Welcome to our blog of building our new house.
We have chosen Masterton Homes as our builder with Santorini Mk2 Option 2 design, having the Contemporary façade.
We had looked around for home designs, including Clarendon Homes and Metricon etc, but Masterton designs had the most practical and logical layouts, with minimal changes to the design. Santorini was a good choice.
We visited Masterton Homes at Warrick Farm and physically looked the homes in real life to see how it feels standing and sitting in one. We probably will be revisiting the home several more times in the next few weeks to get better feel and decide on changes to the standard options.
Ground floor having tiles I think is the best choice for us to minimise any dust/allergy issues with having carpets. Upstairs, laminated timber floors (except wet areas). The only carpet is the stairs.
We have had our first meeting with the sales rep few weeks back to help us decide and come back with a quote.
Our second meeting was few days ago, going over the first quote and changing, adding or removing options.
We have now paid our $3500 deposit (non-refundable) to get the initial plan drawn.
While waiting for the plans, we now have to meet with our colour co-ordinator to help us choose the exterior and interior colour scheme, possibly our ground floor tiles, kitchen, bathroom and toilets etc.
Our plan is to start the ball rolling by end of next week (end of March 2012).
Cheers!
