A builder visiting

A quick post today! I had a builder come and visit today. Lovely guy, very friendly and talkative. He thought the plans were good (great start!). He thought that there were a few things that could be changed to make the build cheaper (even better because we agree!). As we talked about the build, I learnt a few things:

- freeform stone work would cost around $250 per square metre (ouch! That's gone!!)
- already knew louvres were the most expensive kind of window, but 3 grand for one set! Double ouch!
Overall, his advice aligned with many of my thoughts on saving money so I am pretty happy and will look forward to the quote being finished.
