First off, Id like to thank everyone for supplying info, prices and details to this thread (and forum) as it has been a great help to me in deciding what to ask Masterton to include in the tender. I have been researching plans and companies for a few years now while waiting to sell my other house. I decided on the Sirocco 7 as I have a large block (1157sqm) and the layout is ideal. The sale of my other house will settle this Friday (woohoo) so in the last few weeks I have seriously been researching and educating myself on what I require, and what to look for with Masterton. Site inspection was done on the 30th of Jan and are currently at the point of our local sales office sending off the details to Sydney today, so I should hopefully know in around a couple of weeks time where I stand?? So far Ive managed to squeeze this out of the sales office: Base Price - $189,250 (9 month old regional price) Mansion package - $4,990 Ducted A/C - $5,990 Alfresco with slab - Free Platinum package - $15,000 optional bathroom layout - $1595 Study/5th bedroom option - $10,500 2nd coat of coloured paint (standard is 1 coat of tinted undercoat and 1 coat of colour) - $900 Here's the other things that I have opted for but are waiting for pricing (thanks to you guys for info too): 2700mm ceilings Ducted Glass canopy range-hood. Tiled Recess to showers in both the bathroom and ensuite Enviroseal wall wrap Feature wall painting to Media room. (one wall only). Terracotta roof tiles (Nouveau) and sarking (if required). 2 x whirlybirds 4 x snap vents to eaves triple stacker sliding doors water line to fridge space for ice-maker? sound proofing to home theater? extend the front of the garage to the same line as the master bedroom Will be interested to see the site and basix costs. I already have power/water/phone/septic connected and running to the cabin. Bush fire report done. (BAL 19) Its a bit like counting the jelly beans in the jar at the moment. Any one want to have a guess at my total price? Prize for closest guess is your a dead-set legend Cheers, Paul. Hi Paul Ok here are some estimates for the above 2700mm ceilings - 2740mm to ground floor only 6350 Ducted Glass canopy range-hood. - ducting is about $500 Tiled Recess to showers in both the bathroom and ensuite - $970 Enviroseal wall wrap - last we checked special was $800 Feature wall painting to Media room. (one wall only). Terracotta roof tiles (Nouveau) and sarking (if required). 2 x whirlybirds 4 x snap vents to eaves triple stacker sliding doors - we got 2 for $4369 water line to fridge space for ice-maker? - $250 sound proofing to home theater? extend the front of the garage to the same line as the master bedroom - extended garage width by 900mm $5845 Hope this helps Cheers Dani viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46741 Clovelly - Masterton Homes 5% to M 290312 CDC 21/06 20 days 29/08 Slab 17/09 Frame 26/09 Bricks 24/10 Roof tiles 20/11 Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 2431Feb 09, 2012 9:22 pm dsa39 Hope this helps Cheers Dani Thanks Dani. I appreciate the info. I didnt realise the triple stacker doors were that expensive. And I actually thought the 2700mm high ceilings would be more so it kind of balances. Will be interesting to see my 1st tender when it comes in. All I can do at the moment is try and guesstimate as to the costs so the info you have provided helps. Thanks again.

Hey Paul I should have mentioned these stacker doors meet at right angles and lead to the alfresco so u can open right up so probably more expensive I have an old tender from last year I'll dig it out for u see if I can find more prices Keep in mind we are building a split level so area they are quoting on will be slightly different Good luck Cheers dani viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46741 Clovelly - Masterton Homes 5% to M 290312 CDC 21/06 20 days 29/08 Slab 17/09 Frame 26/09 Bricks 24/10 Roof tiles 20/11 Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 2434Feb 09, 2012 10:46 pm dsa39 Good luck Cheers dani Hopefully mine will be cheaper as it is on 1 wall and opens on the same tracks etc... Thanks again jamesm_79 I may be wrong but I think M has a current promo where the Mansion Package is free because of Jim's birthday..... Cause Jim wouldn't have it any other way! I was in a M sales office last weekend and grabbed a hand full of brochures and the latest promo is the free "Gold Mansion package" to celebrate 50 years of Masterton. The only real difference I spotted was the 20mm Stone bench tops to the bathroom and ensuite. Thats about it really. I opted for the previous promotion which is: Mansion package ($4,990) + Ducted AC ($5,990) + 12sqm Alfresco with slab (Free) which I think is one of the best deals they've had for a while now. Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 2436Feb 12, 2012 10:21 am I heard Masterton have layed off most of their Canberra staff, and the new office is not that old. Are they downsizing, or maybe they will be running it from Sydney again. Hope not!! Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 2438Feb 15, 2012 1:42 pm I am looking to build the Symphony but I have heard that the whole building process is extremely stressful, with the whole colour, materials selections happening over a short amount of time. I am a pretty busy person, having to go interstate for business. Does anyone know where the location of the studios where we need to make our selections eg kitchen, bathroom etc? And how much time we get to make those selections? I need to know what I am getting myself into in regards to time and effort for building (vs just buying another home).
