Comdain quoted me the starting point is from $17500 per sq, while Eglehart start from $20000 per sq. Metrixxx got Monarch display along Belmore Rd, Balwyn; 58 sq with many upgrade quoted $930,000. We do like to the space and design; still await for Glenvill's sketch and estimate, they would be more expensive. How did you go with your building process? Are you happy with the builder and their quality? If yes, we would like to know. I have seen many complaints against those builders, perhap that no many owners share their hapiness. It is also depends who is the site supervisor. Good luck to you. Gary Re: French provincial style 18Aug 28, 2012 10:22 am Hi gwu69, Have you tried Ravida? http://www.ravida.com.au/luxury-homes.html They have some gorgeous FP style homes, and I remember one going up on Wattletree Rd in Malvern a few years back. Although being custom design they would be pricey. It was my dream to have a FP style home, but it would have looked odd on my block in amongst 1960's brick veneers, so I had to compromise. Next time...maybe! Good luck! Henley - Wilshire Mk 3 ... I love my house!!

Our FP is going to look a bit odd in our setting too but I don't care. It appeals to us more than the modern more brutalist style that most new houses feature. Gary, we are paying $17,600 per square but we require some extras that will add about $5000 extra. Re: French provincial style 20Aug 28, 2012 2:37 pm We all like provincial style as it would last for decades, but mixed with brick might bring close with our neighborhood. http://www.comdainhomes.com.au/galleries/nth-balwyn.html This is Comdain's style we also like to have. However, We could not keep up with provincial interior due to the cost; we should keep in simple and more practical with energized young childs. Metri#on's provincial facade on its Monarch or Lindrum is another choice if we want to keep in line with the budget. We have to keep in mind that landscaping and other furniture would add in more dollars. Suze, are you happy with the builder and do you have any past works he has done? Thanks, Stormy. I would love to have Ravida's work, but definitely out of our reach. The Dulux colour consultants are awesome. If you show them the photos they should be able to figure it out for you straight away 1 1608 |
