Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 24, 2011 9:55 pm my final plans were in the post when i got home 2day. just looking thru them.....they seem to have changed our siteworks. in the amount we are paying it is including bringing in a huge amount of sand to build us up above all the limestone and now they've changed it to a cut and fill, so now i'll be lower and less of a view. and there is no change of cost. anyone know if i should get money back for this?? can i request it still be done the original way?? which is better to cut and fill (even if there is a lot of rock) or to build up to be above all the rock?? we are on 5 acres with lots of limestone viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43238 building with kerdels in gabbadah, wa block purchased april 2010 signed with builder oct 2010 papers signed jan 2011 prestart done 17/01/2011 Re: builders have changed siteworks 2Feb 24, 2011 10:29 pm there is also a slope to the build area of maybe 900mm. originally the sales guy said that you have to build up x amount of height above the higest peak of rock, so how can they then do a cut and fill, when i know the rock goes a long way down?? there are photos of my build site on my build thread if that helps. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43238 building with kerdels in gabbadah, wa block purchased april 2010 signed with builder oct 2010 papers signed jan 2011 prestart done 17/01/2011 Look at your bill from the electricity company.
