Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Sloping irregular block <300m2 in a so far vacant estate 4Jun 05, 2018 2:34 pm MelbourneChick85 @mdanky I see that your post is quite old. Just wondering who did you end up using to build your house? and what was the cost if i may ask please? I have recently purchased a 300 sqm block that is a part of large subdivision in Avondale Heights (Melb NW) and has a 5-6m slope. I feel like it IS an uphill battle, finding the right builder to build on a slope is proving difficult. Hi, doubtful you’ll get a reply, that person has 1 post to their name and couldn’t be bothered even answering the one reply they did get the day after originally posting. As far as finding the right builder, it’s so much more work and cost for them on a sloping site that they usually cover themselves by quoting way over what it probably should be. I don’t really know what you can do other than getting a builder with experience on sloping sites/split level homes and checking their work and references. The good trustworthy builders will give you this information freely. Good luck.

I am leaning towards to GJ Garnder as they are the only ones who have come at the lowest per sq so far at 16.5k per square Re: Sloping irregular block <300m2 in a so far vacant estate 6Jun 05, 2018 9:10 pm I’m just going through a few custom builders in Sydney, they are charging around $2200-$2500sqm, (20-23k per square) so more than your quotes. Depends on what level of finish you want... Give Jonathan a call. Tell him you know me. He is in my opinion the best surveyor I have ever worked with. His number is 0425 285 622 All the best Simeon 3 12423 i did click it, still couldnt make it out rofl. in any case, doesnt look like too extreme a slope, you may be in luck. Just shoot out some emails to volume builders in… 3 18574 The OP has gone The latch and striker are definitely not aligned but there was no point trying to help the OP understand that. Hence the reason they are no longer with us. 12 5691 |
