Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Experiences with Blueprint Homes 95Nov 20, 2014 9:34 am Charlie Hustle One big question mark was the credit given to us for the hot water system ($132). I have never come across a hot water system and labour that totals that amount... I am hoping they left the zero off the end (have emailed them today to look over a couple of things and make some amendments). They have not gotten back to us yet (emailed them last night) so will be calling them shortly to give them the hurry up. I'm building with another builder and was told that the credit you get back will not be the full retail price of the product. This is due to the bulk discounts that the builder gets when purchasing their "standard" range of items. My guess is that builders get some items in bulk at dirt cheap wholesale prices, so if you get a credit back that is much less than the anticipated when comparing with regular retail pricing, that is probably the reason... That being said, $132 seems very low! Hope you get it clarified by the builder.

Some of the upgrades don't seems that bad but seems like the kitchen cupboard going to be a killer. Before signing up, I've already asked the sales consultant to quote me on overhead cupboards, stone bench tops & glass splashbacks. All that are covered in my original house quote. But there are still some cosmetic things that need upgrading. I guess I just have to wait for the pre-start day to find out Re: Experiences with Blueprint Homes 98Nov 25, 2014 12:16 pm Granite paving cost us around $250 from memory, the dellavita stone benchtop cost us around $3000 (of course comes down to size of benchtop). I have the paperwork in my car so will grab it out later and PM you the details of some of the other upgrades you are looking for.
