Im halfway down Sammarah and lot is relatively flat too so wouldn’t have guessed I needed one. All these unexpected costs are popping up for me but I guess that’s the joys of building your own home!! How much have you been quoted mate? additonal 12k so far (not including cost of retaining walls) this includes additional drop beam edge (more than double from what i was previously quoted), salinity upgrade, removal and reinstallation of council footpath, additional steps required to front porch and living down to garage. They havent done soil test yet!so chance i could be up for piering costs!!LOL, i already upgraded to H slab @ tender so least that wont be unexpected.. Hi sabrelli Do you know the cost of retaining walls or have a price estimate. We are not sure if we need it too atm but the initial drawing has some mention about retaining wall. I remember someone else asking about retaining walls earlier in this forum. [/quote] Lot of factors like height of retaining wall, total sq mtr required, materials etc etc. Best get a quote for a landscaper/retaining wall tradesperson. [/quote] Do you have any recommendations or do you know someone ? [/quote] Depends on its height. If it is under 1 m and not supporting the house i would give Mike a call 0405382492 tell him Tom recomended him. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ If it is over 1m then it needs to be engineered and council approved and will be a lot more expensive. Good luck [/quote] Thanks mate !

Re: Village Square Edmondson Park Stage 16 695Feb 05, 2017 7:24 pm Hi Guys, Does anyone know of Land Clearing services?. Builder wants the land cleared prior to construction. Luckily not too much vegetation, would have done it myself if it was not for the oppressing heat. How much do they charge usually?.

Casaview didn't ask me for that yet, is it a common practice or you have got some real stuff at your land? We are bit far from start yet. I think almost all. Of us needs a retaining wall!
