Time to Start a Blog

After finally finding an adequate sized block in Edmondosn Park, having searched for well over 6 months and putting our details down on every land release in south west Sydney, we are one week away from settling on our block of land in the Village Square estate just off Camden Valley Way in Edmondson Park. What better time to start a blog about the whole building process with Ichijo (seeing as they are relatively new in Australia and there doesn't seem to be much feedback about them as a builder)

Via private sale, the block we bought  is already registered and has neighboring houses almost at completion on 2 adjoining sides, as well as a string of single story homes with people already living in them on the opposite side of the street.

Having known we wanted to build for a while now, we had visited numerous display homes and villages across Sydney.  The one builder which had caught our eye was Ichijo Energy Efficient Homes.



The modern look and feel combined with the energy efficient options made the decision to go with them a lot easier. Visiting the Luxury 34 (Now Luxury 36MK) we felt we had found a design that met our needs and had some room for growth.

The design we ended up choosing was the Luxury 36 + Alfresco (now the Luxury 38). The reason for all these name changes is that Ichijo recently changed their pricing and packaging to offer a turnkey package, rather than an a-la-carte style package.

This increases all the inclusions into the base price now however looking at the old pricing structure and the new one, where you gain some thicker bench tops, an alfresco area and other basic upgrades, you lose out on a cheaper base price and appliance sizes etc.

We ended up requesting a tender for the Luxury 38 with a few upgrade packages like Kitchen, air con, 7 star energy (Hebel walls and double glazed windows) and are now just waiting to see what comes back.
