Tender Appointment Cancelled Today

I was supposed to work night shift last night and Elmer was on duty today, but we made arrangements and swapped our scheduled to attend our Tender appointment today. After all these, we were informed by our BC 2 days ago that they're not ready for our appointment as they don't have the engineering and soil yet :-(

I actually prefer to do our tender appointment at a later date as I have been telling our BC, I don't have the costs for a lot of big items yet such as:

• Site Cost
• 6 Star Energy Rating
• Bushfire Attack Level (BAL)
• Grand Master Ensuite
• Upgrade of timber laminate flooring from Cat 1 to Cat 3
• Confirmation of structural variations cost

I budgeted $25K for site cost, $6.5K for BAL, $6K for 6 star energy rating, $5K for timber floor upgrade and $3.9K for the grand master ensuite. These items alone has an estimate of $46,400 so most of our upgrades budget are tied up here. 

Our BC told us that we can't change anything after tender and as I was telling her, we will be leaving a lot of upgrades that we like if we go through our tender appointment  without knowing the costs above. I think it's in our favour that the cancellation of our appointment was initiated by PD rather than us so if there's any delay in our site start we can request to waive the late site start fee :-) 

Hopefully, with this delay will give them time to give us proper costings and we can also talk to our mortgage broker to increase our loan amount :-)

Cheers!
