Re: Sovereign Metricon 16Jul 20, 2016 8:11 pm Thank you Skami.That's what I was looking for someone to tell me that it looks wide and open. Does the kitchen and family looks open enough as kitchen is positioned a bit forward due to the laundry? Do you have a thread for your build as I would love to follow it. I'm very impressed with your upgrades.It's going to be a beautiful home?? I picked up a few ideas.? Thank you . Will love to see your progress plus I'm new to the forum as well. It's a bit hard to find links on my phone ? Re: Sovereign Metricon 17Jul 20, 2016 9:55 pm Ados Thank you Skami.That's what I was looking for someone to tell me that it looks wide and open. Does the kitchen and family looks open enough as kitchen is positioned a bit forward due to the laundry? i be biased but it feel open and laundry is nicely tucked behind the kitchen. i liked the way they increased the size of the windows in the display houses and thats what i have done in my build as well Ados Do you have a thread for your build as I would love to follow it. No i have not made any threads yet, my file has just sent to construction. Ados I'm very impressed with your upgrades.It's going to be a beautiful home?? I picked up a few ideas.? Thank you . Will love to see your progress plus I'm new to the forum as well. It's a bit hard to find links on my phone ? have a look at this thread viewtopic.php?f=31&t=5823 this helps alot i also made sure that all windows and doors have same head heights Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Sovereign Metricon 19Jun 01, 2017 8:01 pm Ados So my plan if i go with Hampshire is: $392k ( Base price with provincial facade which we love.Any feedback about the facade will be lovely) $45k - footings $28k - Aircon ( will talk to them about getting it ourselves) $17k - raised ceilings to 3m downstairs. $10k - Extended outdoor room ( 5.5 x 7m ) $14k - Glass balustrade staircase ( has anyone got any quote from outside) That will bring the total to $507k That's a big Savings from Sovereign. Is it worth it or big compromise on size That means if I spend around 80k on floorings/electrical/ benchtops etc ( hoping less but going by the comments on the forum, please feel free to share your expenses on selections ) So if I keep $50k for pool and $70k for fence/driveway/ landscaping will that be enough.I'm trying to be generous but would love to keep the budget lower. Your thoughts??? Depends on your pool size. we just got our 2.5m wide 15m long lap pool quote and it turned out to be 58k. Average driveway should cost somewhere around 5k-7k. Fencing can vary hugely depending on style. Landscape on the other hand can be next to nothing if you decided to take it on yourself as some weekend fun project. personally i wouldn`t take the 3m ceiling height as only 25mm increase from 2.7m gonna set you back for 17k where as 2.75m is only 2k in my case. Glass balustrade staircase is something we really wanted as it would look amazing. But it will only cost you less than 5k if you take carpet on staircase. Having lived in 2 houses with solid timber staircase, I`d say they are the worst thing to have in a house... Not only it can get very loud if you don`t walk gently but also gets super slippery when it get wet. Re: Sovereign Metricon 20Sep 02, 2017 9:46 am We looked at Soverign too initially but then noticed the Glendale 50 was a very similar layout at almost $90k lower in price so we could start with the layout and then upgrade to what we require.
