NuCaprice 29 Floor Plans

Back to the start of our home building journey

After visiting many display homes in 2012 we decided that Provincial Homes’ NuCaprice ticked all of the boxes – narrow back to fit our block, brick built, living area downstairs with a lovely open plan kitchen, a pleasant façade without spending an additional 20k, plus a decent sized balcony off the upstairs living area to make the most of the sea breezes! 

 

NuCaprice Display Home

The office was just about to close for Christmas so we waited until the New Year and paid our deposit 19/01/2013. We then finalised our plans, adding a shower to the downstairs powder, an extra window to the sitting room and stacker doors to kitchen/meals area. The shower downstairs had a pleasent side effect when we realised that our hallway was now wide enough for a study nook. Yay! These plans took a few weeks to get drawn and then our revised tender was signed 25/02/2013. Once we received the final costing and drawings we signed the building contract 14/03/2013.

 

The Monster in our yard

We hardly moved our stuff out before this monster turned up in our front yard!

Austral Civil gave us the best price so we chose them and so far we're very happy. It will take a few days to remove the fibro and then this machine will finish up.

A few hours later our house is already looking a wee bit drafty. No changing our mind on this house!

For anyone looking at demolishing there are a few additional costs that aren't included on the quotes. Disconnecting gas takes a few weeks to organise and will set you back around $900 Disconnecting the electricity costs around $250. Fences and portaloos also are not included. Apparently some builders will drop these by early but Provincial Homes isn't one of them...

This is it!

Our little beach shack has been our home for 6 years but tomorrow it’s being demolished.  

On the roof of our house saying farewell

 We have decided to knock down and rebuild a NuCaprice with Provincial Homes.
