Just wondering if anyone can help me? I am building in a rural area in East Gippsland Victoria about 100 km from the nearest large town and I was asking around for quotes for a foundation concrete slab. The specs are:
- 32 MPA for semi-polished concrete floors
- house foundation is a large rectangle 18m x 7.2m = 129.6 square meters
- raft slab
- soil classification is M
- fairly flat block 1 acre, I've talked to some excavators in the area who have excavated a house across the road and they said it was a low problem site
- easy access to site from the road
I have been receiving quotes between $30,000 to $38,000 including GST which includes site preparation and excavation, formwork, digging edge beams, pouring concrete and finish and a concrete pump.
The cost seems to be between $240/m2 to $292/m2. Does anyone know if these costs are reasonable or excessive?
