Browse Forums Building A New House Coral Homes - Modified Longreach 33 in QLD 39Apr 19, 2017 8:39 pm I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that about those new plantation prices and plans. Oh god could you imagine how average those display would look without all the finery?? It's slightly annoying they are so over done and very unaffordable, I've looked at so many I find it a shock now to see a display house pared back. Agree about the McDonald jones ones, the acreage one at rochedale is stunning, they won't build in our area though (heck I can't even get a normal 45kg gas bottle delivery here 🤷🏼♀️) Here is my longreach, I just got the sales rep to email me the plans and I just print them and cut and paste while taking notes. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I spoke to the builder who lives over the paddock from me and he builds a lot of hope island and sovereign island homes and he said $1600-$1800 is pretty normal for those guys, $1400 -$1500 for me. OMG no!! Yes I do agree to that, coral and most of the big boys are now marketing to people who only want minor changes like windows or doors, maybe a few walls but not to the degree that we want. People are walking away only to find out custom builders are pricey and they can more than likely compromise on the design and make do. To be honest we could of compromised too and used the garage as 2 bedrooms and a bathroom and just put in a bigger shed. I really want a garage connected to the house though so we stepped away. Did you find any pics of your facade?? It will look great once it's finished. How's progress this week? Coral might be painful as hell through admin but once they get to site they normally do a great build and quickly too. There are so many amazing builds on here, it's a great library of resources I have to admit, one of my favs is a custom home in brissy it's was a stunning build. Re: Coral Homes - Modified Longreach 33 in QLD 40Apr 21, 2017 10:28 pm I would like to see one of those Plantation homes to see what you get for your money. Hallmark leave their display homes bare and it's a bit weird looking around them as rooms look smaller without furniture in them. We nearly went with Hallmark as really liked their retreat acreage design. I might have a sticky beak at the McDonald Jones one if I'm in the area. We were too scared to look in the Metricon and Stroud ones at Jimboomba lol Holy moly!!!! That design is huge, would have been an absolute monster of a house, can't believe they let you walk away Wow......that is nearly double the cost of a 'normal' build, a serious investment. I would have a 150m2 house at that cost lol. Maybe they are trying to make even more money or competition is getting tight. Why compromise if you don't need to, I think you would end up being disappointed in the long run and sounds like you're happy with your decision and that's what counts No pics yet, will have a look over the weekend. Has been a good week, pics below Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 13745 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish. So ask… 1 1768 Hi all. Anyone know when the $11,000 limit was set in legislation for renovations in QLD? Ive been renovating for 5 years now and this was the limit back then. As we know,… 0 4237 |
