House is 2 storey 41.6sq (386square metres). Base price of house $288K - upgrades, electrical & energy assessment costs (to take it back to 6 star energy rating) took the house price to circa $385K and then site costs of approx. $60K (sloping block) put our total cost at $445K. thanks OB. OMG - 60K of site costs. could you tell me the details contributed to your site costs? why is it so expensive? Re: General construction cost breakdown 9Mar 02, 2016 1:01 pm We're just about to knock down (hopefully within the next couple of weeks ). Our demolition cost was about $21k. Site costs I think were around $18k though I'd need to check that - fairly flat block with a bit of fall from back to front requiring some cut and fill. The house we chose (Rawson Benham) says something like $392k on the brochure at the display, including an upgraded facade. Our total cost is more like $475k plus we're doing a bunch of electricals post-handover, so I would say total around $485 excluding landscaping etc. I can't really help with the breakdown of the specifics, sorry.

We're having the builder do the knockdown so I am sure that pushed the price up a bit, although our friends knocked down a similar house a couple of years ago and the price wasn't far off what we're paying. Re: General construction cost breakdown 14Mar 03, 2016 11:31 am Not sure how detailed our pricing was. I will try to check when I get home from work. You should check your detail drawings, it may show downpipe within brick pier. 14 8590 How are you doing Ben?
