Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Dec 05, 2008 11:41 pm Hello,
As most of you are aware that provisions for site cost or rock removals are very daunting as it is unknown. So I thought I start this topic to help people such as myself who are new to the building process to understand whether the builders quotes for site cost provision and rock removal provisions are within the quoted range or it is far off. I would like to ask people who had built or are currently in the construction stage to share their experience regarding their provision for site costs, rock removal provisions or if they had fixed site costs including rock removal . Could you share the following information: 1. What amount was allowed for your site cost provision, rock removal provision or fixed site costs? 2. Who was the builder? 3. Which estate or region you built or building in? 4. Did you hit rocks, if so how many cubic metres ( if known )? 5. What was the difference between the actual cost and the provisions e.g was the actual cost lesser than the provisions or over the provisions, and why? Thanks in advance for those who share their informations. Re: Builders provisions how close?? 2Dec 06, 2008 8:28 am hi,

Re: Builders provisions how close?? 3Dec 06, 2008 10:27 am Ohhh one of my favourite subjects at the moment....ROCKS! Our plumbers have just given up and our supervisor needs to find a new one because they said it was just to hard!
Your builder will give you as close as estimate as they possibly can, but as I've mentioned on other posts, neither they nor you have xray vision and could ever accuratly quanity the amount. Eg. - our soil test had no rock on it, but we have hit ******* loads of rock. It wont be until the subbies invoices are in that i will find out what it will cost.
