But can someone else deliver the same at a lower cost is the question.
More than likely not, if you have the money why would you compromise? You get what you pay for. If you get a cheaper price there is a reason for it being cheaper

AFAIK that's only applicable if the delays are within the builders control (force majeure), we are in unchartered waters for the next 12 months. I suggest you get legal advice ASAP shaidas This is not a project build, custom builders rely mostly on ongoing referrals and goodwill is what makes or breaks them. The builder in question takes on no more than 30 builds a year and has zero negative feedback anywhere online. I am sure they would like to keep it that way instead of intentionally screwing up one build which is why I chose them. LOL, that's sales talk mate. Along with comments like, "we treat clients like a member of our family", " house review gave us 50 stars" (Humour), etc,etc BTW Doctors, Engineers, courts, deal with data and proofs, salesman say whatever goes I suggest you keep a very close eye on your Build Cheers Chris Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Million dollar home in Perth 37Sep 10, 2021 1:11 pm I certainly hope your fears are unfounded. I am more a glass half full kind of a person and a doctor to boot . Keep an eye on this post. I shall definitely be posting back if things go sideways and will be posting back if things turn out good. If they go bad you can say I told you so but if they turn out good don't say you just got lucky Re: Million dollar home in Perth 38Sep 10, 2021 1:19 pm That's what they all say but generally my private messages say different You are good for an extra $200K...(humour) Put up the data and proofs and let others decide Cheers Chris Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Million dollar home in Perth 39Sep 17, 2021 11:57 pm Well good news, bricks are on site and brick layers have started a week before schedule. at least I think that is good news.. I am sure you do not, specially now . Well I trusted Riverstone, paid their 60k extra. Like I said , there is a difference between project and custom builders. But if it doesn't go well , I lose a few hundred thousand and they lose their business which is what I was telling you structuralBIMGuy, at this scale of the market, poor build quality and bad work will shut down the company .. well if they make a mess of mine, I will work very hard on making that happen . But I am keeping a very close eye on the build mate just as you suggested and shall report back Re: Million dollar home in Perth 40Sep 18, 2021 4:18 pm Hi Shaidas, So is the 60k increase because of the cost of materials or did you make changes? I did ask if we could be subject to a price increase based on the current climate and was told no increase unless we make changes which would be subject to a variation. The issue is that I might want to make changes ie. add inbuilt cupboards to certain rooms which would be subject to variations but was told it would be costed at the detail design phase which is next. How much detail did you specify at the concept? Thanks! We already paid for somfy motors for the blinds. The quote above was purely for “pre-wiring” so the blinds company can install the motors and blinds. That’s why we… 5 16288 I am not sure whether Perth has its own way of doing things in regards to this. Most of Perth has class A (sandy soil), except for some areas near rivers or hills. 2 13105 1 11011 |
