What is missing from the Inclusions ?

Only a few builders include the base cost of their houses on their websites. Perhaps they do not want to include this key piece of information to discourage you from making a comparison simply on price. Indeed performing a comparison using base price only would indeed be misleading. At the very least you would need to consult the list of inclusions which tells you what you will actually get for you base price. 



Of course this varies from builder to builder. When analysing a list if inclusions it important to understand what has been left out. This is not as simple as it first appears. A classic example is the brickwork above windows and doors. The cheaper alternative to this brickwork is to use fibre-cement sheeting above the windows and doors. However, often the builders who include this brickwork in their base price don’t state this in their list of inclusions – forcing you to ask the question of them.
