Once you get your construction certificate, you can start building. I can help you with estimating your quantities for ordering your materials =) Hmm. Those numbers look overly optimistic. In addition to drafting/architectural drawings you would have to pay for: - Contour survey - Structural engineering (usually $2K+) - Geotech - Stormwater engineering - BASIX assessment - (optionally) arborist report and landscaping plan - Council DA fees and long service levy (depends on council, but expect around $5K for both) - Private certifier ($2.5K+) So expect up to $15K of additional expenses before you are even allowed to dig (obtain your construction certificate). Re: Owner Builders-Sydney 15Jul 28, 2018 9:07 am Clarity Estimating If your draftsman has good relations with their consultant, the price can vary quite a lot. for instance surveyor would charge $1600 to the public but would charge $900 to a company. Geotech can be $1200 to public, but $750 to a company. Hydraulic plan will depend on how complex it is. Basix around $400 or you can do yourself apparently. Landscape plan your draftsman can do DA fees and levies should be separate, because it depends on the project value private certifier is around 2.5k Sure, but my main point here is that the costs will be still adding up. BTW have some questions to you regarding current fair value costs in Sydney, asked them in the neighbouring "Slab and formwork costs" topic. Thanks Re: Owner Builders-Sydney 16Aug 15, 2018 4:23 pm Hi all, I am starting to do a owner builder and have had the architect plans done and organised a private certifier. So far it has cost over $13K for all the plans engineer BASIX etc. My certifier says he needs the Owner/Builder permit to put on the NOI form but I cannot get the permit from fair trading until approval has been given? So what do we do? I thought the idea of going through a certifier was so I did not have to go through council to get a DA. Would love to hear how everyone else got theirs.
