What a day!! It would so far be the worst day since we started our journey.
Firstly 9.30am Tiles & Carpet Selection @ Di Lorenzo, i had pretty much decided to go with the same colour scheme as the display Entertainer @ Kellyville until the cost of the first floor tile was $100 per square so i picked the closest matching from the builders range...Bathrooms were pretty similar, same problem with the floor tile however i did get my Italian imported Glass Mosaics on the shower wall in the main bathroom and ensuite. YAY!! Then on to the carpet, well as i'm building with my partner and my mother my choice was thrown out the window straight away @ $14 per square over our allowance, i gave in to a no win situation and settled for their selection although the right price i really don't like it!!
Next, 11.30am Electrical and the headache became my worst nightmare!!! After 2hrs our lighting and electrical bill came in at just under $15,000, thats right $15,000....I never in my wildest dreams expected that. Well we only have five days to make any changes so i better get to it.

WOW $15,000 extra for electrical!!! Are you getting lots of downlights as they can quickly add up or cabling for home theatre?
ReplyDeleteWe have not done ours yet so don't know what nasty surprises we will get!
sounds like your tile selection was easier on the$$$.
We have our kitchen appointment tomorrow & I am expecting that to cost extra!
Good luck with it all

Hi Loretta
ReplyDeleteWe have 79 energy saving downlights heaps of extra powerpoints and cabling for 3 flat screens,
smoke detectors linked up etc...I only spent about $1200 on tiles including my mosaics and kitchen splashback, could of been worse my quote for glass kitchen splashback was $2300 before labour and they won't finish it until after handover..sounded a bit dodgy to me so i took it out.
Good Luck with youe appointments!!
Hi Brooke,
ReplyDeleteHave you had your kitchen appointment as yet? This was the killer for us, as we made the size of our kitchen bigger in the original tender. We where hit with an additional $12K, and this was not for polyurethane, or stone bench tops!
Good luck with the remainder of the process.
Cheers,
CMET
Hi
ReplyDeleteWe have our electrical and tiles appointments in a couple of weeks and am now dreading it as I have seen what extra you can pay. We still haven't had the quote for the colours extras. By the way we are also building an Entertainer 35.

Hi CMET,
ReplyDeleteYeah i didn't spend to much at the kitchen appt approx $2000, would of been more than double that if i didn't take out the glass splashback.
Good Luck to you too!!!!
