Damn ... our fence has been quoted at $2200 (and that was for 60m, 15m of that just got replaced on the cheap so we'd be under $2000 now), $6k freight, $6k water/sewer, and if electricity is more than $500 I'm going to beat ETSA with a heavy blunt object - they can just string a 6m overhead line...

One interesting point about finance for these little suckers that I just got explained by our sales guy, since we were grappling with the horror of "one big payment on delivery" that banks hate with a passion ... This builder has got around it by requiring progress payments even though the...

Its SA/QLD. Rivergumhomes.com.au We just got our tender pack, 4x2 with upgrades, but they managed to miss the solar HWS they already quoted for, for $106k. It is $6k to get it delivered and $3k to insulate the floor though. Certainly all adds up, but still quite a bit cheaper than the...

I think this builder bought out a QLD builder, but the QLD branch doesn't get such good reviews as the original SA one. They are Rivergum Homes. They aren't the cheapest *or* the most expensive we looked at. Not sure where 5 days comes from. We were told 9-10 months and we are at month 4 now...

Very similar to the photo above except no carport, up higher and we haven't chosen colours yet. The floorplan on that house is the 3br on-site variant of ours, but the transportable version has exacly the same finish just on stumps, so it is higher and has steps on each door.

An FYI ... This is not my photo, but it is the style of house I am building. The photo comes from a thread where some nosy fellow is documenting all the interesting new builds in the town ... gotta love country towns!

I wouldn't render or reclad. Check out some different prefab builders - the one we are going with has a facade option with a nicer weatherboard and lots of other decorative features. They have a kind of old-fashioned QLDer type of feel and look lovely with a cottage garden. The facade upgrade...

Building one right now - finance is painful. We can't actually get preapproval for a loan so we're having to be 'creative'. Working out quite a bit cheaper than a brick veneer house for us, but then every dollar counts. People with a bigger budget probably wouldn't be so fussed at the...
