Sunland sunland

Recently, I received a mail from Sunland (Property developer BluestoneGreen) saying that their contractors have requested another 15 days extension due to 'wet weather'. But.. why do they want to inform me about this? 15 days is nothing. Even now there is a 7 months expected delay. I don't care anymore.

Tender

We had our tender today. Few unexpected and expected site costs were there. Things like Guardrail, meterial handling charges due to limited site access and some counsil requirement will add absolutely no value to the house. For the moment this is arround $6000 :). Still costs for rock removal and possible H class slab yet to come.

Since Sunland is not going to release the land until December we might have to pay additional $3500 to Carlisle (this is based on April price list).

But still we are within our budget. Thats the positive side about it.

Different facades

Montrose comes with few different facades. Two free ones. Others you have to pay. Carlisle didn't have computer generated images of any of these facades. However sales person provided us a list of already built houses. So we did bit of a research. Btw: if the owners of these houses want to remove their pictures from my blog please let me know.

Soho: Expensive and we thought too much timber in the facade (probably high maintenance).

Waterview: Relatively inexpensive. Looks like a common design. But nice.

Villina: Expensive. A contemporary design

Verona: Expensive again.

All these facades come with very little or no rendering. So you have to pay on top of the facade price tag.

Montrose 32


Hi all,
We are planing to build our new home with Carlisle Homes. We picked Montrose 32 design.

We have already bought the land in Bluestonegreen (Still it is quite affordable over there).

Here is the floor plan: pdf
