We were quoted about $20,000 to include it with the build. We have to put money elsewhere for our youngest daughter who will be needing some surgery and rehab on her foot as well as future heart surgeries. She only has 2 toes on her right foot and a lot of scar tissue reducing her movement in her ankle. We have done heaps of work on getting her walking but as she grows her function is reducing and she will need plastic surgery to fix the muscle, remove the scar tissue and have a skin graft over the area as well. So we need to have a few thousand $$ in an account for her medical expenses and associated costs with long hospital stays and dr's visits. We plan on saving up and adding a few split systems after we move in. If we are lucky the upgraded heating system may allow us to add refrigerated cooling to it later depending on the model (why dont they tell you the model when you upgrade it???) Title is hopefully due in april at this stage but im thinking more May as we havent heard anything about a date yet, you have easter in april and stge 12 next to us (we are stage 13) is having service connection issues (drainage and power to the stage). Its a touch painful as our block is finished and ready to go but it need to get compliance certification and all that stuff from council.

Sorry to hear about your daughter & hope it all works out. The ducting used for refrigerated is larger than the heating only ducting and is double insulated in the roof cavity so check with the installer whether you will be able to add it later.

Pretty happy with the process so far, and we are luckily enough to have been given the new slab solution instead of the original M slab. Not sure that there is much difference since we required pillars anyway due to the amount of fill on the block. Might just be a different type of pillar. So our total budget so far has come in at $397,00 but e are waiting on the energy report to come back again as we made a few changes after the last report due to cost. We have taken out the picture window cause i know my kids would put a ball through it and it would cost a fortune to replace. We have also taken out the higher ceiling upstairs and a few minor thing like the taps in the kitchen and laundry as i didn't like the ones that had so went with the standard so i can replace them with my choice after hand over. We also reverted back to Cat 2 chestnut bricks as i didn't like the look of the truffle brick in the smaller size, i wanted the larger size but they are unavalible now.

Now we're waiting on the the energy report to come back, the developer approval to come back and get the contracts. We have preliminary approval from the bank for our loan as well so now we just need to get the contact finalised and signed off then valued by the back and we have all of our finance sorted. We still haven't heard anything from the land office about settlement of our land so i'm presuming that we wont settle this month possibly next month. Hopefully its in May after we have gone to the melbourne home show and checked everything out. I definitely want everything settled by june otherwise it just makes it to long since we go pre approval and we have to do it all over again.

We spent the day in Berwick on saturday and i confident in our choices and that the queenscliff will make a fabulous home for us. I managed to have a chat with the riverwalk sales office on thursday last week and have been advised that they hope to have the stage sent off for compliance at some stage next week so maybe in May we will have our titles. Other than that not much to report back on as nothing has changed. Can wait for titles. I do have a question to ask, what extra permits/bonds/fees did you all have to pay to get building permits issued for construction??

We're in Casey council and had to pay some ridiculous bond to the council and our developer paid the other one they ask for (I can't remember what it was called) but had something to do with the subdivision Re: Building our dream home- Fairhaven Queenscliff in Riverw 19Apr 17, 2017 5:59 pm Bergman58 Old Bloke Understand the budget constraints.
