I'm building with Celebrations soon, too. Can I ask what you ended up doing with aircon, side and rear landscaping, and the crossover? I'm stressing out about what to spend money on first, and what to finance and what to pay cash for. I'm picturing me only having a bed, fridge and a couch inside for a while, haha! It's not that bad, but I do have to work out priorities. What did the crossover and soak wells set you back if you don't mind my asking? First home builder - Brightwood Estate, Baldivis.

I haven't actually got around to doing the side and rear landscaping yet, so it is still just sand. I really need to just map out what I want to do with it and start getting some quotes. Aircon I also haven't done yet. I didn't have the money left to get it done before Summer as I expect ducted reverse-cycle will cost at least $10k. I will keep on saving for a few more months and get it done in time for next Summer. The crossover I had done by a paver my site supervisor recommended. It ended up costing $1750. That should be your first priority as it is pretty important and I don't think you can legally move in without one. Soak wells were supplied and installed by Perth Soakwells for $2200. They did a really good job. I think I ended up getting 26 of the poly cube soak wells installed. I didn't finance anything other than the house and land, so everything I have had done since handover has been out of pocket. It definitely adds up. I think I have spent around $20k so far and it will be around another $20k to really finish it off. That doesn't even include furniture.

I'll be moving in just before summer, so besides crossover I definitely wanted to have landscaping and aircon done. That means soakwells and retic getting done too! Big jobs. $2200 for soakwells sounds a lot better than I was expecting. The prospect of digging myself was pretty daunting so good to know that's a feasible option if I decide I can't be bothered! Crossover I'd expected to be about $1,800 - so it's good to have that figure backed up. I think financing the aircon is the only way I'll be able to get it done post handover and also do the other stuff I need doing with cash. On that subject, the cheapest quote I got was a 14kw Samsung with 6 zones and 10 outlets, about $9k from memory. Everything else was between there and $12k. Definitely shop around and hopefully winter might bring some specials about. Jeff Mouritz and Ford & Doonan were among the better prices. First home builder - Brightwood Estate, Baldivis.
