However most people relish the idea of upgrading and having everything new so unless you are really in love with your old dishwasher why would you? We were going to keep our spa - which I was in love with, having a shoulder and neck injury - but in the end we decided to sell it privately. Things like spas and pools can be selling features or not, depends on the buyers. Some don't want the hassle, the water and chemical bills, others think its a must have!! We got more money selling our spa privately.

To define a little : Block size only 500sqm building space and 250 sqm House size , single story, level block. Not everyone is gonna have a ten grand aircon and 11 grand worth of decking, but many build pools , much more fencing and retaining than me, Gazebos , carports etc. There is no interest in the figure and it occured over approx a 4-5 month period. Sometimes I may spend more than you will and other times not. I may have some stuff that was built into my contract , that may not be built into yours ( My electrical for instance by builder was extrensive - 50 lights and over 40 powerpoints , many dont get as much and add after which is normally cheaper ) Like most I also had a few freind prices , but no one knows every tradie out there. Grab a calculator if you like and add up your stuff. Dont add up ALL the crap in my list , is a depressing figure, trust me. There is no furniture or whitegoods in this list..... ( except a dishwasher but you dont bring that from your old home when moving in , cos that is theft , apparantly ? and they can ask politley for you to return it ) Finally , all of this was over 18 months ago Now. This could be hlepful,thank you.I'm looking for this too Re: New home building Cost 17Jul 17, 2012 10:59 am I used serviceseeking.com.au to get quotes. I was very impressed with how the site works. Re: New home building Cost 18Jul 17, 2012 4:05 pm Oh dear this thread is depressing when you think of the cost of just building the house in the first place :S We are going to have to do the absolute essentials only when we move in, like carpet, driveway, getting some sort of roofing over the decking and staining the deck. The rest (you know, aside from toilet roll holders and the like) will have to wait.

I've used servicecentral Re: New home building Cost 20Aug 30, 2012 2:59 pm We are moving in the spring so I have asked friends to put aside any extra garden plants they may have when 'spring cleaning' their gardens. It saves them having to throw them out, and should help me stock my garden out a little bit. ( plus save a few $$$) We already paid for somfy motors for the blinds. The quote above was purely for “pre-wiring” so the blinds company can install the motors and blinds.
