Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Fixed site costs 5Nov 09, 2020 12:33 pm Hi, We are planning to build in Smiths Lane 2. I am in contact with couple of builders. Carlisle, Henley, Urbanedge and SJD. Out of all these, only SJD site cost was reasonable. Rest gave very generalized site cost, which with further back and forth questioning with one of the Builder, it came out that they cannot give you fixed site cost until they do designing and soil test n all. N to do that you have to give deposit. So if quote you got,$17000( you post mention $1700 only), then its round about right. If there is no big fall on your plot then expect to have less than this amount. So initially they all give higher site cost, to avoid any future surprises. All builder i contacted they mention smiths lane plots looks good and doesn't require as much filling, but you never know what comes out when they start digging and leveling. On other note, do anyone here think SJD quality is comparable to Henley or carlisle? Cheers Re: Fixed site costs 7Apr 23, 2021 1:15 pm Ap2007 Hi, We are planning to build in Smiths Lane 2.

I am not sure whether Perth has its own way of doing things in regards to this. Most of Perth has class A (sandy soil), except for some areas near rivers or hills. 2 12979 Is anyone building with Mojo and have a recent site cost tender 0 15903 Henley should give you some indication of site costs. Too many variable to give you any reasonable accuracy 1 1827 |
