I didn't know that you might be able to defer the payment and I will look into it... why pay before you have to. In the application you have either the option of having the build priced by a qualified person or base it on $3000 per sq mtr. In any case, if the build is over$100, 000 you have to have it signed off by a qualified person. I think it worthwhile as it will give me a better idea of what I'm letting myself into. Cost blow out or underestimating the build seems to be the major problem on the life style shows I like to watch. As far as the doing it myself bit goes, I figure it will probably be the last big thing I do in my life and I see it as an adventurer. I designed it and now I want to build it. What could possibly go wrong 😀 Re: First time owner builder 28Apr 21, 2018 1:05 pm civarow HI Bruce, how are you going with the new build? what's the progress? regards henry Have you built or building? From previous conversations, I can't see if you are or had. Regards, Bruce Re: First time owner builder 29Apr 22, 2018 6:30 pm Hi Bruce, It is nice to hear you are progressing along. I recalled you mentioned before that what can be wrong, if we are building our own house! lol. I am waiting for the last bit of approval from the council for Driveway level, then I am on my way with the CC. I plan to start in July with the demo.
