Wow I was told to budget 10k per metre fall....so would have expected 1.5m to be around 15k!

Also the build prices have gone up. Re: Arden Developments 1077Aug 01, 2017 8:12 pm I have not checked since the last rise, but when we signed in Feb 17 the Votivo 43 for 349,00 now it is 357,900 Re: Arden Developments 1078Aug 01, 2017 11:05 pm Special_K Tessar 50sq home close to 700k base on Bespoke 437? The basic price of Bespoke now is 530K so you have 170K for the upgrade, or may be the site cost is included. From my memory there are some major expenses in display such as glass & hard wood stairs (17K), fire place package (over 20k), smeg appliances (~18k), timber stairs (>25k) , downlights (>13k) and,upgraded tile pattern in Powder and Master ENS (>10k) and two sets of bi-fold door in living and kitchen (~6k). I would suggest to take out the smeg . You can provide appliances to Arden from the good guys or E&S trading. Huge savings! Considering to use timber look laminate floor and sliding door instead of bi-fold. Use normal range of tiles in bathroom. Use range 1 bricks but do the rendering for the entire facade. Concrete roof tile range 1 is good enough. You can still get 90% similarity as the display house by adding 70K to the basic price which will be 530K+70K=600K. Which I dislike the Bespoke display is they only put tiles on wet area in level 1 bathrooms. A house with marble fire place and in-build smeg coffee machine shouldn't do that:) Strongly suggest to put tile from floor to ceiling in all bathrooms. Hey T, how did you find arden's selection of Tiles and Carpets in the bespoke range?? The bespoke carpet, floor and tile range is cat 1.... you need to spend quite a lot to upgrade Re: Arden Developments 1079Aug 01, 2017 11:08 pm ribbox I have not checked since the last rise, but when we signed in Feb 17 the Votivo 43 for 349,00 now it is 357,900 All builders increased their price heavily this year. My Bespoke 437's base price is $474K in early 2016 and now it is $541k on their website.
