I waited for days to get the results of our initial appointments before I post here. So, for the kitchen with Knebel, our PA was $5K, we are good so far as long as my wife doesn't pick up the waterfall ends features Then DiLorenzo, were still waiting for the final variations, my estimate is $8000 (porcelains and carpets) which is $3000 over to our PA I really hate when these suppliers show first the luxury\upgrade before the standard. Yup, I am with you with the air-con, we never provision for air-con, we thought we can live with 2 zones. The technology of 4 zones or ESP set up is very attractive plus the 5 years ROI. Now I have to find ways to find $5K So, after kitchen, air-con and tiling we are now waiting for contract and signing before we can go to coloring, electrical and landscape. Are you guys did the same process? Or you guys completed all the appointments first (kitchen, air-con, tiling, electrical, landscape and coloring) before signing?

Which seemed strange to be...why are we signing something when we know the contract price will change?! But anyway we are done now. We have just gone to CDC (last tuesday) and are now awaiting approval from them. Hopefully we should have that sometime this week. Personally upgrading the air con was a no brainer for us. We dont have kids yet, so our 3 bedrooms won't need the air con on unless we have visitors staying with us, so it would have been a waste to have them on with no-one in them. And it saves power overtime. Like most things, short term pain, for long term gain. We went up to our block over the weekend and our fence has been put up. We paid to have it put up early to protect the block from our neighbours tradies!! We are in a new estate and they are being very particular about us protecting our block as there has been some soil dumped and damage done to blocks next ones where work has commenced. Exciting to see a fence - makes me think we are further along than we are! Then I remember we still have wrap up, daft end panel, end panel and extra funds to find!!!!

Building Wisdom Homes Serenity 31 Re: Building with Wisdom Homes - Kitchen and Tile Appointmen 9Jul 23, 2016 5:50 pm We paid $5200 to upgrade main floor tiles to 600x600. Would have been about $8000 for larger size again including timber look tiles. Once you go above 600x600 you need to screed the floor and will need to pay for higher kitchen benches which are about $300. Then there was the $1000 underlay upgrade and about $600 of additional like drain upgrades. We ended up with $16k upgrades in kitchen. Mostly due to upgrading to deluxe benchtop, 2 waterfalls, laminate wall panels, plus we added cupboards and benchtop to pantry. (Then the $600 pull out bin, soft close cupboards, extra pot drawers....the list goes on lol) We went with standard ac as we have found in the past that with open plan you generally need to have it on across the whole floor anyway. Plus we are filling up all the bedrooms with our lot. Now we need to keep electrical upgrades to under $4000 so we can pay for it all lol majestic35.weebly.com Re: Building with Wisdom Homes - Kitchen and Tile Appointmen 11Aug 06, 2016 9:46 am firebolt Wow ! so much good information here.

What do you mean basic coz the builder told us this would be enough. Also how much did you spend for upgrading? and what are the benefits to upgrade?

We are looking at Clarendon, Rawson homes Re: Building with Wisdom Homes - Kitchen and Tile Appointmen 17Feb 20, 2017 10:11 pm Hi mate, Yes, we are in the progress of building, as you can see in our web site we are awaiting for Landscaping stage. Because the initial quotes was 35% over for what we are expecting, so we did request to revise. For the land, we are waiting to register this coming April and May, then start the building and pain in the pockets . What's your facade and which location you are building? If you have any questions we can share with what we had experience.
