We are definitely going to try and stick to standard as much as possible and upgrade down the track (if we can afford to). I read somewhere on here that it is cheaper to get standard taps for example and then upgrade after as it is cheaper to go that way that upgrade through the builder. We'll only go over (I hope) for things that aren't easy to change such as bricks, ceiling heights etc Re: Hickinbotham Build Northern Adelaide 98Jul 24, 2017 3:20 pm that's it - don't need to look at LMI and kids get the new beds they wanted instead of a cheaper substitute. that's how i approached it. electrical, plumbing, cabling, structural etc done now and rest later only splurge i made was upgrading the tapware in the ensuite - justified that as better for the tiling etc to do it during construction. but main bathroom is all default selections. Also got builder to do the built in robes but that gave me nib walls to use which look nicer i think Re: Hickinbotham Build Northern Adelaide 99Jul 24, 2017 3:23 pm We are getting a nib wall and hampers for the bir and then going to look external for getting the robes made - might be worth the question as i think for same price, we can get more than just a rail in the bir Re: Hickinbotham Build Northern Adelaide 100Jul 24, 2017 3:53 pm Nawsome We are getting a nib wall and hampers for the bir and then going to look external for getting the robes made. agree and something i should have done. but didnt think about it till after selections. Would probably have been far better value but 1600 for 2 nib walls and built in robes sounded like good value to me back then - of course then have to add another 660 for upgraded shelves and drawers.
