Browse Forums Building A New House Re: The Jeffery Pad - Coral Homes - QLD 11Jan 15, 2017 7:12 pm bribiebell aloenyx Congrats on selling your home and deciding to build. Good luck! Wow that is a big block!! Thanks it 3225 m2 nice flat and easy to work with. Fencing in also will help cut down our cost. Are you currently building? I am indeed building about 8 weeks away from handover, couldn't be more excited!! My land is only 293m2 So yours sounds enormous to me. But I wish I could have afforded land that big. My block is pretty average size for the estate I'm building in. One day I hope I can afford to move to a more regional area with a larger house and land. I have to pay for all my fencing and my estate requires a front fence too (which is costing about 8k ). I thought my land was going to be flat, but the estate put fill on it, so my site costs jumped up 6k and now I have a slope at the front of my block. Not the end of the world, annoying!! Re: The Jeffery Pad - Coral Homes - QLD 12Jan 15, 2017 7:18 pm Milestone How great is your block so flat and neat that will save you a fortune in the future and will be easy to landscape.. love that area we are in NSW mid north coast but a few of the Queensland builds fly along... so you might be in mid year, how exciting. A few things that might come up in the forum they don't brick over the windows and doors so you have to pay extra or put windows up under eaves... they don't put drain holes in laundry... add at least $3000to $5000 extra for electricial and around $7000 to $10000 in your loan for your colour selections at upgrades on exterior or interior fitting etc (we learnt this too late so now we have to save and pay out of our money for handover),.. they will only do the minimum site cut but I think you will be fine... extra for flyscreens.. that's all I can think off of the top of my head but if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask We are hoping by June but i have read enough to know thats probally not achievable. Thanks for the insite I cant believe they dont brick to eves bloody stupid its part of building a house, I read the drain hole thing last night and told hubby today he thought it was code in wet rooms!! Our sales consultant told us to speak to the electrician on site for any extra work we want done hope this works out for us but we made a small 5k allowance for power points, we want to supply our own fans etc. We have a $6300 allowance for engineered timber floors but are second guessing the product. We have a 4k allowance for colour consult...i can see this may not be enough!! I just found out yesterday you have to pay for the white mortor look hate to think how much it will cost..Do you know?? Any idea how much for drain hole, brick to eves? How much does the average Coral Build cost after people upgrade I wonder ? Re: The Jeffery Pad - Coral Homes - QLD 13Jan 15, 2017 7:33 pm Hi there, we are building a Noosa 26 so a bit smaller than yours but off white mortor was about $450 and bricks above windows and doors was about $1500 but that doesnt include the garage door. Will look forward to watching your build. Nice big block you have. We have just started our build and our contract end date for completion is 4th July. Hoping we are in sooner but it gives you an idea of what they allow for. The Jeffery Pad - Coral Homes - QLD 14Jan 15, 2017 7:49 pm I know it's not till you are in the thick of it that all these extras become apparent. We were doing the engineered flooring but went with dark grey tiles as we have 3 boys and that's what we are living on at the moment and as soon as it gets wet it swells and for the love of god don't drop anything heavy on it. grout does cost more and rectified tiles are more expensive. But I think with your allowance you have it covered forgot to say I think our off white mortar was $500 but we are 31 plus the bricks are all different categories so check out will your sp what is in your allowance and go to the brickyards and check them out ours were an extra $2500 so with off white $3000 cat 2 Milestone coral homes modified stradebroke 32 Re: The Jeffery Pad - Coral Homes - QLD 15Jan 15, 2017 9:03 pm aloenyx bribiebell aloenyx Congrats on selling your home and deciding to build.

Oh 8 weeks woohoo!! So exciting. Yes block sizes are so small now. Do you have a thread? Would love to know where your building and what plan you have Re: The Jeffery Pad - Coral Homes - QLD 16Jan 15, 2017 9:15 pm Hahahaha classic!!! Ooh I love the Noosa 29 design, the ensuite layout is so nice!!! Your block looks so luscious and flat Definitely add in more for your colour allowance, it all adds up Looking forward to following GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: The Jeffery Pad - Coral Homes - QLD 17Jan 15, 2017 9:15 pm Milestone I know it's not till you are in the thick of it that all these extras become apparent.

Maybe i should try national tiles which we can also use. We also went to the pgh yard to look at bricks. We found a build close to us and hubby knocked on her door today to ask her what bricks she used lol...stalkerish i know but they look cool and she was so lovely and helpful pic below of the house we stalked!!

Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck.
