They definately charge a lot for somethings. We left them to do most things - stormwater, perimeter concrete, carpet, and driveway, but took out the tiles when they increased the cost by 50% after colour selections (and we'd picked from the bronze range). The other stuff it just seemed simpler to get them to do it so that the house was mostly complete at handover and our finance company needed it all done before they'd consider the house was finished contract signed: Nov 09 Released to Construction: 23 Jul 10 Slab poured: 9 Aug 10 Frame completed: 30 Aug 10 Windows & Gutters: 7 Sep 10 Bricks: 15 - 23 Sep 10 Roof: 24 Sep 10 Gyprock: 20 Oct 10 Lockup: 25 Oct 10 Kitchen: 27 Oct 10 Tiling: 6 - 9 Nov 10 Painting: 17 Nov 10 Carpet: 30 Nov 10 PCI: 15 Dec 10 Handover: 17 Dec 10 https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=35943 Re: New build - Adelaide Mk II, Statesman Homes 8Aug 10, 2010 4:58 pm Havoc, If your stormwater is only going to be around $2000 to get them to do it, GO FOR IT. Get the builder to do the stormwater if it's not to much. We didn't even know that the builder could do the stormwater. We got a quote after handover and it was $2000 so we thought we would do it ourselves. It has taken hubby _forever_ to do it. For most other things I would say do it yourself after handover, it will be much cheaper. But try get them do the stormwater.

We were also going to build with them in The Summit Mt Barker but after 3 mths with a not so helpful sales person and then another sales person told us they would have never built the house because we had made to many changes and they are a project builder. We decided to look elsewhere. But I do wish you good luck with you build. Not quite as far along as you but I will start my own thread once I have something to show.

Thanks for sharing your plan. We also might have to reverse the garage and main bedroom so it was good to know we are not the only ones. How are things going? Have they made a start with the building yet?

We love our house. We have had no major issues with the house. A few minor problems but you're gonna get them with any build. Once our land settled, the process went pretty quickly - 5 months from land settlement to handover.

We are building a statesman home in the barossa, the adelaide mk 2, split design, but not split, and with a lot of changes! We are at the framework, windows stage, very exciting! This is the second house we have built, the first was 10 years ago with hickenbothams! Wow, did we learn a lot, so HOPEFULLY this time we will do things a lot better. If you want me to post our plans let me know, it's a bit different!

We are currently thinking of either building the Adelaide Mk II or Hickinbothams Rochester (http://www.hickinbotham.com.au/page/con ... s_type/111). This will also be our second build the first one being completed in 2001.
