Tender

As we are building in the East we had our tender appointment at Narre Warren with Sue. She was lovely and very helpful. At the tender we needed to make any structrual changes, as after the tender it was too late. I think they start ordering things and getting things sorted from this point.

The structrual changes we made were very minor. We added a door from the master bedroom into the ensuite... who  wouldn't want a door here, noise, light, smells would all come through. We also added a door to the theatre room. As well as a door from the main living are to the 'kids' zone.

We also filled in the void between the study and the entrance hall. That way it is a usable wall now.

Tender took quite a while. We were there for about 4 hours, which included a 45 min break whilst the did the costings etc.

We also added an upgraded central heater, though ill go into the upgrades and costs in a later blog.

From the tender there is the colour/electrical/tiles appointment, then the final contract then one last trip to Melb for a final sign off on diagrams.

all up there are 4 trips to Porter Davis after you have signed at the display house. Just bear that in mind, the trip for us for the colours etc appointment was a 6 hour return trip, and the other ones are about a 5 hour return trip. Make sure you have enough time to make these appointments, as they have to happen, you get no choice. It is worth it though, you can find all the mistakes before building, which is a good thing :)
