Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 05, 2018 11:36 am Hi All - New to this site! But looks like it has so much to read! My wife & I have bought in Eden (Lavender Drive - 990sqm block) and just finished our selections. We are stage 5 so still a little while until the block is actually ready to build on! Just wondering, what was the initial quote of footings for your homes and then the actual cost? And also the size of the house & builders. Look forward to reading about everyone journey! Cheers. Re: Eden Two Wells SA 2Nov 05, 2018 12:54 pm After our engineers report it was only 6k more for our footings and it came to 70k for us. We are on Magnolia Boulevard! We are building with Dechellis and including our alfresco our house is 341m2. How have you found Hickinbotham so far?

We had read many different reviews on them, but for our budget and what we wanted it worked out well. Joanne in the Two Wells display home was fantastic couldn't rate her any higher if we tried! And all the staff in the office so far have been great and VERY quick at replying. Our selections lady Madison was amazing as well. We added in all our upgrades before selections so it wasn't a shock to us, we have upgraded everything almost lol, but it is our long-term home, so nice 3M high entranceway as you walk in and high doors and opening throughout. Should have a very grand feel to it! The house is 270 Sqm and have quoted us - $3000 Soil removal $915 N2 Wind speed $500 Survey to identify true & Exact boundaries $500 Extra underground services $22300 Footings 'Above Standard' The above costs are all 'PC items' so can change... But we will be in a pickle if they come back and say 70K for footings?!? I built with EB back on 2009.
