Try Comdain or Englehart Homes, neither is cheap but both deliver quality and yes they build in Eastern suburbs. Both are custom builders and can build to your spec. I'm not a big fan of L37, premium pricing, budget builder quality.

May 16, 2018 2:28 pm
Hi All, I am trying to determine whether or not to move or rebuild. One aspect of rebuilding is the site costs. I would like to seek your advice, including from people whom have also built in Keysborough to determine: 1. What types of costs are deemed site costs? 2. How much have people paid for si...

P doesn’t mean anything. It just means there’s something ‘special’ about the site such as a KDR or large trees etc. there should be another rating for the underlying soil (S, M, H etc). The slab engineer will look at all the factors including the reasons why it’s classified P and the underlying soil...

What did you pick? The jump between prelim quote and final seems a tad ridiculous. Does it include upgraded site costs?

Be aware that timber is not maintenance a free product and does require staining especially the weather exposed stuff.

Definitely do not accept this. All your points are perfectly valid. Make a fuss about it with Metricon. Squeaky wheel gets the grease. Looks like they stuffed up the dimensions to me.

Not building with Metricon but there should be a detailed section in your plans that talks about this. Mine specifically says it’s flush with window head. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180121/0c711980392d27a9f7483ac8e8abbb7f.jpg

Post your soil report. The way I understand it is that these days, some of these "waffle pod" slabs are really suspended slabs which can withstand very bad soil. The "waffle pod" of the old is truly rubbish. Also P class could mean anything. It also means your builder will need t...

Garage Wall - Straight Brick or Timber Frame?

Nov 10, 2017 7:57 pm
I have noticed that most houses built these days (at least in Victoria) are built entirely out of timber framing with choice of masonry outside including the garage. I just noticed with the house that I'm building that the external walls of the garage is brick only with 5 double brick pillars along ...

Par for the course for major project builders. The site cost is a nice way to pad margin and of course it’s completely overpriced. I have a M class soil on a P class site being KDR and I was charged an extra $4k in site cost and that’s for a stiffened raft slab.

Well if your friend has real wood floor then that’s expected. If they have laminate, it’s possible although not common to glue down the planks to solve the squeaky floor problem. Reason why laminate don’t usually do this is because it’s usually a budget product and you want to reduce your labour cos...

Real wooden floors are glued down to the subfloor so nothing moves. Laminate can be floating floors with nothing tying them down other the interlock grooves between each plank. As they expand and contract with heat, these floors can get a bit tight and cause friction between each plank hence you wil...

If you have 2 different roof systems (i.e. tiled and colorbond) on the same house, make sure your gutter for each roof type matches the colour of the roof. We had gutter colour as "monument" to match the tiled roof but we also have a section of colorbond flat roof with box gutter, had to p...

Thanks Sam, That's good to hear that you are getting some progress with your build. 57K site cost doesn't seem that excessive. Mine was around 60K from memory and I don't think it was the highest grade slab either. My block is fairly flat. Pity about not being able to use hebel. I think hebel migh ...
What was your soil grade and what did they end up choosing for the slab design?

Thanks all. Isn't it funny how they don't tell you that part!! What a rip off The price might be but makes little sense to make any thicker than 20mm as the stone is very heavy. If you have a look at real marble tables, same story, it has an edge profile but folds in under the table. Even then it s...
