Browse Forums Building A New House Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 275May 03, 2019 9:10 am Mojitostan CYNNAV Great discussion! Thanks a lot, everyone for providing a detailed insight into your builds. We have paid the initial money to do the soil test etc to get a tender drafted. We are looking to build the Grandworth 42.5 with slight modifications at Baulkham Hills in NSW. It will be a KDR. We are working with Julia Clay from the Kellyville office. She has been upfront and open so far building our confidence to sign up with them. Our home plan with all the changes has come to $450K plus demo costs, electrical and any other upgrades. I'm keen to have a look at the included flooring options (tiles, carpets, laminates etc) to get an idea on what they are offering without upgrading. Has anyone got photos from their appointments with tile and carpet companies? Thanks in advance Expect another $30 ka at the colouring appointment and $20 at the electricals , tiles would be $10m at least ... Plus drive way $20 , land scape about $30k at least so.... watch out Wowza. The sales person told me, in fact, you can do both driveway and landscaping with the 12K allowance, which I think is a joke reading all the comments on landscaping. What is the minimum we need to do in terms of landscaping to get the OC certificate? I want to keep the costs low there. Also, there is a stormwater easement in the property. We have a 700sqm land. Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 276May 03, 2019 9:16 am ymiao4398 the facade cost does not include full brick on the back wall, if you want full brick it's another 6k-9kish. DA costs are all included, unless additional BASIX upgrades are needed. council we had to pay an inspection fee to the council for the council owned part of the driveway i think around $300. demo around 20-30k. 6k electrical is okish unless you want to add networking points. it's the colour selection that could be over budget for you. e.g. if you want full floor to ceiling tiles in the bathrooms in the standard tile range it's goign to be around 9k upgrade, if you want better tiles as the standard ones are not that great your looking at another 5kish. that's just tiles, carpet if you want to upgrade the carpet it's around 3k i think. i would not do laminated flooring with them, if you want to do laminated flooring get the carpet/tiles removed from that section and find someone after handover to do. they were quoting $80/sqm to upgrade and it's a fairly low quality flooring. you can get quickstep installed for less then $100/sqm their secureview screen doors are priced reasonably, we paid $1k for the front door one. which is on par doing it after handover. but yes your colour selection the cost will add up. if i add in my tiles cost we spent 45k all up in colour selection. and thats after the 12k voucher. i suggest you don't do any tile upgrade at the colour selection, but do it with the tilers directly. Thanks mate! I was going to keep the carpet upstairs and just stick to the one that is included in the price. I have a young child and hope to have more and hence expect the carpet will be trashed as they grow up. Will change the flooring upstairs later. Downstairs flooring is something I'm more interested in. The inclusion is 600x300 porcelain glazed tiles, bamboo or laminate. I was thinking to go with the porcelain tiles or the laminate depending on the options available. Do you have any pics of the included tile and laminate ranges? Btw who is the tile supplier maybe I can google the products them if you have a name. Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 277May 03, 2019 10:19 am CYNNAV Mojitostan CYNNAV Great discussion!

Re: KDR - Allcastle Homes Grandworth 45 MK2 280May 11, 2019 8:14 am Herre Yes, they will upgrade the ground floor to 2.59 for free as it is included in the super infinite package. Hi guys, I've just discovered this forum and wish I'd done so earlier. We're doing a KDR in Pendle Hill building a Grandworth Newbury MKII 37. We've just had the slab laid 6/05 and they've done outdoor drainage 10/05, frames to be delivered 15/05, went steel frames with hybrid trusses. Seems to be progressing quickly. We upgraded ground floor to 3M ($8k) and upstairs to 2.7 ($4k), as my wife and I want ceiling fans and have always fancied high cielings. Thank you all for your insight and happy to keep this going to contribute as we progress and any help or suggestions along the way is appreciated Hi we are looking to talk to people who have built with them recently. We have signed mid range built contract but identified that a lot of things are not included.… 0 1739 Was the offer also on their website? If so, you could check the Wayback Machine. 1 1807 Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes. I am looking for feedback on them from others who have built with them. 0 14237 |
