Re: Things you forget - summary page 32 757Apr 13, 2014 3:52 pm Did a quick search but haven't seen this mentioned yet; Check all shelves and what they are made of. Consider "upgrading" from painted Pyneboard (or whatever your builder provides) to Melamine in the pantry. Painted timber will wear, and if you store oil in the pantry, can stain. Display houses my builder builds replace their painted Pyneboard with melamine. I thought it was standard, wasn't until i requested and looked through the changes made to the display house that i realised. Worth only a few bucks extra, but saves in cleaning later (as we have found in our current house, 20yrs old, still with the original melamine and still going strong).

The reason being, after going through the forum, I have found most of the new home builders were surprised when they found they (including myself) have to fork our few $1000 dollars towards the section 94 contribution. I am only talking about NSW here and not sure about other states. I was only aware of the Council Works Bond and Tree Bond. Please keep this in mind while planning your budget and it varies from council to council and also depends on what you are building/renovating. Few councils let you apply for an exemption but mine doesn't. Re: Things you forget - summary page 32 760Apr 20, 2014 12:34 pm What an awesome list and topic! Really helpful for first home buyers like us that wouldn't think of half these things. Cheers Depends what you're current inclusions are, but we're not including wardrobes and will just use second hand ones until we can save later on to get them built.
