Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building over sewer pipe in Queensland 4Jan 29, 2024 2:55 pm I think you are getting different numbers because they all just based them on "other jobs" even though each job is unique. Often, with builders, unless you're speaking to the actual builder or to an estimator, and if it's a big building company you're dealing with - almost no one else (other than estimators) and especially admin staff, will have any idea of costs nor how it actually goes together onsite. Most admins in big builders have little building knowledge or experience, they just know the company process and how to move people through them. The actual costs will completely depend on where your house is situated in relation to the sewer. Salespeople always have a "book of indicative costs" they keep from elements priced on previous jobs. They always like knowing what cost ranges to tell people so they can give "an answer" rather than "no answer" and lose face. So once out have your soil test done then locate the sewer you'll know how deep your piers will be, how many needed and can cost it up. If you have the space on your site, and you need a few piers, timber piles can be a good option as well as concrete bored piers.
