I love it. We are building the Miami 15 but have added 2mtre in length through the children's activity room, study nook is now a full room with cavity slider into children's room and Lin1 door on other side. Theatre has been extended and butlers pantry added in the same layout as the 16. We have done the grande alfresco and have the base extended (will be decked on top of cement slab) to include the master suite outside area but we are doing a pergola rather than solid roof line as we wanted the light... Other upgrades are lin1 doors, 40mm c-stone in crime brûlée, double plumbing and two shower heads in ensuite, extra large glass sliding doors to children's activity area and all the caoba and aesthetic upgrades which I did on Monday. We have four children, 17,13 (girls) and twin 5 boys so this house works really well for us both now, and in the future..

I have just started a blog at the following location to track my build http://mcdonaldmiami16.blogspot.com.au/p/blog-page.html Hi, Happy to share... Not sure how though! Lol. I finished my uni exams this week so I have a little more time on my hands to work out the forum... I work full time as a nurse and study full time as well. To say i have been busy is putting it mildly. Will work out a blog this weekend and put up the link. Our land is in council waiting for registration... I think we won't be starting until end of February if I am realistic. Christmas closures, have to build retaining walls and council approval has all got to happen yet. It's a slow process but I am in no rush (yet!). The longer it takes the more savings we have.

I have just started a blog at the following location to track my build http://mcdonaldmiami16.blogspot.com.au/p/blog-page.html Hi, we are in the process of picking a design with McDonald Jones Homes, highly interested in the Miami 16 also. I have checked out your blog, it's great and informative thank you. If you don't mind me asking how much have they quoted including the changes to the plan? Do you have an updated plan with your changes incorporated? Is there any other blogs that you know of with the Miami 15 or 16? Am keen to get as many ideas as I can for changes to this house.

We were so excited to have 30k in mychoice but looks like it will all go to flooring. We are waiting on land registration on the central coast and I fell in love with the Clarendon lakeside. Hardly had to upgrade anything. Choice of carpet tiles or laminated floors all included plus 20 dowlights 40mm cornerstone and so much more but miami 15 floor plan just suited better. Inlaws moving in. Lakeside was only going to be 356 including hamptons facade. We are at 358k with so many upgrades to do Hi AKG, We had a base tender of $592 for 31 squares from MC Donald Jones.
