Fall is expensive in building and 2m is significant.700mm isn't. Probably only a few (2-4)thousand depending on other site factors. Re: How to know fall in land and how much would it cost extr 3Sep 15, 2019 6:53 am ConfusedBuyer Hi everyone, First home buyer here. We're planning to buy a land and build on it. However, the agent initially told me the land has 2m and then changed to 700mm. My question is How do I know what is the fall of the land ? if its 2m fall, how much extra would the building cost be for a same flat land ? Thank you for your input. How deep is the block? A 2m fall over a longer distance may not have a significant impact, but there are so many variables, including whether it’s pretty constant over that distance. My block is 51m deep with a 2m fall and we didn’t have any significant costs- also, you wouldn’t look at my block and call it a sloping block, but the same fall over a block only 30m deep would look different. Have you tried your local council website ? Ours has a maps section where you can pull up our block and it has functionality for you to draw and measure distance, as well as showing you the fall across the block M Y C U S T O M C O R A L B R O N T E 43 ...............Kitchen! 16 Nov 2016 https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=79581 Re: How to know fall in land and how much would it cost extr 4Sep 15, 2019 9:56 am Hi ConfusedBuyer Welcome to the forum I suggest you find someone with a laser level and you check the levels properly A surveyor will cost you about $500 Also check with neighbours that are building for site/soil classification. hth Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: How to know fall in land and how much would it cost extr 6Sep 15, 2019 10:22 am MrsJM ConfusedBuyer Hi everyone, First home buyer here.

It is a 27m block with 2m. It would be more steep compared to 50m. I couldn't find any information on the city of whittlesea website. The block is in arramont estate Thanks Re: How to know fall in land and how much would it cost extr 7Sep 15, 2019 10:22 am Steve4216 Hard to tell, best bet is to talk to a builder.

Re: How to know fall in land and how much would it cost extr 8Sep 15, 2019 10:37 am StructuralBIMGuy Hi ConfusedBuyer Welcome to the forum I suggest you find someone with a laser level and you check the levels properly A surveyor will cost you about $500 Also check with neighbours that are building for site/soil classification. hth It is the first release of the estate so would be hard to find neighbors around. But I would most likely go to the surveyor option. That sounds like the right way to proceed. Thanks for your advice. Re: How to know fall in land and how much would it cost extr 9Sep 15, 2019 10:59 am The new Estate developers should have surveyed Plans with contours, Soil Reports. There are regulations for developing land also check with the local Council?

Thank you so much for your help Re: How to know fall in land and how much would it cost extr 11Aug 02, 2020 8:22 pm I was wondering if some one could help me out. We have got a land and the fall in the engineering drawings is 1.8m from rear corner to front corner diagonally. However the I could not see any fall its a flat land I have literally walked on it. One of the builder after visited the site to provide fixed site costs have us 23k for 50sq house. That means the engineering diagrams might be outdated. Could some one pls shed a light on this for me. Also if surveyor can provide a report with the fall in it, I would like to engage as well. Appreciate your help Re: How to know fall in land and how much would it cost extr 12Aug 03, 2020 9:02 pm As per SrtructuralBimGuys reply above. A simple laser level or old fashioned dumpy level hired from a rental company for $50 per day and you would have the falls worked out yourself in less than an hour with a friend to hold a stick. Easy solution. No need to employ a surveyor to do a contour survey ( at this point anyway ) for $500+ Stewie Re: How to know fall in land and how much would it cost extr 13Aug 03, 2020 9:12 pm Stewie D As per SrtructuralBimGuys reply above.

But unfortunately I am asking this for the sake of site costs estimation, this really helps to show it to the builder during quote stage. I found a surveyor getting this done for 385$ (Take site levels, establish a TBM, connect to AHD and compute contours). I am getting high site costs being the 1.8m fall in the drawings. but its a flat land.

Re: How to know fall in land and how much would it cost extr 15Sep 27, 2020 9:22 pm I'm sorry, but now I with a similar problem. Maybe anybody can send me some manuals on how can I check the levels properly with my own laser level? Or it necessary to call a registered surveyor?

Maybe anybody can send me some manuals on how can I check the levels properly with my own laser level? Or it necessary to call a registered surveyor? A licensed surveyor is required to determine title boundaries. As others have said anybody can use dumpy level or laser level to produce a site contour plan. There are plenty of videos on youtube on how to use a laser level. I'm old school so I would probably use a dumpy level That's very helpful, thank you. I was mostly interested in knowing if a spoon drain requires a specific slope, but I appreciate the extra information. 4 3922 Thank you Splashers.
