[quote="Ezza78"]Special K, starting prices are hard to use as a guide as it depends how much you added/upgraded at initial sales app, because we'd been through process before with another builder we'd added cat 10 floor from start, floor to ceiling tiling, double glazing, timber deck, window upgrades, adding stacker doors etc. so then there wasn't too much of a jump at tender stage, but many would start with floor plan and add flooring/window upgrades etc. later on. Your better to add in as much as you can early on to avoid it jumping too much, plus with this group u could prob ask must things to get an idea of costs eg electrical, carpet, cat of stone upgrades. Arden's fantastic with everything itemised so well.
Thanks Ezz. My spreadsheet of all the costs is giving me some anxiety. Who would have thought that a house once you add in all the landscaping and finishing would be so high.
I know! I have not even thought about landscaping yet. That will be at least another 10k.
Thinking of DIY myself and watching all these vids on YouTube - i don't even have some of the tools required.
Hmm.. I've guestimated at least 50k for landscaping. Even if I do most of it myself there are just some things you need to leave to the professionals. Like electric gates or fencing.
[/quote]Omgosh yes. We have almost an acre to fence :/ im thinking fencing will be at least 10k. Will need to spend a few thousand on a rideon lawnmower too lol
