Step 2 Discuss your new home Tender

On Thursday 17th Sept we met with our salesman at Heyward Bay to discuss our Tender and the accurate estimates so far for the changes we asked for.
It was a constructive discussion and we learnt much.
1 We found that the $13,100 for the grand Alfresco does not include the Slab which costs a further $3530
2. The extension to the garage from 5.6m to 6.0m ( most councils - well common sense suggests a miimimum of 5.8m so you can open car5 doors once two cars in garage ) costs an additional $3300 which allows for extra bricks, frame and roof and tiles.
3. Additional "Council" costs roughly given at Step 1 of our process as $10,000 and includes the upgrade from M type slab to H slab - required in the majority of sites came in at $8700

What is interesting and worth noting at this stage are the following:
The Client is responsible for and to pay if damage occurs by clarendon to any existing fences / pipes.
Clarendon may say that roof pitch may need to go down from 28degrees to 22.5degrees saying this due to council pitch mx of 8.0 m but it's actually a mx of 8.5m I believe.
Even though we paid for the Chic upgrade, this doesn't include changing the standard wardrobe from glass sliding doors to normal doors, that costs extra.
We also received a copy of the geotechnical report on the land.

We signed the paperwork and signed a cheque for $4000 to proceed.
