Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Charleston Homes - anyone worked with them? 39Jan 10, 2019 8:26 am cag57 Wow, for $1.6m you must be building an absolute monster house with very high spec upgrades. This is a full custom build? Not one of their standard designs? Can you provide anymore details - plans, inclusions etc. Thanks Hi cag57 house is about 60sq we started with getting a quote for about $1.2m (INC site costs) but subsequently had seen the variations really add up. Design is still based on their display home albeit changed interior plan slightly. We decided to upgrade to go full brick downstairs with concrete slab and not take their vinyl instead opted for timber floors. Did you receive an initial quote from them?

We haven't got any concrete pricing from them yet as we are still deciding between a few builders before we go to tender. Based on your numbers your coming in over $2500 per sqm. This seems very high based on the talk from their sales staff we've had so far. We seem to be looking at about $2000 per sqm, but perhaps I haven't delved too much into the variations yet so it could go up with an actual tender. From the 2 or 3 we have short listed the build we are looking at would come in around $800,000 for 40sq with upgrades, but as I said maybe I'm missing things that'll pop up in an actual tender.

Once you signed the contract, they will find millions excuses to charge you. And have seen their sites unfinished for a long time. 4 24833 |
