My husband and I have recently deposited on land (Chirnside Park) and have paid the first $1,000.00 on the Carlisle Randwick 26. We looked through a heap of floor plans online to assist us in choosing which block to buy (size, width etc) and it became obvious that we knew exactly what we wanted when only 6 floorplans appealed to us (and we looked at every builder!). We then narrowed it down to 4 floorplans and then we went and looked at the 4 display houses. The Randwick 26 isn't on display but the 29 is and they are basically the same, the 26 will be just a tad smaller overall. We looked at the Randwick first and I am glad we did as we then compared everything after that to it and for us the floorplan 'won'.
We have another appointment this Saturday with the SC at the display home as we have already told her some extras/changes we want so she sent off to get these priced. Will be interesting to see the price, though of course that will change as we do colour selection etc.
My husband had a call from Spectra already but we have put that off for a few weeks. We have an idea about what we want in terms of colour scheme so hopefully it won't be too confusing.
The whole building thing is a bit unnerving but our block won't Title until May 2014 so we have time to muddle through without rushing (hopefully). I went and had a walk through at Spectra before we paid the $1,000.00 just to see what options there would be. We are going to try to stick to Category 1 where possible (fingers crossed) but I do tend to always like the more expensive options!!

Looking forward to 'working' with you all and following your builds.
