I will make them deduct from the cost, provide the tapwares i like and have them install. if i already shopping for doorknobs and tapwares, I might just buy them at the shop right away. (I am planning to import few mixers from oversea.) I think just whatever is convenient and budget wise for individual. One needs to take priority for upgrade. Surely, asking the builder to do the run is the easiest option. Good luck perthasaussie. We all have to start somewhere.

The stuff you actually want to upgrade with works out cheaper as they deduct the cost of what's standard/originally included, and they install it for you Re: Nervous already - "first-time" build with Dreamstart. 14Jul 09, 2014 11:47 am Hey PerthAussie, you'll find the entire build process, no matter who you go with is going to be a whirlwind of emotion, what you should be aware of however, is pretty much no matter who you build with, at the end of it you're going to enjoy that you have just moved into your own new home and it's now all yours (well, and the banks ) Also, as people have said, this is your first home, and you are keeping within your budget, that's probably the most important thing to keep in mind. As you said "smaller block until you can afford something else", get onto the property ladder, your house will depreciate but your land should appreciate and look at this as an investment toward your future home, its just the first step on the property ladder and a very important one. Re: Nervous already - "first-time" build with Dreamstart. 15Aug 26, 2014 1:30 am Hi PerthAussie2014 - how is your build coming along? Our first place was tiny - as in seriously tiny, 2 very very small bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 'living' room and a kitchenette. But I remember how exciting it was to have something that was our own. When you move in you pretty quickly get used to the space - we loved living there Rooms are to sleep in - they don't need to be big! We made a bit of profit when we sold it too. We have the opposite to you - we are only allowed colorbond in our estate's design guidelines - I'd (almost) kill for beautiful roof tiles! Our prestart allowance is also very small - but I'm going to try to prioritise - if something is easy to change later I'll stick with the standard, and things that aren't we'll have to try and get into our prestart budget. It became apparent very quickly that prestart can be an expensive exercise if you're not careful. I'm looking forward to following your build and I hope you're feeling a bit more positive about yours now! I bet it'll be an amazing home for your family So it looks like we finally have some movement on site! Definitely later than expected, but I'll take any progress at this point. I'll drop by over the weekend to get… 5 28606 Can anyone give me any onfo on New Homes WA? Good or bad, hopefully good just need to know if my choice was good or not? Thanks ❤️ 0 9010 9 24898 |
