By that I mean landscaping, driveway, screen doors, flyscreens, letter box, clothesline, TV antenna, etc. If so you did extremely well! I guess we did a few extras alot of people wouldn't need to do, but I would have been very happy with $75k Hi Deryk, Yes includes most of those except only very basic landscaping as we're still undecided on what we're going to do. I didn't even think of the antenna! We have tv points in there, but didn't discuss anything with them about the antenna...hmm do you know roughly how much antennas cost including installation? I think we just assumed the tv points come with an antenna automatically...maybe it was just wishful thinking Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 19Jun 06, 2010 6:00 pm Katrina you are soooooooooooooo lucky! We had estate guidlines which we had to abide by for our landscaping. We had to submit a plan and put a deposit down to make sure we do it etc. Also in regards to an antenna I dare say it shouldn't cost you more than $1000 at the absolute worst! I have done quite a few antennas myself so I think I will have a go and do it myself and save the money Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 20Jun 07, 2010 9:20 am Bizzie Mummy Woodduck - did you upgrade much at the electrical appt or will you do a lot of upgrades after handover? Hi Bizzie, With all the other jobs DW has me doing after we move in, we chose to put a few down lights in to save time, also put in power points where I could back to back them on some walls etc. We budgeted around $3k and ended up doing $3k5. We are building the Chesterfield and including electrical, floorings (Porceline/carpet), no landscaping (our developer had a special with free landscaping) it will cost us around $100k more than list price.
