They were nocked back until they get a slip resistant rating for the internal split stairs. Anyone else get a handover without int OCC? How long did you wait. Interim OCC obtained late yesterday full steam ahead now Re: Who is building with Beechwood 15636Aug 11, 2017 8:22 am Someone please help us out and answer our questions .

I don't think beechwood going to charge hidden Cost in the site cost. Because it's already over priced site cost in the tender. I personally don't like the beechwood kitchen layout any of the plan. So we slightly modified ours. I could give u an idea if need. If u already hit your budget, then may also need to consider few upgrades, like 40mm stone benchtop, upgrading cooktop, nice rangehood, and toilet suite, adding cupboards to laundry, anticon to colourbond roof, sound proof to master and theatre, omni lock to front door, upgrading facade, etc.. Re: Who is building with Beechwood 15638Aug 11, 2017 9:53 am Tommy_1991 Welcome!!! We have just finished gyrock stage (week 14) building in Lake Macquarie.We had fixed site cost for most of our site cost and as far as I'm aware that means they cannot go up nor do they go down,although I have read of people getting refunds at the end of their build for their site cost being cheaper but I think they had provisional allowances for the piers. The house price does include all the wiring and 1 light bayonet and 1 power point per room.(excluding appliances)You also get 2 tv points included.I will tell you though if you are maxed on your budget now you will be limited to what Beechwood have to offer.At selections they only have basic tapware,the choice of handles for cupboards were atrocious and the tiles were not much better,but if your happy with the basics then you'll be fine,That's where they get you on the upgrades.Our tile upgrades were $3000 and our carpet was $1600 as we didn't like the standard selection.Good luck hope this helps a little Re: Who is building with Beechwood 15639Aug 11, 2017 3:24 pm Budgeting wise tommy_1991. It is up to you. We have left ourselves with $80k for unseen costs and finishing. It really differs from person to person. Re: Who is building with Beechwood 15640Aug 11, 2017 9:06 pm bananahead did you deal with tile direct? We ended up with a $12,504 variation cost and we didn't do anything fancy. go upvc window frames ensure insulation under colorbond. not just sarking, lighter color roof also not sure if you have seen this viewtopic.php?t=5823 last couple of pages… 4 110592 Even if it's not being sub-divided and you want to keep it as Torrens title, you will still need to talk to a town planner or Council themselves, to see if they will allow… 1 11039 |
