You need to pay for fire proofing as well which is not included. I guess it all depends on the size of splash back you got. Also make sure you get them to specify on the drawings where the joins are if there are 2 pieces or more. Thanks for the tip joea, i will add this to my list of questions . But this is just a allowance i guess, final pricing will be done on colour selection day. Re: Building Bermuda 23 with Porter Davis 136Oct 14, 2014 12:02 pm melvinglenncallejo just a quick question anyone here is having easement on their block?becaause we have 3meters easement on our block and PD told us to reduced 520mm on kitchen,alfresco and living area they said that it is the council regulation.thank you We realised this when we went to sign our initial contract with PD, we were very upset with them. This is because of Facade we have chosen. Riva would be the best because you will only take out 17cms with Frendale its 50cms. If you are reducing dont take the whole thing off your living, thats my suggestion. It will make a huge impact on dining are. We decided to take 25cms off living and alfresco and 25 cms through Garage and WIR. Which we thought will be less noticeable. Re: Building Bermuda 23 with Porter Davis 137Oct 14, 2014 12:06 pm melvinglenncallejo they said that they need to upgrade the slab its beacause of the type of soil we got, i need to check when i get home katemorley91 because im still at work,our final contract is 234,800 which is a bit high,were building in allura estate in truganina which estate are you building?thank you Standard slab is Class M, most places you build in Melbourne will be type H or Type P. You will need to upgrade slab anyway. From my research Site costs in Allura is around 10K to 12K for a 23 to 24 Sq house, unless there is serious issues with the block (like a boulder or too steep and requires retaining wall). Re: Building Bermuda 23 with Porter Davis 138Oct 14, 2014 12:10 pm abhi517 emily05 Hi abhi, Did they tell you that the Griffith facade is not actually rendered like the one in the picture. I found that out after my house has been rendered. Fairly annoyed. Hi emily05 Yes Facade is not rendered as in Picture, its all brick work. Paying on top of 5K for render is very annoying. I din read your post properly Yes they told us it is not rendered when we choose the fasade Re: Building Bermuda 23 with Porter Davis 139Oct 14, 2014 3:23 pm hi our site cost that was written in the contract is 19,500, hmpppp, did you pay for bushfire levy? we did and its additional cost for us like 5k Re: Building Bermuda 23 with Porter Davis 140Oct 14, 2014 3:26 pm Yessss we paid bushfire levy too not happy about the price but always good to have those extras on the house. ours is at $17,500 estimated at the moment Built the Bermuda with Porter Davis No idea about the driveway question, but your price for a house that size including landscaping seems very good! 1 22251 No, not yet. It’s currently being assessed by our building surveyor 4 19502 With that sort of soil type if you ask for a design to include piers then I would also include void formers. That way you should reduce the chances of settlement and heave. 7 19982 |
