Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 29, 2011 10:09 pm Ok, so I'm in the early stages of thinking of building a house and I just wondered what fees might be involved. We finished off our current house so I know roughly how much it costs to finish a house - window treatments, carpets, paint, landscaping, tv aerial etc, but I don't know what other costs might be involved in actually building one (apart from the cost of the house and land). The man at a display home today said to allow about $15k for site costs for a 714sqm flat suburban block - does that sound reasonable? Obv there is also stamp duty, and probably LMI in our case, but what other fees/associated costs are there? I'm sure this topic must have been covered before so please feel free to point me in the right direction. Thanks v much.
