Site cost 'The Park" Helena Valley

Page 1 of 1
Is anyone building in "The Park" Helena Valley stage 3? Im just wanting to know if anyone has received there site work costs back and what it has come back as? Ive just received my site cost total and i think its a bit high compared to what the other stages have had to pay.
Hi Robacher, we are in stage one, and have completed our build. Our site costs were aprox $16500.00. We are in Goldsbrough Entrance. Further along our street site costs have risen to around $30000.00 in some cases due to reactive clay. I can message you our soil classification and engineers report if you think it might help.
Hi kellydoug, thanks for the reply. I was quoted around the $23,000 mark due to stage 1 & 2 site costs but been told stage 3 has worse soil with more clay. My block is classed S and requires a C7 slab. So it has risen to $43,000. Wouldn't mind seeing the soil report. ☺️

If your block is classed S then it should be low cost, S is the second lowest classification standing for slightly reactive site
I would get hold of the soil report to confirm it.
Yeh I've received my soil report, but wouldn't mind seeing someone else's to compare.

We were also S class soil, but required a C3 slab?? Our provisional sum was $19k.
How big is your block, and who are you building with?
Thanks for the report. Does help a bit. My block does have more clay. As the 2nd level of soil in clay
my block is also 512m2 and I do need pay extra for the bushfire regulations. I'm building with Redink aswell
