Is there anything we should be on the look out for or hiddent costs? Hi Hondo, Thx...no hidden costs as yet. There were a couple with the council during our DA application but in general no hidden costs. In saying that some of the items marked as provisional allowance or PA are on the low side and you should expect some of these to increase when they are finalised...we found our water tank and piering costs increased as the original PAs are on the low side. Depends also at what stage you are at...if you havent finalised the contracts then you have to consider things like landscaping, electrical etc which are also extra and above the home build costs.

Can you elaborate what you mean by electrical? Im guessing you went with the french style which they are knows for? We are looking at the modern facade and modern look inside.

Hi Hondo we went with a more traditional look but changed the layout inside. In terms of electrical we had to include quotes for lights (no led lights are included) and also wiring for media outlets, intercom, music, alarm etc which added up quickly.
