Browse Forums Building A New House Re: What’s included in site works of the footing cost? 5Aug 13, 2020 3:21 pm Rainey Wood We are building a house in northeast of Adelaide. Our footing cost is $55k for siteworks, $7k for excess soil removal, $4k for stormwater, and $3k+ for some other costS, so all together our footing cost is nearly $70k which is ridiculous for a not fancy suburbs. Can anyone please explain what site works include? Someone told us we might be ripped off as some costs are already included in the site works and we have been charged for the same costs twice. Thank you in advance. Hi Rainey I'm actually looking at a block in Hope Valley and going to sign a contract and then saw your post. Do you mind me asking how big your place is sq m (house rather than land) and whether it's a sloping block ? PM me your email. I have a build excavation calculator you can use based on your plans to double check what your builder is telling you. Cheers Simeon 1 8012 Fair Trading can issue orders to rectify and complete but once the matter goes to NCAT these orders are automatically vacated. You will have to terminate contract and sue… 21 25338 yep sounds good make the footing bigger to to allow for the pipe in the middle 3 5284 |
