Tender

Our tender appointment went ahead today at Porter Davis HQ in Port Melbourne. It was excruciating waiting for the soil test results and slowly going through the contract reading when all you really want to do is tear to the very last page to check the end figure. In our case we breathed a sigh of relief and everything was okay, no nasty shocks and we even deleted a few things that for some reason made their way in there (brick infill over garage, actually why isn't this standard? The homes we built in NSW had brick infill over the garage as a standard and should really be nation wide). We didn't make many structural changes to the house, just a niche in the main bathroom shower, double doors to the study and theatre and sliding door closets to bedrooms 3 & 4 to maximize the use of space. Oh and we deleted the sliding door in the media room and put a fairly adequate window in there instead as we already had a sliding door in the dining room. Tile, colour and electrical appointments have been made and i don't know how i'll fare with sticking to our budget..
