Browse Forums Owner Builder Forum 1 Sep 19, 2011 4:45 pm Recently I have undertaken an owner builder project and in the process have bought a kit home through http://www.newhomeprojectmanagement.com.au. Thought I would create a post about it seeming as it looks like a lot of owner builders have a lot of questions. Anyways... I got frustrated after being quoted a difference of 15k between two quotes for the same design so I got them to source it for me. Ended up saving me $2,350 over my best quote and took a few days to finalize cost and what have you. Has anyone else experienced variations of 15k on kit home suppliers? I got the roof, floor system, piers, and wall framing included, plus I am now working with a builder which is making things a lot easier as a result. Look forward to hearing other peoples stories, I suspect lots of business's out there are taking the miky out of owner builder hence the massive difference in price. Re: Price of Steel Framed Kit Homes 2Sep 29, 2011 11:31 pm I built with Nu-steel homes and found the cost to get their guys to do some of the work was excessive. I have since heard that the manager at the time was getting quotes from his mates who were over quoting on prices (that manager is no longer working at the company) It is worth shopping around for prices, but you have to consider the quality of the work as well as the price. A few of the jobs I out-sourced were not up to my standard and I ended up re-doing them myself (inparticular the wet area screeding). Shop around and ask to see recent work to be sure you are getting what you are paying for.
