Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 27, 2018 4:35 am Hi Everyone, I have a block in stage 16 due to title soon. Currently exploring building options, I have been to a few builders and out of all the builders been dealing with Metricon & Boutique Homes and got quotes off both. After comparing the two quotes, Metricon has quoted $35k and Boutique Homes $20k for site costs. Yes, very excessive difference between the two. Would anyone be able to give an actual cost for their site? Re: Aurora Stage 16 - Build 2May 27, 2018 9:07 pm Site costs used by project builders are used as a vehicle to raise one’s profit margin. It’s so padded with opacity that you can’t compare the dollar cost across builders directly. You need to get the engineering design specs and read the fine print in order to compare apples for apples and see if you are getting ripped off (e.g. type of slab, number of concrete peers, is rock excavation included etc.) Not unless you have managed to put it as a special condition into the contract somehow. 1 6040 The fastest thing a builder will do is bank your cheque, those systems work perfectly with lightning speed, everything else is slow burn. Just the way it is. 1 8672 1 4650 |
