Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Sep 24, 2012 6:09 pm Hi all, we have until tomorrow cool off on land to demolish and rebuild. Just getting cold feet, could people advise me on cost of build an average 3 bed room single story house and the after costs like fencing, landscaping, paths, floor coverings? I have guesstimated 270k build and 70k for the above. Do you think I am close to the mark? thanks for the input Re: average costs 2Sep 24, 2012 6:12 pm I think so, we are looking at about 230sqm for less than 300k with everything except landscaping.

I am finding it hard to calculate costs because everything is so varied, it seems you don't know the cost to build until way after you sign up because of the upgrades you may want to do. what fun!! average costs 5Sep 25, 2012 11:13 am I'd try to look for a builder that has fixed site costs and as much included in the base price as possible. This not only helps your budgeting but also your prospects of getting a good valuation as the banks won't include many of your upgrades in their valuation.
