Our site costs were $26k over the standard but that also included extra charges for being a battle axe block. http://bellaviabuild.wordpress.com Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 15282Jun 28, 2016 3:18 pm KLB We have a side slope, well really it's a diagonal slope! Our site costs were $26k over the standard but that also included extra charges for being a battle axe block. http://bellaviabuild.wordpress.com Hi KLB, What is a battle axe block? Our block drops from front left to bottom right by a meter, so I am worried that we will need to pay an extra 26k as well. We are on a corner block so I am thinking access should not be a problem. Cheers Lydds Building Boston 36 Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 15283Jun 28, 2016 3:37 pm A battle axe block is a block behind other blocks with access to the street via a driveway. That means more difficult access, more fencing, longer distance to run services etc. Have you got your tender yet or is that just an estimate? http://bellaviabuild.wordpress.com Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 15284Jun 28, 2016 4:20 pm They have just provides us with an estimate, they can't give us a tender until the land is released. So we just have to wait, it's held up at council. Cheers Lydds Building Boston 36 Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 15285Jun 28, 2016 7:42 pm Wondering what are the pros and cons of each Clarendon facade. We are comparing chilsohm vs axis vs Oxford. I quite like Chilsohm but there are at least 3 other houses with that facade on the street. So Axis is the next best but I am not sure if cladding will look dated if we don't render the facade. Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 15287Jun 28, 2016 8:27 pm Hi k3nnis, do you have a photo that you can share? Did it cost extra? Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 15288Jun 28, 2016 8:31 pm k3nnis, we are getting the axis facade for our house. Do you know if they wanted an arm and a leg for cladding?
