Our build was around $355'000, for 279m2 but it was high set. We did opt for some premium finishes not found on most homes built these days, we have 2.7m high ceilings, ducted ac, ducted vac, square set cornices, stone bench tops through out, floor to ceiling tiles in the bathrooms and wc, we also have european appliances, built in coffee machine, steam oven etc.

Based on what we spent yeah ours would have been around $230k if we had built 180m2, but you have to factor in the fact we did go double storey.
