I am very much enjoying reading your blog. The detail of what not to forget/what to consider is amazing and very helpful. We're building for the first time. We're at the plan revision stage for a double storey home with Rawson in The Ponds@ Lake's Edge.
ReplyDeleteWe found Eden Brae expensive for the double storey and they really didn't have the right house, we would have had to change so many things and it wouldn't have been right still. Be careful with Wisdom. We asked them for a tender and when they presented after 4 weeks they hadn't even gone out to the land to check for the site costs. If the land is not yet registered but access is available, you should get them to check it and commit to site cost. The last thing you want is for that to blow out. Don't think just because Eden Brae estimate site cost/saline treatment etc etc to be 'X' that Wisdom's will be the same unless you have it in writing. Just a thought. Good Luck with everything :-)
Thank you. I am doing lots of research here and hope this information will valuable for the future builders.
DeleteWith the Eden Brae we had same issue and had to make lots of changes. Sales guy said there will be more cost since we changed our floor plan lot. That was the reason we start looking for Plan B.
We went to Rawson and Wisdom and Wisdom came out with the better quality inclusion list under our budget. Rawson seems to be costly when it comes to upgrades.
But Wisdom will give estimate on site cost and that is what worries me .But according to my contour plan they said that it's very rare I am getting any major site cost .Anyway I asked them to put extra $5000 allowance for site costs .
