Our Custom Build - Berowra Heights NSW

Finally! We are signed off and being handed over to Construction. There's one last Variation to view which is the upgrade to the Entry Door and the Garage Door, however, these will not affect the transition into construction phase.  

We are in the home stretch now for Selections. Have received the External Colour Selections Schedule to review and approve.

We knew going into this that building on a slope was going to be expensive. The cost of the retaining wall to support the build is in, and its not pretty. A touch under $35K OUCH!!!! It is what it is, and needs to occur otherwise the build just isn't going to happen.  

After what turned into a long drawn out process, we have finally completed and signed off on our selections. The next phase is Contracts and Construction Drawings.  

After some tense words with the builder about their preferred landscape and pool provider, I've finally got them to agree to a site visit on Monday 16/5/22.  The wall needs to be done in sequence with the build, so its crucial the landscaper understands the challenges the sloping site presents and provides accurate costings.  The pool will be done after handover but needs to be scoped out now as it will be integrated with the wall and the house.     

We received the quote back for the Tiles / Carpet / Timber Flooring. All came in under our allocated budget so we approved the quote and locked it in. One step closer to completing the selections process.   

Completed the Home Theater Appointment yesterday 13/5/2022, and signed off on the Electrical Plan. Came in a little over what we budgeted for, but the design is solid and shouldn't need modifying for some time.

The revised plans finally  came back and we are happy with them.  Kitchen Cooktop Run and the both side of the Island We took a heap of cabinets out of the Butlers Pantry and will be doing these after handover. Downstairs Powder Room and Guest En-suite We didn't need to change anything in the Laundry Main Bathroom and Master En-suite
