They said, we would prefer customers know about the standard inclusions, rather than see and like a house which has been upgraded in every way possible. Ooooh I haven't seen their North Lakes display home. Only their North Harbour display home. And it is certainly furnished. What I loved about walking through their home is that everything was standard. High ceilings, window coverings, freestanding bathtub, stone benchtops in bathroom and laundry... everything they showed was included. I think there were a couple of small changes but they openly discuss those as they walk you through the home... I think on the one I viewed, it was an upgraded front door, ducted aircon (though their houses come with split system aircon standard), some pendant lights and a whole bunch of upgrades to the ensuite bathroom. But everything else you saw... standard. It was awesome, and was what sealed the deal for me. None of these "sure we can build you a house for $180k... but ohhhhhh no do you seriously want a concrete base on your alfresco? No, you don't want floor coverings do you? Really? You like tiles and carpets and things? And honestly, you want a driveway and letterbox are you crazy? And shock horror you want us to turf the back yard as well as the front? Oh well if you're gonna be all picky about things, then that's just gonna cost an extra $85k thank you very much" LOL With Homes by CMA you get what you're looking at. All of it. And that, to me, rocked! Re: Building the Bella with Homes by CMA in North Harbour, S 19Aug 25, 2016 9:15 am Update : My plans and HIA contract were due on Tuesday. I didn't get them. It's now Thursday, and I may get them today. They're not leaving me very much time for reviews or alterations in case they made any errors... The whole lot needs to go to my Mortgage guy by the start of next week so that we can get the finance approved before the land contract's 21 day finance clause is up... *sigh* If only the land contract didn't have such a stupid stipulation! But oh well I'm trying not to worry, I'm sure it will all work out in the end. It's all just so new to me that it's a little bamboozling and I hate being rushed to do things. Another place I was thinking of building didn't have such a silly 21-day finance clause... they were happy to let me pay a deposit and then take my time to sort the house plans and things before going for finance. This land developer is not as relaxed and that frustrates me. But oh well the frustration is mine and I need to own it! Re: Building the Bella with Homes by CMA in North Harbour, S 20Aug 25, 2016 11:28 am That would frustrate me too! Our contract was delayed by a week and a half getting stuff finalised (with still more variation tweaking at no cost to follow) May I ask why you chose not to use GJ Gardiner? I'm actually meeting with one of the sales guys tomorrow for an appointment. Definitely not signing anything yet… 3 9558 Hi i am looking to buy an investment near by North Rothbury.
