Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Coral Homes / Milan 24 / South Brisbane - First build 34May 15, 2019 10:47 pm House is locked. We are up to internal fit offs. Not long to go but our kitchen cabinets are all wrong and we are waiting for the correct one to be sent from melbourne. Re: Coral Homes / Milan 24 / South Brisbane - First build 35May 21, 2019 10:51 am Thank you so much, just read your incridible post and its very useful. Wondering if you can share how much was the deviation with respect to cost and what was not included in the quote you recieved from the coral sales guy initially. I met the sales guy at the display house and he has given me a quote for double storied house base price 228 + 60 for all the frills including drive way (exposed aggregate finish). I wanted to check if its safe enough to have an additional allowance of 10K, which is going to be 298k = ~300K? Or are there any more hidden and must have expenses which will be from pocket??

If you want a no frills basic home, then yes $60k would. Be good. I can only Speak for a single story homes. My sales guy was spot with only $1k to $2k positive or negative. I budgeted $100k from base price ($175k). We are at $280k and we haven't included driveway, landscaping, fencing, mail box, blinds and etc. In saying that, we spent majority of the money on the kitchen as we believe thats the central focus whne the time comes to sell or increase value. We spent approximately $25k to $30k just on kitchen upgrade. We could. Have easily spend more but We had to stop somewhere. Driveways are notoriously expensive with builders. Best to source it externally Re: Coral Homes / Milan 24 / South Brisbane - First build 39Sep 27, 2019 6:05 pm From memory, it was around $4,500. After 6 months & 2 different house designs in 2 different estates, fail to meet valuation. 0 881 I was roughly aware of the costs and we thought we wouldn't go for them.. but on the day we ended up choosing them anyway..
