Browse Forums Building A New House Site costs sloping block 19Apr 29, 2007 5:38 pm Wow, great thread. Thanks for for providing lots of detail.
We are wanting to knock down and rebuild. We are on stumps at the moment on a sloping elevated block (ie on top of a small hill). The front goes up very quickly and then there is only a modest slope front to back (200mm) left to right is more like 600mm. The soil is M class and no rock found in previous soil tests. The salesperson said that because it has been built on before, it would be treated as H class. Also, as an established area, we have long set back - around 8m. We haven't had a quote yet, but the salesperson said allow $30K (excluding demolition / removal, which we need to arrange ourselves). It seems like an unbelieveable amount. Its also higher than most of the others on this thread. Do you think they were being conservative? Re: Site Costs with Henley 20May 16, 2007 9:12 pm Doesn't look like anyone has posted for a while so I am unsure if this will help.
I also had a P site with an M-D slab, but as I built with a local builder I wasn't aware of any additional costs over and above, but have since learnt, probably the hard way My neighbour has given me the website address of a guy that gave him some infomation on these connection costs and slab costs and that, he has just finished building with m*******. He (neighbour) said it came in handy becasue he didn't know what he was looking at when it came to that sort of thing. Anyway, hope that it helps. www.residentialinformationsolutions.com.au I haven't checked the site et so I hope that it is o.k. 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 13103 Is anyone building with Mojo and have a recent site cost tender 0 15954 Henley should give you some indication of site costs. Too many variable to give you any reasonable accuracy 1 1889 |
