Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 25, 2013 12:10 pm Hi Everyone My husband and I have just paid out initial deposit to our builder, signed the land contract and currently waiting for the cooling off period to finish. We've bought a small block in Athelstone and waiting for the soil report to come back.. admittedly I am very nervous about the final costing. Does any one have any experience in building in Athelstone, and they paid for their footing? We're building the Cedar with Metricon, and they've allocated $12,000 for footings. I'm terrified the report will come back with astronomical costs!! Any help will be gratefully received. Thanks Re: HELP! Footings is freaking me out! 2Dec 18, 2013 1:02 pm Hi Turtle do you have your soil classifications back yet? 4 14292 Unless there is something in special conditions the builder does not have to give you timeline. If your demolition contractor has not removed Asbestos and it was found… 12 28800 Thanks for the informative response! I'll feed that back to the site supervisor. 2 4110 |
