Hopefully I can avoid that but I'm happy to pay that, I want the niches quite badly!! Thanks again for your advice let me know when you've done your pre start. mines booked in for end of this month. I'm definitely upgrading the steel basin in the laundry and want undermount sink. very keen to know how much these upgrades are.

I'm definitely upgrading the steel basin in the laundry and want undermount sink. very keen to know how much these upgrades are. Hi Mate, Just had pre start on Thursday. I ended up upgrading the laundry steel basin and adding a full length bench in the laundry which I was really happy about. I didn't end up going for the undermount kitchen sink! It was going to be really expensive, around $1700 if I remember correctly, and the pre start consultant made a really good point, If you have the undermount sink and then accidentally chip the stone bench top you're pretty much screwed! In all honesty the sink that comes as standard was really modern and looked really good anyway! I am waiting on prices now, as on pre start day they will write everything up and it takes a few weeks to get everything priced up, then sent back to me so I can choose what I want to go ahead with. Let me know how you go and when I find out some prices I'll keep you updated Re: WA Building Company 12Jul 10, 2021 2:58 pm zachary98 mkbdard zachary98 Thanks for that, I hadn't considered the need for the extra double bricks!

Re: WA Building Company 13Jul 10, 2021 3:39 pm $1700 is definitely crazy and unfortunately I couldn’t justify spending that much on something that really wasn’t going to make a huge difference. Yes that’s exactly what the laundry layout was originally!! Ended up moving the linen cupboard to the opposite wall and moving the basin to the end of the laundry to make better use of the space and also to allow room for the bench, they couldn’t give me a price there and then although because I deleted the wall where the linen was, I should get some credit for that! My consultant Sharon was absolutely fantastic, really knew her stuff and helped me move a lot of things including the layout of my ensuite to make better use of the space, she is worth her weight in gold! Good luck when you go for yours!

Yeah that laundry plan sounds good Re: WA Building Company 16Jul 10, 2021 6:54 pm zachary98 Hey Guys, Long time reader first time poster, I love this forum I have found some amazing advice already! I was wondering If anyone here has built with WA Building Company? How was your experience with them overall? I have signed my building contract with them and hopefully slab will be going down next month! Also wondering If anyone who had built with them, had any prestart prices they may be able to share with me? Thanks everyone Could I suggest doing a thorough due diligence, we have some articles on our page that may be of use too. Re: WA Building Company 18Aug 27, 2021 5:34 pm I'm also really keen to know what these guys are like. I've just spoken to a consultant and am meeting them next week to go over what they can offer me. I'm on a tight budget but the consultant has assured me that they would be able to offer me something. I'll also be seeking finance vis keystart so fingers crossed. Good luck with your build mate.

They give you stats from "Recommended" to "Avoid" and if the "Avoids" are statistically too many, then do not choose that builder. faultless is hard to find, talk to your builder because it has real potential to hold up the schedule so needs to someone they work well with.
