Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 05, 2014 7:15 pm Hi everyone, So it seems i'm stuck with a BAL rating of 12.5 (neighbour to my right has it,neighbour to my left hasn't). Out of the quotes we have from various builders it amounts to aprox $3500-$4000 for a 26 square single story build...However,the builder we are likely going with have quoted a suspicious $5025....this is on top of flyscreens added as an optional extra.(they're stating that i'm only getting charged for upgrading them to a mesh) When asked to provide a breakdown of the costs of the BAL they have simply stated that they go on per square of the house??.... It's annoying enough having this cost without it being beefed up by a volume builder...... any thoughts? Mark Re: BAL rating in Warralily and appropriate costs on a build 2Nov 05, 2014 7:20 pm Our place is less than 25 squares, BAL 12.5 also. Our Charge was $5,150. This included metal mesh flyscreens. Seems about the going rate.

It includes aluminium mesh flyscreens to windows, but not the sliding doors. We had a whole page of items that the BAL included, but not a price against each of those items.

Our builder was able to provide a breakdown of each item included in the quote.

I contacted the manufacturer; they will issue a certificate with BAL rating mentioned on it. 2 1845 |
