Sounds awful. I love the Crown 35, and their standard inclusions ----> but it certainly doesn't sound like an experience you'd expect from a smaller builder Building a Madison 45 with Porter Davis Madison 45 Blog (Send me a PM with your email address to be added) Re: Considering Carter Grange Homes, any info? 17Apr 01, 2015 8:30 am Hi there, we have currently put a deposit down with a different volume builder but are considering jumping ship and going with Carter Grange. ERs Custom Home - would you be happy to share what extras you chose for your home and their cost? Whilst with other volume builders there's pages and pages on itemized extras and costs on this forum, there is very little if nothing on CG... Re: Considering Carter Grange Homes, any info? 18May 08, 2015 10:48 am Romaxx: I'd be happy to share what we chose as our 'Selections' upgrades with a total costs but I'm not sure if I can list the individual pricing as I'm sure CG would not be impressed and the prices may vary depending on what you choose and when you are building with them. There is a long list but our total came to roughly $16.7k (this excludes the integrated dishwasher, cabinetry, benchtops and tile upgrades as they are priced separately):
Solid front doors (different to the standard) Privacy sets to internal doors (bathrooms and master) Symphony feature cornice profile throughout (exclusing bathrooms) Crystaltec semi-frameless pivot shower screens Installation for non-standard oven Rangehood including overhead cabinet in lieu of standard rangehood. Villeroy & Boch above counter basins to bathrooms Phoenix shower mixer, Vivid shower, Vivid lever wall sink, Vivid lever wall top and Vivid 230mm round rose with 300mm long ceiling Decina Duo Contour spa bath and Carina bath Stainless Steel balusters with black powder coating for stairs R2.5 soundscreen batts for one wall Stained finish to the Front Entry and clear varnish/stained finish to the Front Entry door Diesel Group solid Spotted Gum flooring Platinum Range carpet with Springtred Ultimate underlay I hope this helps Our Sperway Homes Custom Build: http://sperwayhomescustom.blogspot.com.au/ Our Carter Grange Custom Home: http://cartergrangecustom50.blogspot.com.au Re: Considering Carter Grange Homes, any info? 19Jun 27, 2015 2:56 pm Hi ERs Custom Home, I was following your blog passionately and came to know you moved to someone else. We are also in the process of selecting custom builder and finding it a daunting process to find genuine one's. We were planning to have first meeting with CG next week but I'm worried now. Would you be happy to share your experience or willing to share your new builder experience or PM me incase you don't want to disclose at this moment. Re: Considering Carter Grange Homes, any info? 20Jul 07, 2015 11:29 am rubix Would you be happy to share your experience or willing to share your new builder experience or PM me incase you don't want to disclose at this moment. Hi Rubix, I have sent you a PM with the details so hopefully you can get some competitive views as you begin the process. So far, we have been extremely happy with the quote and contract phase as our sales manager is brilliant and the drafts and permits team have called me at least once a week since we signed to give me updates on admin progress internally and with the council. Our selections meeting was super easy and we walked away very excited - we didn't need to upgrade anything as it was all discussed at the contract stage so we got the high level we agreed to at the beginning without any extra cost. We are really relieved we walked away from CG in the end but I would strongly suggest you still go ahead with your initial meetings with CG so that you get an idea of what your options are.
