Browse Forums Owner Builder Forum 1 Dec 17, 2008 2:11 pm Hi everyone
I am new to this forum, but I hope I can be of use to some of you. We are about to begin our project. We are building in Forrestdale, WA. At the moment we are getting quotes for our slab and earthworks. Seems a bit more than we hoped for. If anyone is owner-building in the area (or close by), I would love to hear from you. Perhaps we can share ideas etc Thanks Nina "The fearless are merely fearless. People who act in spite of their fear are truly brave" - James A.

We're owner-building in Yokine, which isn't exactly in the vicinity, but still in Perth metro. I can recommend a good earthworks outfit, PM me if you'd like a pointer. We're having our slab poured tomorrow, but I'm not as happy with the grano people, so I'm not sure if I'll recommend them.

I will be building at Canningvale which is very close to you. Now i also getting quote. Would you like to get along and ask someone to get quote for 2 project. I reckon the more we ask them to do it will be cheaper. Have your plan been approved yet ? I still waiting for my plan to approve.

This is another one from Perth who is a OB too. I have PM him to see if he would like to join our group to obtain quote. If he want to join this make up 3 of us and we can negotiate price with the contractor to bring the price down. Re: Looking for OB in our area to share ideas 5Jan 16, 2009 2:29 pm I'm a nearly finished OB. When I was at the ready to pour the slab stage I was being quoted $60 per cubic metre laid (that labour only to screed off the slab on the day of the pour). With 37 cubic metres it equates to $2,220, it was too rich for me. So I stuck a sign up "Concretor required", I got it done for $750 and the two blokes did a fantastic job.
