We are at the very initial stages of getting our tender for Ambassador 36 and have a looonnngg way to go.... We also wanted to do the sliding doors to the theatre, but i guess $6500 is going to be too expensive. We might also just ask for a square set opening and get quotes from elsewhere to fit the same. But i guess there will be labour charges involved there as well. Where are you sourcing your fireplace from, thats another thing we would want to include as well.. I understand from this forum that the driveways are cheaper if we get it done externally ... your thoughts? We are planning on doing the savannah facade with the balcony but again the balcony is more of the bedroom than the lounge room.. Might have to redesign this as well as they do not have many options of the balcony over the garage. Any idea if there is going to be a price hike in April, as the $9900 promotion has been on for a while now. Cheers, Aggy Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 1598Mar 12, 2016 8:07 pm Hi All, The Ambassador 36 Display Home is open at Stockland Elara Marsden Park. They have made a few layout changes which are interesting - i like the door that closes off the butlers pantry/laundry area from the kitchen but prefer the original design of the master bedroom. Its definitely worth a look. Hi Aggy, You should definitely have a look at the display home as they have made that very change to the WIR - basically now it has its own little area before you get to the bathroom. In terms of the main upgrades we did the following: Increase upstairs ceiling height including increasing door heights Square set cornices Three panel floor to almost ceiling windows off the dining room (this will overlook our pool) Overhead cabinets to butlers pantry Upgraded all the doors to Hume panels (including slider to home theatre with bar handle - this worked out much cheaper than the actual display home upgrade) Shower to downstairs powder room Upgrading the second access to the alfresco to a triple stacker sliding door Avanti facade with rendering Sliding door to master suite Understair access door along with tiling inside Laundry cupboard fitout as per display home Upgraded main ensuite as per display home Gas and hot/cold water points to alfresco Upgraded butlers pantry caeserstone to 40mm Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 1600Mar 12, 2016 9:01 pm Aggy, we're getting our fireplace direct from Jetmaster which is the same company Wisdom uses. It's working out to be about $3K cheaper. We are also getting the driveway done after handover. The actual driveway within our property wasn't that much more expensive with Wisdom but we need to swap our layback and crossover to the opposite side (knock down rebuild) and that was much more expensive through Wisdom. So we're using our $5.5K landscape credit towards our retaining walls. You'll get a landscape quote for all the works including driveway and you can pick and choose from there. I believe price rises occur every 6 months but you're best to check that with Wisdom. The last one that I'm aware of was Sep last year, as we signed the day before the price rise. Can someone please offer some advice? Im DESPERATE. Because I'm completely and utterly exhausted. How long are variations taking with other companies at the moment?
