Things are moving very quickly at this stage of the process, probably because we are clear on what we want and have been able to make some prompt decisions.
The builders have done a soil test and the results are as they expected, so there are no nasty surprises or extra $$ there thankfully. I'm sure most of the extra costs will come from our choice of fixtures and fittings.
If we are able to come to agreement on price with the builder next week, things can move as quickly as we would like them to and we can submit the plans to council as soon as the land is registered. So our pre-homework on colours, materials etc will come in handy.

The builder has given us a list of all of the aspects of the house we need to make decisions or colour selections for and the list is HUGE, which is a bit overwhelming but also makes me feel quite excited too.
Obviously we need to be diligent with our budget, but within that, we plan on having lots of fun choosing our kitchen and flooring colours etc. We have already found lots of things we love. Many are in the builder's standard range thankfully, but we will probably go for some upgrades too if we can justify them. Especially for structural things that we wouldn't be able to change after the build is completed.
We plan on having a window for our kitchen splash-back. Very much like the one in the picture below, minus the view in to the neighbour's house!

The kitchen window will be fairly close to the fence, so we'll be sure to create a nice outlook for that area when we plan the landscaping. Dad, you might be called upon for some inspiration in this regard.
The Brisbane Home Show is on this weekend so we might pop in there if we have time. We'll just need to leave our credit cards at home!
