Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 04, 2009 5:00 am Hi, we've been quoted the following on some additions to our new house and I'd like some input regarding price. 1) Acrylic render to whole house 330sqm ~22K (sealer+acrylic membrane + paint) Based on one other quote received doesn't look too bad but keen for thoughts 2) Stack stones 10k about 25sqm. This seems over top. I can pick up the stones $70 per sqm. I could do this job myself for less than 3K. Any reason why it shouldn't be done by me? 3) Droughts seals to doors and windows 2k Thanks for your help Re: Pricing opinions please 2May 04, 2009 9:32 am rmargoss Hi, we've been quoted the following on some additions to our new house and I'd like some input regarding price. 1) Acrylic render to whole house 330sqm ~22K (sealer+acrylic membrane + paint) Based on one other quote received doesn't look too bad but keen for thoughts 2) Stack stones 10k about 25sqm.

Thanks for your help These 2 (Not sure about 3) are ALWAYS overpriced by the builders and can be done after hand over, there's no need to get your builder to do this unless you don't mind handing them bucket loads of cash. i'll be doing the stack stone on two pillars at the front of my house and will cost about $1k in total. (Inc. the mixture to apply the stack stone to the wall). The supplier has said it's extremely easy to DIY. As for render just get a 3rd party to do it after hand over. ---------------------------------------- Building the PD Lisbon 24 http://www.porterdavis.com.au/#homeviewer/lisbon/24 Blog of our progress. http://lisbon24.blogspot.com/ Homeone build thread https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28665 Re: Pricing opinions please 3May 06, 2009 7:15 am Thanks, stack stones I absolutely agree but we have 3 quotes for Acrylic render to a 330sqm house and they all come to 22k which is same as builder.
