Hi All.
Just wondering if I can get some advice and thoughts. Just received back site survey and site costs have come in 11k more than proposed (total is 26k).
Major changes from the survey is:
- initially thought land is flat. Now they are saying there is a 30cm drop from left to right of the land and will need a retaining wall.
- crossover is longer than excepted (6m) so will need allowance for excess paving
- construction fencing due to next door being vacant land as well
And additional charges that weren't included in our proposal:
- allowance for 3c brick build up to boundary wall of garage
- allowance for 3c drop footing along boundary rear
- allowance to relocate water meter below the ground
- provide channel drain with galvanised grate to front of garage, connected to stormwater
First time building with so we are nervous and stressed about the costs. Any advice is much appreciated! Building in WA in established block.
