Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Million dollar home in Perth 47Sep 19, 2021 10:42 pm shaidas I would have thought that is obvious. This is a custom builder. Your house is not a cookie cutter design where the builder knows the costs beforehand because they have built a display home and 10s of the same design and layout. They will give you a cost before signing the contract. For that stage you have to pay them to get your design done so that they can design the house and cost what you want in your house. That should have been evident. I hope I have not wasted my time trying to help you Not sure if you are looking at building with Riverstone or what exactly you want but hopefully I have helped you out. Ah well, I suppose anyone using a custom builder will get help from my post. I wish someone had detailed it out like I have before I decided to build. Apologies, I was not sure how you were aware of the cost breakdown since Riverstone have not mentioned that I would get a cost breakdown at the detailed design stage, which we are about to do next - 2% of the cost of the home, detailed design and council planning. You have been super helpful Shai, thanks for taking the time to respond. Re: Million dollar home in Perth 48Sep 19, 2021 10:56 pm AsxTradingGirl shaidas I would have thought that is obvious.

No, Riverstone do not take percentages so obviously you are not quite true in your intentions or they have changed their stance which is quite easy for me to confirm since their director is an email away. Percentage is more Seacrest style.. Well I do not know what you want or why you started this conversation but best of luck with your build if you are building. Hopefully I have helped some other people who are looking at building a house to their needs. Re: Million dollar home in Perth 49Sep 19, 2021 11:12 pm Here is there process: https://riverstone.com.au/our-process/#design-process See the "Concept Design" section: Concept design This is one of the steps clients find the most exciting because they can really start to visualise what their new luxury home will look like. As part of our design service, we’ll present you with a 3D elevation that helps you see your new home from all angles. We’ll also present a budget estimate at this point. Once you’re completely happy with the concept plans, we’ll ask you to sign off on your Preparation of Plans Agreement (PPA) and pay a non-refundable contract package fee, which is 2% of the budget estimate. Re: Million dollar home in Perth 50Sep 19, 2021 11:27 pm You got that off their website aye ? Have you engaged with a sales consultant yet ? That blurb refers to post design stage. ONCE YOU ARE COMPLETELY HAPPY WITH THE CONCEPT PLANS. Have you got the concept plan sorted ? What is your name and which sales consultant are you engaged with ? If you are genuine good for you ..I shall do all I can to help you out . Re: Million dollar home in Perth 51Sep 19, 2021 11:53 pm Well you had me going there for a second scamster. Most people building in the million plus range are not looking online but that is changing rapidly so hopefully this helps someone out and my effort in posting does not go to waste Re: Million dollar home in Perth 52Sep 20, 2021 12:28 am I am not a scamster. Our design consultant is Anna. We do have concept plans which don't have detail - that only comes at the next stage after I pay 2% of the build budget. The concept comes with a Quotation Report. Ours Quotation report does not have line item amounts which is what I was asking you. Maybe you had the flooring etc. added as Provisional Sums?? She told me that they don't break down the amounts, but maybe they do after you get the Detailed Design, which is our next step. I don't understand why you think I'm a scammer, I was legitimately asking about the process you went through but I'll just ask Anna instead. Re: Million dollar home in Perth 53Sep 20, 2021 12:34 am Mate , there is no Anna in Riverstone. You are not a girl. You are just trying too hard .. everything comes with time. Stop struggling so hard and making a joke of yourself. Or keep trying.. your choice kid. Re: Million dollar home in Perth 54Sep 20, 2021 1:05 am shaidas Mate , there is no Anna in Riverstone.

I think you might want to chill a little bit. ASX seems to be asking legit questions and you are acting quite rude. I just googled Riverstone and Anna Pearce is their deign consultant so maybe you are the one who is wrong. I don't understand the hostility??
