To answer some of your questions.
1. Cost To upgrade tiles into higher category (Cat 2, Cat 3, or Cat 4) >> you can get this from your sales consultant. they usually have a pricing book with all the prices for all categories for all materials (bricks, roof, render, etc.). you can ask for a photocopy of the page you want and take it home. Our sales consultant at Point Cook (prestige) was very good and answered all our questions. 4. Is it worth the upgrade into a zones ducted heating system from the default one provided by PD ? ($1100) >> I agree with the post above, why heat the whole house when not all of the rooms or living areas will be occupied at the same time. 6. How much does it cost for the driveway ? (it'll be 5 mitres by 5.5 mitres) >> depends on the tradies I guess. Try using the search function for what some of the people in the forum paid to get their driveway done. You have to consider what type of surface (aggregate, pavers, etc.) which will greatly very in cost 7. PD wants us to pay $2500 for the 'Fixed Price Guarantee" . My land will be settled in late May and PD will start building in July. Is this $2500 worth it ? >> this is to lock in the prices so that you will not be affected by price increases. We took this option because we had our sales quote done last December. We took a look at the latest PD brochure and found that the base price for our home has increased by almost $3k. Our land titles in June so I believe this is good. Good luck with building your home!

I don't know what to say, you've all covered and answered all the questions. I have nothing to say but thank you very much Our standard double-glazed window is tested to achieve, Rw 34, and can be glazed to suit Rw 39. The price is good too... 3 11329 It seems very clear to me that your contract states that a security account does NOT need to be established so the answer to the builder is NO. If in doubt find a contract… 1 8647 The fastest thing a builder will do is bank your cheque, those systems work perfectly with lightning speed, everything else is slow burn.
