The forum sure is an invaluable resource... we've benefited greatly from other peoples experience/advice and where our experience might help others I try to pay something back. parra_kdr, I checked our contract and the cost to raise the slab was $24,875. We required additional fill, piering and drop edge beams around three sides of the house. Hi Rob, can I ask you if your new house Slab is higher than your neighbor's property for your new build? My neighbor on my left did KDR 13 years ago, we are both on flood overflow path, I designed house the same level as theirs, hopefully, it will be ok.my build is at 8.25m height, if I need to increase by 0.4m, it will be a nightmare for me. property was under Hornsby council but it's with paramatta now. We have a fall of about 300 to 400 mm from left to right across our property. The floor level of the neighbour on the left is higher than us and the floor level of the neighbour on the right is lower. Unfortunately I'm not sure that will help you with your situation as both our neighbours houses were built about 50 years ago... long before Councils worried so much about overland flow paths like they do these days. Yes it had a house on it. But Melbourne water only wanted something the original size of the existing house. We managed to fit a 45sq house on. 10 33654 Give Jonathan a call. Tell him you know me.
