Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 23, 2013 7:56 pm Im interested in your experience with the cost added by a BAL 12.5 or BAL 29 assessment etc. I am constantly asked by clients when I do their BAL assessment , how much extra will it cost to build? I am interested in having some information I can pass on to them? @builderforlife Building inspector and passionate about construction When you need an expert to take a look.

Re: Extra cost of various bushfire attack levels (BAL) 3Aug 23, 2013 8:06 pm Thanks scotty, were all the costs quoted up front or did you get surprises? @builderforlife Building inspector and passionate about construction When you need an expert to take a look. Re: Extra cost of various bushfire attack levels (BAL) 4Aug 23, 2013 8:49 pm I specifically asked to be quoted upfront as I knew I would need it. Builder provided provisional estimate which was finalized once council did their assessment.i think final price was small coin cheaper as fewer wire mesh screens not needed on the sliding doors at the end.

Hi, have purchased a house with 2 single garage doors. The Centre pillar one side sits proud to the other. Can I change 2 doors into one. Please see picture. 0 2420 Hi Simeon, Thanks for your reply. Yes, that makes sense. I contacted the manufacturer; they will issue a certificate with BAL rating mentioned on it. 2 1847 |
