We used the Grand design and modified it a little to suit our budget, Shrunk it down to 205m2 internal. Like you this is the only design we came across that that didn't require massive internal changes. Any idea what the third garage would cost?

Third single garage cost around $5,000 but we still waiting for a quote from the sales person. Manny Calavera, I wish we can buy such a big block of land. We are looking everywhere at the moment but all blocks are too small for what we want. I found 1 ha block in Lewiston but my partner is reluctant to get that much land as it needs a lot of work to maintain it.

We found the block we liked, put an offer in and has been accepted. The land development under the process at the moment so no Titles are ready yet and probably won't for another 6 months or so which is fine with us. The block is 1600 sq m in size with 28 m frontage, what we wanted in every way. So while we are waiting on the land Title, we can start talking to the builder, get quotes and get everything ready for the build.

Did a few changes to the plan at our appointment and waiting for the costing quote now. We did not realise that the base price for the houses went up by $3,000 since October last year. The sales person in the display we visited told us there will be another increase by at least $10,000 by the end of the year so we want to lock in the price as soon as possible. We already started to look at the selections as it will be a bit of a process my first house I built by myself so it was pretty easy, I liked it, I chose it now we are doing it with my partner so lots of discussions about everything to make sure we both like what we are getting.

Last Wednesday we have signed the contract on the land and also signed Preliminary contract with the builder. Did go to Austral Brick Center and PGH Center on weekend and I would say we pretty much set on the brick now. We want to see how it is going to look with the roof colour we are thinking about as well. So far the choice is between Austral Discover brick with Monument roof and windows, light coloured (probably Surfmist) garage doors and entry door and darker gutters and PGH Mistique brick with white mortar and the same for other elements as the first choice.

Work in progress Hello! My partner and I are looking to potentially build the grand design with Fairmont this year as well. Just wondering if you would mind sharing the total cost of the build and whether you did any upgrades etc.? I always want to know how much the display version costs but they never seem too willing to give that information up! Any information would be greatly appreciated. Re: Fairmont Grand Design - Northern Adelaide 8Aug 04, 2021 1:01 pm LauraT2021, we have got the pricing for the display house in Two Wells. It was around $270,000 mark from memory. We did do some modifications to the plan adding third garage and making all three bigger (10 meters wide all three), we added butler's pantry on the side of the kitchen between the garage and alfresco (which we have extended as well), increased size of the garage doors. Also increased the ceiling heights to 2.7 meters. Few other minor bits and pieces. All up our price is $305,000 without driveway, air conditioning, solar or fencing.
