Made a home selection with Clarendon

After looking at a no of plans, we decided to build with Clarendon. Loved their display homes. So it was time to speak with their sales rep. Did an initial cost analysis and found the home that we have selected nearly within our budget and took the floor plans home to analyse and see what we can modify. The good thing was if you are moving internal walls they dont charge anything unless you move wet areas. Looked at the plans, made some changes and met the sales rep at her office the next weekend to do some initial plan changes.

Spent around 2 hours to making rooms bigger, changing bathroom locations and converting guess room into a bedroom, making wall articulations to meet The Ponds developer requirements. Could see that the rep needed a coffee once she was done. Took the plans home. And if that was not enough, went back to sales rep to redo everything, could feel she wanted to go out and breathe fresh air after another 2 hours session. I guess the prospect of her sales commission kept her going.


With initial plans done, it was time to get them into proper drawing. Paid 1000 to proceed with drawings.

Heads up to whoever looks at the display homes and think their home would end up the same. All homes are displayed with optional extras, make sure you know whats included and what not than getting disappointed later on. To get a facade as on displays can cost you as much as 50k. So make sure you ask every thing out. We wanted to go for gallery facade but when we heard the costs we backed down to Elite, which looks nice as well and doesn't cost a fortune.
