Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 29, 2010 5:17 pm hi, have been stuffing around looking for a new home for a while now, first was burbank, then there was dennis, now Metricon. We are planning to build the Lancaster 25 in Broadford in Strath Lakes, a new estate. Anyway we got a sales order signed and what not, then we got an email saying we need to add another allowance of 15,000 for a bushfire levy which would blow our budget completley!! Although they said its precautionary, and they said it shouldnt cost that much, i have a funny feeling we have been sucked in! Does anyone know if Metricon are reasonable with their prices of the levy? cheers Re: Metricon: Bush Fire Levy for the Lancaster 25 2Jun 30, 2010 9:47 am Hi it would depend on what Bal rating you are we are a Bal 40 and building with dennis our extra was $18500 it was around $12000 for a BAL 29 hope this helps Soots viewtopic.php?f=31&t=31037 harvard 27 DFH signed contract 16th March 2010 slab down 1st June 2010 frame started 8th June 2010 trusses and frame finished 24th June 2010 tiles almost done 14th July 2010 Bricks started 14th July 2010 Plaster started 28th July 2010 Paint 25th August 2010 Re: Metricon: Bush Fire Levy for the Lancaster 25 3Jun 30, 2010 5:10 pm well we got good news, our rating is under the 12.5, so costs will be minimal. thanks god!!
