Hi all,
We are planning to build a 20sq/185sqm single-story house at Ashwood, Melbourne. Our builder has provided budgeting but it has far exceeded our expectations. I am wondering if you guys can share how much is the rough cost for a house of this size? I understand that there would be a range based on the finishes but just wanted a guide to see if what I am expected to pay.
Thank you in advance!

Get a few more quotes from other builders with similar inclusions so you know where you stand. With volume builders, per SQ price should be around $1500. So you would be looking at $300-$350k mark. With boutique/custom builders, normally it starts around $2000/SQ mark. You'd be at $400-$450k.
We're building the same size house in the northern suburbs. Received quotes ranging from $240 - $550k.
I'm building 32sq home in regional Vic with quite a few upgrades.
Final contract price came in at around $400k (including site works and Reverse Cycle Heating and cooling)

That is what I figured which is why I got a shock when the quote I receive is above $500k not including site costs and the inclusions included are quite standard.

Do you mind sharing the builders you seek out?

I think pricing differs quite a bit in Melbourne. I am now considering checking semi-custom volume builders like GJ Gardner.

Do you have any recommendations for boutique/custom builders you have consulted?

I recommend SJD homes.
Been good this far.

Unfortunately they don't build in my area.
I'm in outer east Melbourne and receiving quotes about $2100-$2200 per sqm for custom builder on sloped block. I imagine should be bit less for flat block.

We spoke with all the builders that had display homes anywhere near us. From memory that included: Metricon, henley. Simmonds, porter Davis, Sherridon, Dennis family, nostra, gj Gardner, escape, boutique, 8, stroud, Burbank, Langdon. There were a few others as well, but I don't remember off the top of my head.

custom probably not. Volume, most defiantly, but spec would vary. If youre doing a knock down, there additional costs associated with that that will eat into your budget…
