The siteworks estimates for HBC are PROVISIONAL ie no breakdown of costs is given after the soil test. Then right before the slab goes down they do a proper site survey (apparently ) and send you out the itemised costing. Our costing increased Some of ours is fixed and some still provisional....so who knows what will happen...I bet the provisional bit will probably go up too
That's really messed up hey.. I can't for the life of me figure out why there is so much difference with all the HBC people I've read about and little ol' me with celebration.
We got a itemised listing after the soil test with only a couple of understandable provisionals, and even those provisionals where what I would call realistically capped.. eg: They might say that earth works should REALISTICALLY cost say.. 4 grand.. so they'll charge you 5 grand.. if it comes in less you get the change.. if it's higher than you've already budgeted.. I hope that makes sense..
It's called PROFIT lol. I seriously believe theres something funny going on and I intend to find out what it is
