Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Cost on top of standard house package 8Sep 04, 2007 5:07 pm We are building with PD. Our house is 26sq (inc alfresco). The base price was $136k with extras it ended up at $172k. This final price did not include: floorcoverings, flyscreens, antenna, clothesline, fencing, landscaping, security doors etc..... It did include a $4.5k rebate for fencing/driveway.
We paid $7.5k extra for floating floors and carpet. Once we have completed landscaping, lighting, decking and the above extras I would say it will probably come in at around $210-$220k The budget you are working off seems pretty do-able ![]() Re: Cost on top of standard house package 9Sep 05, 2007 10:28 am ![]() wow, i'm starting to get worried.
