Structural Variations I

We had a meeting with our sales consultant yesterday to finalise all the structural variations for Forsyth 35 that we will include in our plan. I thought it was as simple as telling him what we want but turns out that he needs to put all the changes in the drawing plan already and we really need to be sure about the changes as it might incur cost if we do any more variations in future.

Good thing we were very organised and know already what we want before the meeting having done several visits to all the Forsyth display houses, scrutinised the plan closely and taken pictures of all the things that we want.

These are the things that we have finalised so far:

For facade, we will use Ludstone Facade. 

Cost $10,900

Cost: $7,436

For stairs, we will get Feng Shui Traditional Stairs Option 2 which looks like this.

First Floor

When we finished all the ground floor variations, the plan was all in red which marks the areas where we requested for variations. It was a long meeting and a lot of variations and as our sales consultant said, this is going to be a beautiful house. We didn't finish the first floor because we are waiting for confirmation if we can copy the Tarneit display of Forsyth 38 and do the Grand Ensuite variation.

The Grand Ensuite
Cost: 3,800 (to be confirmed)

The Grand Ensuite variation basically covers the following changes that we want for our master bedroom ensuite:

• Extended shower option ($1,600)
• Extended vanity bench ($806)
• Enclosed WC ($400)

On top of these, the following are also incuded:

• the vanity bench which is visible from the doorway of the master bedroom in the standard plan will be relocated to be inside the ensuite, and
• an additional free standing bath, which is what I've been wanting to add ever since, will be included (Just to  change an inset bath to a free standing bath already cost $1,200 , so this would cost so much more).

This is how the Grand Ensuite looks:

 

With this, the only thing that we will need to add in the structural variation in the shower room is the shower niche.

Shower Niche

Cost: $213

I will update this page once we receive any confirmation about the Grand Ensuite. We hope to receive positive update from our sales consultant this time as we really love this option.
