Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building in Canberra - Costs 21Nov 22, 2022 1:24 pm Thank you for responding. Our builder still keeps asking for extras whenever he wants to. It's so stressful for us as we can't keep on amending our loan approval. We are already paying extra for site cut and piers which he didn't tell us about before as he told us that our land is flat when he got us to sign the Building Contract back in 2019. He is now asking extra for the kitchen with 40 mm island bench although that's listed in his inclusions. We will end up paying $380k from $342k but seems it's still a reasonable price but too much delays and surely would have to suck up paying rent and land for the next 6 months. Our slab has just been poured yesterday since having the construction approval in Mid June this year. Re: Building in Canberra - Costs 22Jun 23, 2023 3:42 am moldeau Thank you for responding.
