Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 25, 2015 8:38 pm Hi Folks My question - is it possible to build and complete 27sq single story house with driveway and basic landscapping within $300,000 ? Any inputs would be much appriciated. (Edited by moderator) Cheerio OB! Re: Things you forget - summary page 32 3Jan 25, 2015 10:11 pm No dramas, I think you can get it for under 300k, so long as you stick with standard inclusions or do a few things after handover - and stick with the big builders like Metricon, etc. I told myself I would stick with standard inclusions and I am at $30,000 in extras, but I increased floor area from 230 square metres to 243, so theres an extra 10-15k. Build cost about 330k, but I am using a small local builder who does 20-30 houses a year (edited by moderator) Dale - Building Newbie Proserpine, QLD Re: Things you forget - summary page 32 4Jan 25, 2015 10:27 pm Lol... this sounds like me - "dont want to cross $300,000" (edited by moderator) Cheerio OB!

Thanks for the input. Did you had tiles or wood throughout? Did you use carpet in any section? ? Cheerio OB!

You can build a mansion with 300k! Just to clarify the 300k does not include your land price?

You can build a mansion with 300k! Just to clarify the 300k does not include your land price? I would be building in nsw Oran Park Town. Mansion in 300k i really doubt that. If you can pm any builder who can get a house done in 300k (i mean complete house plus driveway and landscapping as most builders wont include these 2 things in there price.) And yeah last but the most important point. should privide the house on schedule. Cheerio OB!

And yeah last but the most important point. should privide the house on schedule. Defiantly. We just did. House was 252k almost 28sq. On a 700 sq block. We are at about 20k in for the landscaping. have turfed our backyard. Done retaining walls, fencing, driveway, carport & basic garden bed out of blocks with some nice plants. All that's needed is a small retaining wall out the front yard and a little bit more turf or paving possibly. Defiantly possible to stay under 300k. We are at appin. So not too far from Oran park.

Mate i really wanted to hear this. Actually we are first time building and have 0 info or knowledge about building. And reading such real time reviews from forum members gives me so much courage and i feel i can do it. As my budget is 300k for construction. A simple request if you can pm me your builder details i would be most thankful. Cheerio OB! Re: 27sq home and landscaping under 300k? 12Jan 26, 2015 8:49 pm Sorry yes that includes wood floors throughout. We went with plantation homes (henley). That 265 covered floors, site costs, changes to facade, ceasarstone in all bathrooms & kitchen, timber frame windows and stacker doors, cabinetry changes, inputting a skylight plus way more. 4 bedrooms, 3 living areas + dining. Definitely possible. We will do $1000 turfing after handover and that's it (plus gardens). Building a modified Simonds Palisade in Brentwood Forest.

Re: 27sq home and landscaping under 300k? 14Jan 26, 2015 9:02 pm It's the carmelle q1 we're building. I think the base price is 223'000 but they have a promotion at the moment where you pay 4k and get ducted air conditioning, wood floors & carpet included. I found their inclusions to be better then most other builders. Building a modified Simonds Palisade in Brentwood Forest.
