Re: Henley homes fixed site cost 6Apr 16, 2019 9:23 am Hi there, Just would like to have better understading for below note which is in my quote. Site Costs & Connections based on a building allotment of up to 650 square metres. Engineered "M" Class Waffle Pod Slab. Connection to standard sewer and storm water connection points within the building allotment. A maximum of 12 metres of underground single phase power run. Includes Part A Termite treatment. A maximum of 300mm fall over building area & a maximum setback of 5 metres to house. Excludes rock removal, telephone service and consumer account opening fees. Re: Henley homes fixed site cost 7Apr 16, 2019 10:00 am Hi desai Unfortunately, that is just a standard clause which means very little the question arises, "how much have they allowed Dollar wi$e and is it itemised?" OT The note on the quote is aimed to highlight but not alarm .. that is until the engineering ( geotech, piles,etc) is completed...then it's extra over the co$ts on what was allowed. BTW the site costs can't be fixed without the engineering Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Henley homes fixed site cost 8Jul 29, 2019 6:11 pm Hi desai These are common clauses framed differently depending on the builder. Different builders will allow dofferent dollars in the quoting stages. But once you get the reports then you will have a fixed price tender. Please make sure that all reports are done upfront so there are no surprises later.

Noticed your post was made last year, did you end up building with Henley? Did your fixed site cost increase after you paid deposit? We got a sales quote and asked for fixed site costs (had the same disclaimer as noted on your post). Our fixed site cost was around $2k only! Just thinking if this is too good to be true! We have been quoted fixed site costs by two other builders at over $10k.

We are in the process of doing paperwork for new build and was quoted $13K for site costs. Thanks Re: Henley homes fixed site cost 11Jul 02, 2022 10:00 am Hey judith Welcome to the forum Salesman/Builders have already been warned by the regulators not to put down low siteworks estimates to entice New Homebuilders into contract only to have the estimates double and triple once the geotech and engineering has come in. Then you are told in the builders office the salesman made an honest mistake? Smart move is to get your own geo Engineering and have 3 builders to quote before you hand over a deposit.
