It is very interesting on how can 1sq can have a difference of 15k given that the length and width of both floorplans is almost same. Did you get hold of the borehole logs (or is there some more info) that gives a better idea of footing type and depth? It's probably worth clarifying what fixed-cost includes and what it doesn't with them then work out how to control the potential additional costs.

Cheers, Hi firsthome2020, I can only see BH3 and a blank BH4. Was there supposed to be a log for BH1 and BH2? There is a level of risk if you only have one borehole log-I'm not saying it is a problem but I'd be looking to reduce that risk before signing a contract or at least control it as part of the contract if possible. Is there some DCP testing (a table with a column of numbers) as well somewhere? 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 13098 Is anyone building with Mojo and have a recent site cost tender 0 15952 Henley should give you some indication of site costs.
