We're planning to buy Saville 27 ... Essential Pack price is roughly around 230. If we are to do full upgrade (just to match the display house ... as you can tell, we have fallen in love with the display house, so we are planning to build exactly like that) ... how much do you reckon will it goes above the Essential Pack price? somewhere around 50K on top of the Essential Pack?

Hi Tempura been lurking the forums for a while and im looking into the same thing (will start my own thread soon!). My fiancee and I looked out at Spring Farm at the Saville 27 and think its great. I wanted to know the same thing, how much exactly will it cost to get it looking like the display home? Thanks for your help! Re: Eden Brae People! 19May 23, 2010 7:14 pm It depends on which inclusions are actually in the display house. Just from what I can see from the pics on the website The front door is not standard. The facade is an extra and there will be the 2 choices of aluminium or timber as with the display and then stained timber or painted timber. The powerpoints throughout are not standard, there is only 1 TV point as standard. You will have to ask specifically if the tiles are standard or upgrade tiles. Is the display kitchen laminate or stone benchtop. The oven and stove are standard if you get the upgrade package. The bathroom tiling is not standard, I don't think the bathroom vanity is standard either. Our base price was about 235k and our final contract price is about 305k but that is with 10K bushfire upgrades and $5k marine upgrade. $7k electrical upgrade, $3k kitchen upgrade, $4 flooring upgrade, $3500 stormwater, $1800 extra site cost, I can barely remember all the upgrades we had though, extra floor space, air con. The garage door is not standard. The timber or timber look is exxy. I think it will be more than the 50K to get it to display home price. We went through the display home again today and and it was interesting as we took the children because they hadn't been since we chose the house and they wanted to see their bedrooms. They asked a zillion questions about what we are getting and not getting. They had fine detail about placement of power points. (display home has 2 in each bedroom - only one is standard) Re: Eden Brae People! 20May 24, 2010 11:12 am All the below refers to the Middleton Grange Saville 27 display home, I know the Spring Farm one is different, but it was so long ago since I been to that one, I thought I'd just refer to the one I do rememebr clearly... The downlights they have throughout are not standard (about $130 each if i remember correctly), standard is just the light fitting, no light shade. As fernyhouse said, standard is 1 double power point and 1 light fitting per room, only 1 tv point and 1 phone point (extra TV, phone and power points are about $75 I think) The overhead cupboards are about 1400, and the glass doors on them an additional 700-odd The mosaic tiled feature walls are not standard at all, nor is the kitchen splashback tile, both of which are also more exxy to lay as they are a smaller, fiddlier tile to lay. The standard kitchen splashback tiles are a joke, you have 2 to choose from, and we thought both were horrible (a royal blue colour or a sandstone style colour). The laminate wall in the kitchen with the door over the fridge space is about $1500 from memory. Larger floor tiles are also a bigger cost to lay per sqm The floor tiles and carpet ARE standard (we asked, and ended up getting the same ones) The sliding door from meals to Alfresco is a $2500 upgrade (standard is just a window) Standard is a plain concrete slab for the Alfresco, and no slab for the front porch The vanity in the main bathroom that extends over the end of the bath isnt standard either, i think that is about $1500 as well, neither is the shaving cabinet above it, standard is just a plain mirror. External lights are upgrades (the only standard one is the 'bunker' light outside the laundry), so the lights out the front are around $130 each, just for the junction box, actual light itself is more, and standard is no external power points (except for water tank pump & HWS) - these are also about $130 each Ummm, thats all I can think of atm that isn't standard Hope it has helped you in some way, and that you aren't completely discouraged by the above I built with EB back on 2009.
