First meeting with Head Office

And so we had to wait for this long to have this meeting and today was one of a hell full-on day:

• New Home Proposal presenter from 9-12pm
• Color Selection from 1pm-4pm

So at the New Home Proposal meeting we were excited to see how the professional plan turns out because from this we can see the exact measurement whereas when we hand drawn with a ruler the scale might be not as accurate. As we got excited to see the plan it turns out that they had the incorrect plan drawn! In the latest re-designed plan we had the fridge, WIL and the pantry in different area and so we had to go through with the presenter and had to hand drawn the plan again for a re-done. During this meeting we also made some slight changes:

Added:

• 2 extra awning windows at Master Suites
• Cavity sliding door to WIR in Master Suite
• Bulk heads to Living and Media
• Plaster niche to Entry and Dining
• Tiled niches to Ensuite and Bathroom
• Moved the windows positions in Bed 2 and 4

With these changes, it going to take couple of weeks for the plan to be re-done and so for an updated Tender to include the above extras.

For the Tender 1 presented to us today came to a figure that we thought it would be at our very maximum that we could spend. The standard building cost was actually increased by $6,500 since our first quote 3 months ago and with new price the air conditioning now included (instead of half price), 40mm grand island kitchen bench top (instead of 20mm) and also comes with a cold point connection to the fridge. Now we just going to take the Tender home to review and advise what we want to add or remove for the next Tender.

Color Selection Meeting - prior to this we visited Cosham Studio to see their range so we had some idea what we wanted. At the meeting she asked a much more detailed questions and gave us some advice which we never thought of so it assisted us to make the 'right' decision. The meeting goes for nearly 2 hours which was supposed to be 3 hours. We glad we came well prepared else we could have stayed for another hour. We added in a couple of upgrades just hope it won't be a massive increase to the Tender. The big day is over and here are the color selection we chosen.
