I know no one can give me a precise price rise figure but do you know by approximately how much difference was the final price to the tender price? 2K, 3K, 5-8K?
Pipphen,
The final price can vary a lot from the base price depending on a lot of factors. In our case Masterton included all the possible options in our first tender, including platinum finishes, driveway, alfresco concrete etc. We deleted a lot of this to reduce the price. These are items you have control over. Then there are the items you do not have control over like council OSD (for some people 18K hole in the ground). Hitting rock when excavating (who knows how much).
In our case we went well over 90days mainly due to council but also because it took Masterton a long time to even submit to council. Anyway our additional cost due to going over the 90 days was approx 2K.
