The quote is $230,000 for 174m2 living + 38m2 garage + 4.2m2 porch + 17m2 alfresco. Tiling, carpet, windows dressing are not included. Is it a good price? It's hard to tell. Yours is around $1000/m2. Custom builder is always dearer. If you go to Clarendon, it'd probably cost you about $700/m2 (excluding site cost) . http://www.clarendonhomes.com.au/html3/ ... index.html It's great if you could post your floor plan up. Also "10 year structural guarantee" doesn't seem good to me. The norm is 25 yrs. Re: Final Inclusion list and a quote 16Sep 05, 2007 9:30 pm $10k per sq (old school) seems a little heavy but there are a few nuggets thrown in there.
I agree - regarding the face brick allowance, make a selection and remove it from the equation. What is the total m2 of the concreted areas? Coloured, Natural, Exposed? Upgrade your cornices - 55mm doesn't hold a line very well. How many coats of pain on the walls/ceilings - 2 or 3? How long is the Vac hose? May require an additional outlet. Tile allowance seems light, if it includes labour then your looking at about $10m2 left for the tile, should you select something that is a bit more expensive then it comes out of your pocket. I suppose it's easy to pick holes, but nobody wants to see someone end up with the dirty end of the stick. Re: Final Inclusion list and a quote 18Sep 07, 2007 12:20 pm Thanks for the suggestions from all of you.
I am going to talk to the builder this saturday and sunday, and hope to get some explanation. For the tile, the $40 i believe is the allowance for the tiles only (labour cost is included in overall cost). Ozn Hi Need to read your contract about when final payment is received. Clearly outlines what happens. In vic, known defects or incomplete work must be completed before… 3 2074 regardless, your contract stipulates a payments schedule and SOPA doesn't give provision to that scenario. Your contractual terms appear to stand. Hence get a lawyer, it… 4 12775 The significant date is when receive final payment invoice Check that section of contract Bit of fluff by builders prior to that 1 16586 |
