Hi Guys, I have been reading this forum for the last 4-5 month and it has been a great source of information.
We have had a draughtsman draw up our plans and we are looking to build a Double Story Weatherboard House with 4 Bedrooms. (3 Upstairs). The living areas will be 32.38 squares while other areas will be 8.2 (Garage 4 sq, Alfresco 2.4 sq, Veranda 1.8 sq.
We took this to a local builder who told us that it would cost 400k-450k to build the inside alone. This was working on a price of 14k per square which will be for good quality finishes.
Now my Brother is building with NBG in Melbourne and is looking at a 50 square home including Garage, Alfresco & Veranda and he has been quoted 330k ish to build his home. This includes 50k of upgrades.
Now I know that my brother will incur more costs and that many things are not included but how can the price be so different?
Your thoughts and experiences would be appriecated.
