Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Coral Homes DayDream 28 Build 7Sep 17, 2020 7:55 pm hi Jacob, found your blog as me and my husband in a process of building our home and Coral is one of the builder that we considered. May I know what is the biggest factor for you to chose Coral to other builders? I know that they are popular in QLD but many mixed reviews in NSW. Also, how much they quoted the driveway for your home?

May I know what is the biggest factor for you to chose Coral to other builders? I know that they are popular in QLD but many mixed reviews in NSW. Also, how much they quoted the driveway for your home? We are doing the driveway separate from the build as all builder overcharge for any concrete other then the slab. Every builder has horror stories, but coral has been reasonably priced with what we are hoping will be to there very good finish it doesn't look or feel cheap when you walk through there showrooms and its not all talk there facades are very reasonably priced. We went with the hamponts and with rawson homes which was our 1st preferred builder they were over priced and had very little to show for your frontage.

We thinking to get second tender from Coral because of their Hamptons looks. Thank you Jacob. Please keep us posted with the building progress. Re: Coral Homes DayDream 28 Build 10Oct 08, 2020 9:04 pm Wilton is Mine subsidence. Has Coral homes or your certifier consulted the NSW mine subsidence board? No issues if everything has been checked, just a friendly experience motivated question for your own follow up. Enjoy your new build and congratulations Re: Coral Homes DayDream 28 Build 11Dec 31, 2020 4:15 am i believe my next door neighbor is building this same floorplan in Bingara Gorge i think you will need to add another 50-70k to build a decent 28sq home in todays market especially with those additional variations you mentioned, once you hit the color studio you will see alot of things you didnt think were extras and all those small things add up. i noticed you went for 2.7 ceilings... if the budget allows get all your doors , bulkheads , robes and stacker doors raised to 2400 and if inclined to do so you could have your windows made bigger to suit or atleast raise them to be level with the tops of doors and bulkheads I said after the 1st build “ never again “ & now im on my 3rd Re: Coral Homes DayDream 28 Build 12Dec 31, 2020 4:17 am ps if you are over in greenbridge east you will more then likely only need an m class slab so there is a bit of a saving there I said after the 1st build “ never again “ & now im on my 3rd Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 14634 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish. So ask… 1 4615 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 19074 |
