Approval & Paperwork

Well good news today, we received developers approval in the mail!!

We also received our final costings including site costs which were more than the "bugger all" costs we were imagining but what can you do????

Our final costings for the house though had so many errors in it that Mr Excel Spreadsheet AKA David is frustrated by how they get to these random figures that they begin with, that have absolutely no consistency with their last preliminary figure quoted. An email asking the question "please explain" will be on their doorstep tomorrow, but as David is working all weekend we can't get down to see them until Tuesday when he has another rostered house day off.

Until we all agree on things we cannot proceed to contract so hopefully it won't take Premier too long to get the figures together.

Alas the waiting game continues. I must be the most patient person in the world.

Great to have developers approval - now to sort the builder out!! I think site costs/slabs are the biggest rort in construction. Unfortunately, you do have to accept and budget as they come up with all sorts of answers and figures.
I know you will....check, recheck and check some more the Contract, your upgrades and plans in minute detail. Don't sign until your 100% happy. Finally that little closer, Good Luck.

we signed our final contract..and it was done in such a rush that we missed a few things here and there..

I agree with Deb..definitely make sure everything is 100% before you sign!

How exciting though :)
