They werent going to credit it....so now they are supplying it to us once the construction is finished and i need to try and sell it afterwards lol. I got slugged an extra 2k for HBCF insurance, but i complained and got it reduced down to cost, thankfully. We also got slugged 1200 for a roof design issue that they blamed on our split level, that wasnt part of the design that was changed. Everyone should have a spare 10k from what their final price is... because SOMETHING will come up. Bit rediculous.. but kurmond have basically made the pool we wanted to get unaffordable because of all the last minute variations. So we have paid about 3k for a big gas line and 32amp power points for no reason now lol. Going to be a long slog to save up again Re: Building with Kurmond Homes 1799Oct 11, 2018 2:54 pm Oh update on our place We had our pre-lining inspection on Tuesday! Everything looks pretty good so far. Didn't find anything out of place at all. We have soundscreen as well. Nada did you get them to supply proof they put it in? I should message my SS and ask for a pic... Gyprock starts tomorrow, and we should have our staircase by the end of next week. Re: Building with Kurmond Homes 1800Oct 11, 2018 3:00 pm nada17 Mallik Hi Guys , Nada is correct above. They have sneakily included this even I signed the tender Feb 2018, that time I am sure HBCF was included in the inclusion list. I will check once I am at home. What should I do here? Its $5800 not a small amount at all. Also similarly they had added another item for tile upgrades, they still dispute to remove that too. They are just ruining their reputation by these kind of things... Mallik, how much is your total tender price if not a secret. HBCF depends on the price of home. Mine is about $340,000 and HBCF was $3400. Kurmond charged $3900. Also what's with tiles? did you choose something outside of their standard range? Hi Nada17, As I remember the build cost is somewhere 578k (As I remember). Regarding the tiles, same as "the dreams" case, we decided to upgrade tiles to entire downstairs, that we charged $5000, later during the Manago appointment we decided to upgrade other items too, including bathrooms. Manago price came somewhere 25k which we understood that we will get initial $5k will be removed from the tender, but they didn't do so. I am thinking to contact Fair Trade and get them involved in this case. My building experience https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=91499 Ask for references and speak to them.
