Demo approval is simple enough, intervals, as you know, is a totally different ball game.

The most we can do now is to try and get demolition approval organised and our internals finalised Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW viewtopic.php?t=82846 Demo approval is simple enough, intervals, as you know, is a totally different ball game. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78995 Build thread - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78995 Re: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 82Aug 01, 2016 8:57 pm Very true NRG37+ Just wondering, what have been your experiences with M's accuracy in predicting stormwater and BASIX costs, ie how close was their actual cost to their provisional sum? We just received a variation for our stormwater and BASIX items and it ended up being 30% more than M's provisional sum. We didn't budget for this significant sum and feel it's a bit unfair for M to slap this on us after they submit to council with all the hydraulics and BASIX reports so we can't really complain without affecting out DA after application Would be good to know what people think here about provisional sum vs actual sum re stormwater and BASIX Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW viewtopic.php?t=82846 Build thread: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde, NSW Re: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 83Aug 01, 2016 9:26 pm Good question Q, made me think. Provisionals; Stormwater disposal-$20,000 BASIX- $10,000 Bushfire (BAL 12.5)- $7000 Rock removal- $10,000 Traffic control- $8,000 Actuals; Stormwater disposal & BASIX- $11,287 refund Bushfire (BAL 12.5)- $2594 refund Rock removal- TBC Traffic control- TBC I expect to get most if not all of the money back for rock and traffic as it wasn't ultimately needed.

Then changed stormwater provision to 5k and I questioned what caused the big drop and was advised it wasn't final. Then final cost came in at 11k for stormwater and 10k for basix. Still don't know why they changed the provision from 20k to 5k but final of 11k is better than 20k Nev _________________ Blog | ( will start once received tender ) H1 thread | https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77665 Re: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 85Aug 01, 2016 11:18 pm Thanks guys, I'm just feeling a bit sore about being charged $6.8k for a 6800L above ground rainwater tank, $3.5k for gutter protectors, and $27k to implement the hydraulic engineers' stormwater system. Our provisional sum was $23k for stormwater and $10k for BASIX, but we are being hit for a $10k bill on top of the provisional sums Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW viewtopic.php?t=82846 Build thread: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde, NSW Re: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 87Aug 02, 2016 2:42 pm We were Provisional sums: Stormwater disposal- $20,000 BASIX- $10,000 Actuals: Stormwater disposal - $16,359 Gutter Guards - $5,180 Additional Concrete & Drop Edge Beam for Rainwater Tanks - $6,562 + $592 Rainwater Tanks (x3) - $4,416 + $6,079 Recycled Water plumbing - $2,210 So in total our actuals were $11,398 more than the provisional sums ------- Metricon Aria https://ourlittlearia.wordpress.com/ Re: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 88Aug 02, 2016 2:50 pm Build thread: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde, NSW Re: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 89Aug 02, 2016 2:51 pm ------- Metricon Aria https://ourlittlearia.wordpress.com/ Re: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 90Aug 02, 2016 2:56 pm aria Thanks Aria, I guess we just live in an area with higher than average stormwater system requirements Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW viewtopic.php?t=82846 Build thread: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde, NSW Re: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 91Aug 02, 2016 3:01 pm Quirmeball1280 aria Thanks Aria, I guess we just live in an area with higher than average stormwater system requirements Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW viewtopic.php?t=82846 Haha the stormwater/basix requirements have been the most painful part of the administration part of the build for my husband lol ------- Metricon Aria https://ourlittlearia.wordpress.com/ Re: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 92Aug 02, 2016 5:22 pm Yes, Ryde makes you do "stupid" levels of stormwater detention.

Our provisionals were $25k - came in at $22k. BASIX $10k - came in at $11k. Based on the differences evetyone is quoting above, how can they vary so much for similar sized homes (excuse my ignorance if this is glaringly obvious)?? Re: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 97Aug 02, 2016 6:09 pm One 5710 L tank for us. Aria are you sure you need 3 tanks, could it be an admin error?!

Aria are you sure you need 3 tanks, could it be an admin error?! it was on the osd/basix report that went to Council Our land slopes slightly from front to back so I think that's why we needed heaps....lol my husband argued with them about why we needed so much but apparently that's how it has to be it meant we had to make his study smaller as well to accommodate for the rainwatertanks ------- Metricon Aria https://ourlittlearia.wordpress.com/ Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 99Aug 02, 2016 6:17 pm I guess we should seek comfort that our houses shouldn't wash away as easily from storms with such a robust stormwater system..lol Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW viewtopic.php?t=82846 Build thread: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde, NSW Re: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 100Aug 02, 2016 6:20 pm Aria, is your husband called Noah by any chance?!
