So we have started getting costings in our new home to be, and we've blown the budget by 65K. While chipping back here and there will bring things back to a more respectable price, we are now looking at site works and seeing where we can save, and I'm thinking sand is one of them. We are going to need something in the order of 677 cubic metres of sand (this allows for 90% compaction) and I've been surfing the net to get some price on sand. Looks like we'd be lucky to get it cheaper than $65 per cubic metre (eeeeeeeeek ).
So I'm onto a site called Fill Wanted. Might be able to do something there
Would love to know if anyone else has sourced their own sand while building with a project builder?
Also, anyone know of a more reasonable cost per square metre?
Thanks
