I'm $125k over my estimate
Wish I could. I was there a few weeks ago when the builder I previously used came in $150k over their original estimate.
Have you received quotes from many builders? Perhaps someone else can recommend a WA builder for you? Sorry I don't have any contacts there.
Don't mean to hijack the thread, but saved another $50k today! Another great day at the office! QLD laws were just changed so I no longer need rain water tanks or solar hot water! http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/2013/02/14/08/01/qld-dumps-green-home-laws

Before a building boom hits
For my first development I went to 15 different builders to finally get the right price, quality and timeframe for the build. I knew what I wanted and just shopped around until I found it.
I was getting quotes between $500k and $780k, with build timeframes between 3 and 7 months. Amazing the difference between builders doing the same job to the same specs.
if they still have a hard time with the price, remember there may be some details theyre not 100% sure about.
if they need some sections to sure up their costings, just tell them to draw where they want and ill draw it up.
i have a few other decent builders up my sleeve if it becomes too much, but i know inspired will do a good job.
can you please send me the price for comparison's sake? i might be able to make some changes and discuss with vas about some measures.
Oh and big news. I was driving to Mt Lawley to play poker last night and decided to drop by the block.
Wellllllll it confirmed my thoughts that I should be able to see the city. I could definitely see city lights when I was standing on the footpath - even at my midget height. So I believe that all apartments should have at least 'city glimpses' if not perhaps 'city views' for level 3.
Other options include find someone with a truck & stand on the roof or a large ladder maybe?
I would be tempted to consider hiring a elevated work platform to determine just what exactly the potential views are from your second & third stories & in what directions. You don't want to build something only to find out that your windows / balconies aren't really lining up with your views (although if there is no flexibility in the orientation it may not be such a big issue anyway).

Something to consider West. Make allowances for really good blockout curtains. They leave the lights on in the park opposite to deter the zombies. Real pain I face Briggati and have had to get extra light blocking.
- took the washing machine stacker out of the bathroom in the 3rd level apartment (the 'penthouse' lol!) and making a cupboard laundry like this near the entrance. Something like this
up for DAC tomorrow, plans and presentation are ready.
i've even cancelled my 6pm volleyball tourney, so lets get this on!
