We have family there though who have taken some photos for us, and we are down for a few days on August so will have a look then! Until then I'll keep an eye on your photos! Haha Re: Building with Ventura in Bushmead, WA 28Jul 04, 2017 4:42 pm jshaw88 Has anyone got their sitecosts back yet? I just got mine back and unfortunately the amount my builder provised doesn't cover the actual cost!! Annoyed is an understatement! Yep, ours came back to roughly 18/19k. I can have a look when I get home at the exact amount. They ended up charging us roughly another $1500 for a probe to take the soil sample which we were annoyed about because our rep said he had over estimated the costs for everything and we would be fine if the soil came back A class - which it did. How much are they charging you? Re: Building with Ventura in Bushmead, WA 29Jul 04, 2017 4:45 pm We had $21,000 as our provisional sum and its come back at an extra $3464. For what exactly I don't know I am waiting to hear back from someone. We were told the same, our rep over estimated and in 10 years has never been wrong - obviously a first for everything!

I'm heading home now, I'll post a pic of what ours includes and how much. Re: Building with Ventura in Bushmead, WA 32Jul 04, 2017 5:48 pm Kzee We had a allowance of $18k. After engineers report extra $5262. We were prepared for extra site costs and salesperson was upfront asvising us it would be under $25k. That's good to know i'm not the only one paying over $20K. Who is your builder Kzee? Re: Building with Ventura in Bushmead, WA 35Jul 04, 2017 6:04 pm This doesn't give the total price but it lists what we were charged for each item. Wow over 20k! Are you on a big block?? We weren't happy about the $1600 extra, I'd have a heart attack if it was more than 3k. Re: Building with Ventura in Bushmead, WA 36Jul 04, 2017 6:06 pm It's good to know that we are roughly around the same amount... just so frustrating when you get told to expect something and then something else happens. Thanks for that really appreciated! Re: Building with Ventura in Bushmead, WA 37Jul 04, 2017 7:00 pm Rheezy This doesn't give the total price but it lists what we were charged for each item.

It's a 630m2... yeah wasn't impressed just means a big chunk of our Prestart money will have to go towards the extra 😫 Re: Building with Ventura in Bushmead, WA 39Jul 06, 2017 8:19 am Hi Guy ...thanks for sharing $5000 for the Engineering, LOL, I can assure you he doesn't get paid that Please do your homework on PS Site Costs & Engineering beforehand You won't be able to negotiate once you've handed over a deposit Goodluck Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs go upvc window frames ensure insulation under colorbond. not just sarking, lighter color roof also not sure if you have seen this viewtopic.php?t=5823 last couple of pages… 4 110550 Even if it's not being sub-divided and you want to keep it as Torrens title, you will still need to talk to a town planner or Council themselves, to see if they will allow… 1 11033 |
