I've been reading through this thread and it's got some great info for first time home buyers/builders like me and my partner. We are building the Cabana 33 and we had our soil test ordered on Friday so fingers crossed that comes back with good results. We made our first visit to Hopetoun yesterday. What a day that was...mind blowing. Just a query for those who have been to the Coco Republic furniture sale. We are planning to head down on Saturday and see if we can get any bargains. How does the day actually work? Is there a choice of most furniture that has been on display? And is it just first in, best dressed? Any insights would be much appreciated!

I don't know if they do with everyone but they did with us. We had a charge for the roof extension and pole and then a separate charge for the concrete.

Yes we were charged extra to do the alfresco. We also did our portico as well for a small cost. For us it was better and worth it to do all then and there and not have to worry about mud/dirt coming into the house after we move in. 1. Do your homework and get a price of doing it after handover. But you need to do this before signing contracts just in case you want PD to lay the cement. 2. You may find it a better option and less stressful to do it with Porter Davis because there is so still so much to do after handover (garden, furnishings etc..) and doing the alfresco now is one less thing you have to worry about. 3. At the end of the day it's funding. Good luck!!!!
