Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Hickinbotham Build Northern Adelaide 304Sep 29, 2017 7:49 am well heard back late yesterday nothing booked in for slab yet - so im assuming once a date is booked in for slab they will arrange for the siteworks to be done in the preceding days. so probably another 1-2 weeks at least. its good just to be kept informed so will chase up again next thursday Re: Hickinbotham Build Northern Adelaide 305Sep 29, 2017 8:15 am how frustrating - hope next week is your week Re: Hickinbotham Build Northern Adelaide 306Sep 29, 2017 8:20 am more likely the week after at the earliest i reckon. It will happen when it happens. Just going to try and forget about it for a week or so. would rather them delay and take their time then rush. but it is frustrating as i just want to see it all start to come together. I just want some to get past the the uncertainty of the scrape soil costings and no unexpected surprises when doing the trenching etc. Re: Hickinbotham Build Northern Adelaide 307Sep 29, 2017 4:19 pm Urgh can think how frustrated it must be! Our site was scraped 13/9 and we still have not geard about any costings for the soil removal at all. Others from ither companies said the going rate was $550 pervteuck load (10ton) for loading and dumping.so should be between $1100- $1700 depending on the amount of soil. which was in the same range we got quoted by other companies $80-100 per hour of loading/waiting/transporting/dumping (if under 50tons). And $30-55 per ton of soil thats loaded and dumped. Guy estimated for us atleast 20-30 tons. (Before it was done) would be good to finally kniw final figures and get past it. Re: Hickinbotham Build Northern Adelaide 309Oct 01, 2017 2:51 pm Entilzha sounds about right - all depends how much they need to cut and how much can be used as fill Did they say why you are still waiting? Or gave any reason regarding why slab has not been booked yet? Re: Hickinbotham Build Northern Adelaide 311Oct 01, 2017 9:52 pm This is so confusing we still dont know about our slab or if its been booked The things that have been done has just been done :no communication to say its completed/ done Hope you get started this week and that we will get a slab. Re: Hickinbotham Build Northern Adelaide 316Oct 06, 2017 7:15 am Notging as of wednesday. Havent decidwd if i want to go there again today or just leave it till next monday. Even though i dont expect anything to be happening it is dissapointing when i drive up there and confirm it Re: Hickinbotham Build Northern Adelaide 319Oct 06, 2017 4:24 pm That can be the soil that they will use after the scrape to level out and fill up again where they have scraped. Our lot was scraped and then the scraped part was filled up again to be level. Then they compacted it and then the trenches was dug Looks like you had a light scrape on the block. Then i presume that soil will be levelled out before you get trenches! Yay your on your way so about a week the you will have a slab!
