reading and research it looks like if you will put a deck / paving / tiles in the future it really doesn't matter whether you upgrade or not. February12 I just got a phone call saying my contract is ready and my appointment is not for another 2 weeks, Yay I have heaps of time to read over it Good news!!! I wonder where is mine Hi Bakso, No, I didn't ask for upgrade slab option to Alfresco. I was told at the tender that I don't get concrete at all to alfresco, only porch will get the concrete as part of the slab. then I requested them to include concrete to alfresco (didn't mention whether its raft slab as I had no clue what that was) then they came up with the quote and it is $2231 Harishka Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 4077Aug 07, 2013 10:07 pm viewtopic.php?t=61526 Here is the link to an Atlantique mk2 thread, might be able to ask the op their experience?

HD Thanks LittleWing. Here's another thread to get opinion about whether to slab alfresco or not with the builder. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=52202 Harishka Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 4079Aug 07, 2013 10:32 pm Harishka Harishka Wirepower Just looked at my quote and it states. 2-7 concrete floor to alfresco (house specific). House specific? Surely atlantique is covered when your with affinity range (top range). Il be devastated if I gotta pay extra for concrete for alfresco as well. Hi Wirepower, That's what I thought till I was told otherwise. I'm very upset and disappointed and I'm not going to pay $2200. I'm going to check externally how much will it cost to get this done. Some ppl in this forum mentioned that it's so much better to get the builder to pour the concrete without doing it later. but due to the money constraint I don't have an option it seems. Still thinking and haven't decided yet Sorry forgot to add one more thing. What I was told was only alfresco's facing backyard will get concrete by default. Unfortunately Atlantique has side alfresco and therefore they wont do it unless we pay for it. My understanding is when looking at the floor plans, if it has the picture of little square (indicating pillar) then concrete is incl. if no pillar, no concrete Building the Porter Davis Dunedin 29 maybe, thinking of forfeiting deposit and going with CH or UE Re: The CARLISLE HOMES & SPECTRA General Information Thread 4080Aug 08, 2013 9:52 am LittleWing For asset protection I only paid 100 I also thought it would be more.
