I am building in Epping,Victoria-3076 in Hayston Valley Estate.
Proposed Builder--Silkwood Homes
I just got soil test done on the land.I was worried about getting rock.
There is no rock but the builder is saying there is 300mm of fill(loose soil)
I know it has to have H class slab which is included in the price but he is
quoting extra $4500 to add extra concrete because of this fill.
I don't think this is justified.
Can someone tell me their experience which might help.
