The following is a list of items that are standard with Bundy Homes. Everything here is in our standard inclusion list, BUT can be deducted from our cost for comparisons with other builders if necessary, as many builders in the Bundaberg area do not include some or all of these items.

A new home can be built less all of these items and still comply with all levels of government regulations. So we could deduct any of these items to. This is real “Apples for Apples” stuff. These are the things some builders don’t discuss until they start building your home!

The figures below are representative of a 200m2 brick and tile / colorbond home. Please note that these figures are understated if anything.

We would prefer not to deduct any of the above, but that’s up to you. The above is calculated by still using our usual top quality tradespeople. If we shopped the jobs around to other QBSA licensed trades who are not up to our normal standard, we could easily save an additional $5,000.



We believe that the inclusions in every home need to reflect the individual needs, tastes and budget of each of our clients. The following list contains most, but not all of our standard inclusions.

We are geared up to complete your home from site investigations to fencing and landscaping, although just what we do is of course up to you. Our inclusions are generally in the middle to upper end of the cost / quality scale. For us to determine exactly what you require, it is always best to discuss the inclusions personally.
