If so, would you mind sharing how much? I read in the inclusions that an allowance for these is included. In my tender letter i have 4k of fees for these connections :/ Ummm what!!! Fixed price contract includes connection to services. What is their justification for extra costs?? I wanted to check and make sure that no one else had these costs in their tender before I ask why im being slugged extra. So im guessing you don't have connection costs included in your tender? The fixed price includes land up to 600m2 and ours is 632m2 - surely we aren't paying 4k for that extra 32m2. I remember looking at the photos of your tender that you put on your page and by looking at it, I think the extra fees are due to rock excavation.

Gold Coast is in for a drenching over the next 2 weeks and I think this is going to make the soil pretty muddy, anyone have any experience with that they do? Typically, it should depend on the soil conditions, as the more reactive the soil, the more susceptible it would be to slab heaving. (Soil swelling with the water and shrinking when drying out). If you have engineering dwgs, you could get further information from the structural engineer if you wanted a more definitive answer.
