I am about to begin an OB home in Perth. Its said that OB costs should be no greater than that of project home builders, and these seem to range from about $600 per sq meter upwards. Yet, I am seeing figures of $1000 per sq meter for OB homes in these pages.
Of course, I need to get a good estimator to tell me what my design will cost, but the problem is that I cannt begin to design until I know how big a house I can afford. So I really need to have a feel for the cost per sq meter for single story, brick and steel houses. Does anyone have a realistic price for OB costs. I want to get as much floor area as I can, but I dont want to run out of cash before the house is finished.
