Builder decided!

By having these 6 builders in mind, it's surely too much to consider.. Therefore the next step is to narrow them down to 2 or 3 builders only.. Below is a few quick step that we took to narrow them down:

• Went to each builders' display house and watch closely for the quality of their display house. If they don't really care to put a high quality display house, then quality of your future house wouldn't be much different from it...
• Asked for a rough sales quotation based on the engineering plan for the block. (Make sure the site cost and the estate covenant are included!)
• List all the inclusion and the current promotion that they currently have (if any)
• Find out whether your CSC is helpful and give you some advise by asking them a few question. This will determine your first impression of the builder
  
• Make sure the sales quotation is still within your budget!
  

After 2 whole months struggling with the builder, finally it comes to a conclusion...
The winner that catch our attention is..................

Galley 23 from PLACES HOMES

A few reason why we chose to go ahead with this builder as follows: open space floor plan, fixed site cost, pretty good display house & inclusion and pretty good customer service too (so far!)...

Finally, on the 31st of August 2008, we went to the Places Homes office to put down $1k deposit and signed a few document (all inclusion list, fixed price cost document, etc etc)
