Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Firstyle Home - Marsden Park 19Jan 09, 2020 10:39 pm star26 TeslaCyberTruck star26 We’re building at Marsden Park with Newpark estate. Hey star26 - which builder are you using? How much was the land and what size (if you feel comfortable to share)? Probably we will go with Firstyle. The land is $405,000 for a 327sqm block. Cool, Marsden Park looks like an area that by 2025 / 2030 will be thriving, pretty sure they are going to extend the train line (metro) from Tallawong thru to the new West-Sydney Airport area and the MP train station will be near where there currently is a recycling centre (by looking at the maps). Once the train line is confirmed house prices will jump upwards in MP and when metro is actually operational and people visually see the train moving house prices will go up a bit more Are you planning to use an IBI (independent building inspector)? If so which one? I have listed some in one of the posts above so that incase in the future those in MP (and Schofields, Riverstone) are building they can see this forum posts and it will save them time and hassle having look up IBI's from scratch What is making you lean towards 'Firstyle' over the likes of Metricon and Eden Brae and AllCastle and Kaplan and Rawson and Elderton and Thrive and BellRiver and Burbank and McDonaldJones and Clarendon and Simonds and Adenbrook and Coral and Stockland and NewLiving ? Re: Firstyle Home - Marsden Park 20Jan 09, 2020 10:56 pm Onram Have decided to go with Logan facade The Logan facade looks really good as per this PDF saw online. How much is the house build (with GST)? I am sure you are aware that its a good idea to have some extra cash reserved incase extra costs pop-up at the handover (final) stage? I have heard via this forum - apparently what happens is when the handover stage happens there will be minor issues and faults and house will not be 100% which the IBI will notice pick-up in their final report. So then what happens is then one has to kind of 'negotiate' (like the unnecessary back and forth with a brand new petrol car carsalesman) how much extra one will pay to get all those things fixed They (builder) will fix quite a lot of things for free but apparently for some they will still try and get some extra $'s out of you, and apparently its the way to go because if one pays a few thousand $'s they will fully fix everything, but if one is aggressive and hard-arms the builder so you pay $0 extra apparently they wont fix all the issues properly Hi Kaiser85, We are building with Firstyle Homes.
