Yep that all sounds about right. Our awesome builder tried very hard to suggest changes that would reduce the price and we did get it down to a point but not far enough. Anyway, we are writing off the $20k spent on the architect and an extra years rent than we had hoped for, and moving forwards to hopefully a more positive experience with a medium volume builder. I'm keeping in mind the comments about minimising excavation and retaining walls (as this was a big factor in the cost of our original plans) and will be kindly interrogating the plan they come up with! !! Hopefully we can move forward with a more enjoyable building experience! Give Jonathan a call. Tell him you know me. He is in my opinion the best surveyor I have ever worked with. His number is 0425 285 622 All the best Simeon 3 12422 i did click it, still couldnt make it out rofl. in any case, doesnt look like too extreme a slope, you may be in luck.
