Im fairly certain you wond be putting piers in an easment. Easments are usually for services such as sewer etc, so the likleyhood of putting piers through an easment is pretty low. Additionally, you generally need approval to build over an easment, and I suspect a garage wouldnt be easy to get approval for. This will all be determined during the planning/approval stages. As to site costs, there are too many variables to get an accurate figure. Though know if you are doing a KDRB, the costs will be higher. Sunbury from memory also has clay soils, so you can expect to pay for additiona engineering in your slab. Piers if there's been fill. My advice would be is to ensure that whoever you go with fixes your site costs. My first build had sitecosts fixed at 6k, my new build has these fixe3d at 21k. Feels like a rip, but ive seen the engineering and reports and theres a bit of work to be done. Thanks so much for the response, Sorry I should have clarified, I’m wondering if my garage which will be on the boundary need to have piers... issue is my land is not titled yet so I’m working to secure a fixed price qoute.. in a brand new estate with no history. building on a boundary doesn't inherently require piering, that will be determined by the engineers relative to the site requirements. The builder will make all necessary enquires to determine the site costs, some builders will fix these. So my advice is speak with the builders you might use, get them to do the legwork and quote you. Many at this point wont charge you anything. I had my costs quoted by Boutique and fixed before i even paid them any initial deposit. Dark matter scientist, can breathe underwater, mind reader and can freeze matter just by willing it. Trust me, its in my sig. i would suggest nothing is unreasonable for PCI. we did all sorts, including checking the hot water, checking all the GPO's had power, testing that the showers were… 9 98695 I am not sure whether Perth has its own way of doing things in regards to this. Most of Perth has class A (sandy soil), except for some areas near rivers or hills. 2 13106 Is anyone building with Mojo and have a recent site cost tender 0 15954 |
