OMG! OMG! Not only did engineering come in this morning but we have our site costs and final total cost! Site costs including 55 screw piles and the retaining wall (re-engineered with steel and hardwood) came in just under 31k! We are over the moon!

We should have stuck with the 35k provisional then we could have already had finance ready and I could have put the extra towards curtains . Unfortunately we felt we couldn't take the risk when the display came in higher.
