I’m getting wildly different estimate as people don’t know what to do with the slope. Any tried and tested landscaper? Slope before or after the build?

Re: Building At Macarthur Heights (UWS Campbelltown) 279Oct 11, 2019 4:38 pm rajmatizer Hi Guys, I was searching around for a forum for McArthur Heights and came across this forum. I was just shopping around to build my investment property on University Drive Lot 413X series appox 570 sqm. I did note that the land has a bit of slope maybe 2.5m-3m downwards slope. Anyone building around this area now and can you suggest any builders? I am based in Brissy and very much interested to know if there are significant site costs around the slopy block. I am planning to build a single /double storey and a detached granny flat if possible or I may even build a duet. It all depends on the costs so any tips from the current owners should be gold for me.

The problem is that the builder seems to pushing us to do a cut and fill instead.

What intrigues me is that the builder(Smnds Homes) is really pushing us to do a cut and fill and not even considering a split level house. Anyone with similar experience? We have to sign the contract on beginning of February so no much time left to make changes. Cheers, Building Standards; Getting It Right! We bought a house in 2015 advertised as a 7/2/2, 4br up, 3br down (7br), and to date, it’s a great house. However, we’ve just had it valued and it’s come in as a… 0 11966 Thanks for your reply. I will just wait and see I guess. Trying to get some more information from our builder. 9 30236 |
