Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 09, 2018 1:08 pm Hello all. Can anyone share their total build price in Perth. We have purchased a 350sqm land and we signed a contract to build a 4x2 with theatre house for $290K including site works. Site works price is $61K which causing us a headache due to slope of 1.5m.

Thanks for your response. Would you mind me asking your house base price? We did some upgrades as well and dropped as well as recessed ceiling. But the big portion of the cost is the site works. It started from provisional sum of 40K when we signed the initial documents, then became 47K on contract signing suddenly has blown up to 61K.

We are paying apx $850 per sq mtr ex site cost and we have apx 100 sq mtr that is not internal house ie Alfresco, Garage & Portico. However it would have been less if we went 2c bricks and colorbond roof. We had no problem with our bank valuation even with our upgrades.

Ours is 2c bricks with acrylic render at front and right side elevation. 31c ceiling in living areas and 28c in rooms and scullery, dropped ceiling in the kitchen and recessed ceiling in the theatre. Our builder use Affinity windows as standard. We will have shingle roof tiles, 600x600 floor tiles in living including kitchen and scullery then 300x200 in wet areas. We upgraded to roller blinds as window treatment. Cabinetry is formica laminates.

My site costs were $20 000 fixed. Upgrades were essastone throughout, smart wiring, cctv, intercom, hobless showers, kitchen upgrade + many more. @Madora Dreamer Re: Is $290K Build Price for a total of 240sqm House Reasona 14Jan 18, 2018 12:25 pm Madora Dreamer Hi Jaycee My house is 266m2 and cost $300 000.

I’ve been following your build Madora Dreamer. You’ve got a nice house. I think our build is quite expensive due to our sloping block and siteworks alone is 61K. Re: Is $290K Build Price for a total of 240sqm House Reasona 15Jan 18, 2018 12:28 pm There were times when I thought stop with the spending but my kids kept telling me to get what I want! The money is still pouring out with landscaping, solar panels, cabinetry, tiling and of course all new furniture. I am loving it and keep telling myself you only live once... @Madora Dreamer Re: Is $290K Build Price for a total of 240sqm House Reasona 16Jan 18, 2018 1:06 pm JayCee24 Choosy You also need to factor the building materials, inclusions, finished product and customer service. 1c or 2 c bricks - we have mostly 1c bricks to outside walls and some acrylic render 28c, 30c or 31c ceilings - we have 31c with a 28c bulked to kitchen & scullery and 34c raised to AV room Clay roof tiles, concrete roof tiles or colorbond roof - we went with clay roof tiles Jason, Dowell or other brand of windows and glass used - we went with Jason windows Any floor coverings or window finishes in the package and what grade (we removed these) Size of wet area tiling and size of tiles used Local custom made cabinetry or imported " on size fits all" - we get local custom built What is included in standard range - some builders only include very basic tapware.

Unfortunately building is a business and some builders will quote what they think you are willing to pay, especially if they know you won't have a problem with finance. We are all different as are the products used by the builders, its takes time to compare apples to apples, especially if you want pears. Good luck with your build. Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 8 17180 Seems good to me. I've been told $4-5k/sqm is reasonable in Perth. 2 11130 Wow I hadn't realised things had gotten that pricey in just a couple of years since I built, that is crazy with how much land is now costing if you aren't lucky enough to… 3 7014 |
