In 5 weeks I'll actually own the land (still in the settlement period). Well actually the bank will own most of it.. but yes, I'll do what you suggested. Current owner must run a nursery or something because at the moment the land is covered in pot plants.. so probably not a good idea to go trudging around on it yet.

If you have a friend with a handheld GPS, that will also give you elevation etc. Much easier too. And yes, stay off it if they have plants, there you don't want to introduce a disease on them. Cheers Steve Re: Site costs and the split level home. 18Jun 27, 2007 11:27 am I've got a GPS in the car.. Driving down the road from one end of the block to the other shows an elevation change of 1m on the GPS. However the GPS only has a resolution of 1m. So it's somewhere between 1m and 2m drop.. hence my averaged out assumption of about 1.5m. The blocks slops down a bit from the road as well, maybe a metre or so.. but I can't drive down there without squashing a few pot plants. Re: Site costs and the split level home. 19Jun 27, 2007 11:42 am Hi Mark,
My block has an almost 2m of fall, and as a result my slab will be on 3 levels and site costs are about $45,000. Jandson were the only builders out of the others I approached at Homeworld who would build on my block! Good luck and have patience!

Jandson were the only builders out of the others I approached at Homeworld who would build on my block! Good luck and have patience! (I can highly reccomend Jandson by the way) Judging from others experiences it looks like $35,000 will be in the ballpark from me. Can I ask what home you are building with Jandson?

Most of Perth has class A (sandy soil), except for some areas near rivers or hills. 2 8278 Is anyone building with Mojo and have a recent site cost tender 0 12267 |
