Due to the size of the house I am interested in your experiences and costs re Electrical AC Landscape, specifically Driveway (we are having a triple) Anything else that blew you away Thanks Hi MightyAnt As you have probably seen from the main Wisdom thread, we are also building Wisdom's M52, currently @ bricking stage. There a couple of active members who are building the same. We changed the master plans quite a bit to suit our block and preferences. I think the build ends up being close to 59sq W's inclusions are very good, we paid for the Prestige package in our contract last year. We had variations on most things, it really comes down to personal preferences and budget. Electricals, we will do some after handover, but most things will be done by W on the ground floor. AC we upgraded to the ESP Plus. The included system will work fine, the ESP Plus a little more efficiently. We added a couple of extra zones and also some slimline grilles. Landscape we were quoted something ridiculous by W, the driveway $17k. Very doubtful we will be doing much with W here, they are just too expensive. We will use the $5k voucher for something. Kitchen & butlers fitout was our biggest upgrade. Any questions you have, happy to try and answer. Good luck with the build. Oz. If ok can you send me a copy of your design plan Hi all Sorry we ended up pulling out and not building with wisdom, admin was horrendously slow. Hope everyone the best with their builds. I can help with general knowledge as we are just about at lockup Thanks Mightyant[/quote]Hi MightyAnt, When is it declared as lock up stage? Do you mind to advise?

Then they commence your interior cabinetry and finishings. Re: Building Wisdom Manahattan 52 20Jun 20, 2018 11:35 am I have just built a Wisdom home. I wish we had built with another builder. We have had nothing but problems. i'm currently going through trades coming back to fix a lot of issues with now includes a wall being replaced, floors being pulled up, apparently our kitchen needs some replacing, i'm currently in discussions with Fair Trading and i'm mentally exhausted. I will never build with WH again. Hi, guys! If you've built with Wisdom Homes, would you mind sharing images of your front facades once they're all rendered?
