I'm currently building in stage 14 in aston craigieburn.would love to know anyone building there.what stage r u.which builders u used and what were Ur site costs. Looking forward to Ur replies Re: Anyone building in stage 14 aston craigieburn 2Mar 12, 2015 12:30 am Im in stage 13 an building now. I am using pvt builder and site cost is really a gamble(fixed or otherwise). My next lot guy got his site classified as P and site cost expected to be 18K . He had massive rocks though. While my site is H (as per Soil test) the builder recommended me to go with allowance and not fixed cost. This way you can never really be sure what site cost could be unless builder fixes it. As per Aston, if you can get it fixed around 12K mark , i would call it fair gamble. Re: Anyone building in stage 14 aston craigieburn 3Mar 16, 2015 3:46 pm Thanks for replying. My block also had lot of rocks.my land also classified as H class which my private builder is already covering in base price.I haven't received a bill for rock excavation though. Was rock removal included in $ 18000 with site costs. I'm expecting rock removal to be around 7 to 10 k. How big is Ur block and who r u building with. Thanx Re: Anyone building in stage 14 aston craigieburn 4Apr 20, 2015 1:42 pm Hi eques how u going . Hope Ur build is going well. Did u get your site costs.I got mine as my block had lot of rocks. It's around 19k .I think it's too much . I did see they dig out two big piles of rocks. I wast expecting that much though. Which builder r u building with . hope for me it's end of any other shocks .

Exciting times... Congrats mate. Re: Anyone building in stage 14 aston craigieburn 14Aug 22, 2015 10:07 pm Thanks . Handover delayed a week. Not happy as bank had our original plans which we changed a lot after loan approval. Now bank wants to see those plans before they approve final payment Re: Anyone building in stage 14 aston craigieburn 15Aug 23, 2015 1:20 am andy1980 Thanks . Handover delayed a week.

Not unless you have managed to put it as a special condition into the contract somehow. 1 4045 The fastest thing a builder will do is bank your cheque, those systems work perfectly with lightning speed, everything else is slow burn. Just the way it is. 1 5618 1 3403 |
