I've included a few colorbond visualiser pics to get an idea too. Where are you building? Not included in this is the gravel access track/driveway, which we doing through our own contractor which is $8,000 plus more if our crossover needs drainage (90m by 3m, with turning circle near the house), which he'll assess once we're on site with him to confirm the location. Still waiting for an updated pre-start addenda, however we have also asked for a new site plan from the drafting department to be sent through because we've be recommended to change our septic location. Watch this space.

Prestart went very smoothy, I am so glad I compiled all our selections into a spreadsheet and sent it through to our consultant ahead of time. It definitely saved some sanity. Plus, I did up my own electrical plan for them to photo copy. Doing the bulk of our structural changes up front meant there weren't very many on the spot decisions to be made either and those that we did make weren't major such as swapping colorbond downpipes to painted PVC for tank connection and DHO heights. One thing that wasn't mentioned before prestart was that by having the internal painting package with gyprock walls Redink make a recommendation to have skirting boards to finish the wall or sign a waiver that they recommended it and any damage isn't covered under warranty etc. Skirting boards were a nice to have later down the line but, once we got home we decided to just go with it. We've gone with a "finish the house entirely approach". Looking forward to getting approvals in place and earth earth workers breaking ground.

My house was finished in December with gyprock walls and they were never mentioned to me. I am currently spending my nights painting them... Painting the walls or the skirting? Did you have skirting put in post handover? Perhaps its a new thing. I spoke to a mate that does ceiling fixing and gyprock walls and he said that their recommendation for skirting is legit, so I'm happy to run with it. They're painting them though, the same colour as our internal doors and frames.

The house was painted as part of the package. If my tiling had been done Pre handover I would have probably included them. The tiling company under estimated the amount of tiles I needed and they are finally being delivered tomorrow. I would have been pretty cheesed off if my house had sat around for 6 weeks waiting for tiles. It is so close to being completely finished now.
