Hi icat2000. Thanks for the suggestion and for giving me some info about your cancellation experience. Finance has been approved but siteworks has blown out which is above our budget. We asked for total costs for siteworks before land settlement but builder has provided it after.

I think the amount is overpriced but not too sure what we need to do as we want the building to start ASAP. We signed our contract in ...

I was thinking we would be up for maybe 40k at the most.. interesting to see if anyone has any comp...
