Yikes alright!!! I would also be questioning the extra scaffolding part, I am not sure about that one. Is the back of the house really close to the cliff? I can definitely understand the sewer bit (for extra piering, but you want that done right)...I must admit, I don't fully understand what all of it is for sometimes
Not sure exactly how many mtrs but it's close, so apparently they need it for the roof (SS confirmed it the other day) but I guess we'll see what happens...
Ours wasn't too far off yours. All up, ours cost just under $17000. But then again $5000 is $5000 Our split level (for four steps) cost $7000, plus we had a H class slab classification and also extra excavation costs. I guess as you know, it all adds up.
Yeah, it's exciting to have someone else building the same house as us, I guess that we will be the first ones around, so we can bounce ideas and problems off each other whilst building
Fingers crossed this week for your home, it looked pretty muddy out there with your last photos.
Yep, $5,000 still makes a difference as that could be tiles upgrades, waterfall edges in the kitchen, etc... for such a small house/block we really got hit!
Ummm, your step sounds heaps cheaper than ours as ours is only 2 steps, do you step up or down? (do you get higher ceilings on the rest of the house?) where's your step actually?
Oh, no, we only have the normal type of slab (M I think?) we didn't have to upgrade that, thank goodness, I guess the only lucky thing on that part...
Yeah, it's great that we are both building the same house even though that they are quite different, we will certainly bounce ideas off each other!
Or $5,000 put towards render How big is your block?
We step down 4 steps. But no high ceiling (unfortunately) They would've been expensive I bet. Great, but expensive.
