Generally this means signing up with the builder and paying around 1k to 1.5k. If you do not choose to go ahead, you can walk away with the contour survey and the soil test, but you will lose your deposit. You could get the contour survey and soil test done yourself, but there is the very real possibilty that the builder you choose will refuse to quote on those tests and will want them done by their preferred company. The best you can do is research your area, find out what other soil tests have come back as, the likelihood of rock, and the fall of your land. (Your contract should have some type of preliminary contour survey from before work commenced). Armed with this info, you should be able to work out a rough guesstime. But that's all it will be, a rough guesstimate, but it will be of some assistance until you get a formal quote. It's tough, but it's the way it is unfortunately. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.
