Hiya,
Im in the very early stages of purchasing land & working with builder. Have put a conditional offer in on land.
My builder reckons I could be facing anything from $20k - $30k site works (includes soak wells) - this was assumning it was all clay....but turns out its not....
I called a local excavator who just happened to know the piece of land I was buying as he did the site works on it when it was first developed. He tells me all it will need is a couple of trucks of sand @ about $1500 (plus soak wells).
This work was carried out over 5 years ago - does that matter? Will I still have to take all the old sand out & compact it down? Any experts? There is no information with the land agent about what works have been done & the guy IM purchasing from doesnt know. Im going to go knock on the neighbours door & see what they say.
Any tips or advice would be welcome!
