If they have a court record..DONT USE THEM. Best tip I can say. second best tip is if you are doing a bit yourself buy some second hand scaffolding...really useful for the build and need esp two story. Third tip search gumtree etc for new materials you may use in the build, our saving has been about $40,000 based on this method saving 30-60% .. good luck Hi Dunk, I am also in the planning phase, do you know how much it will cost for a class M Waffle pod slab in Melbourne north. price/m2? So besides slab cost you also need to consider the piers that you will requiring before concret slab is poured over.

Had to get Land Capability Report, soil report, footing designs Bushfire Attack Level report, working drawings, Owner Builder Consent to Build and do a White Card course. All paperwork is with Building Surveyor and we will get the Building Permit just before Christmas. Have kept a spreadsheet of al expenses so far. I have started putting jobs on Hi Pages for footings, framing and carpentry plastering, decking . Have started a new page with a record of the Tradies contacted with their emails and phone numbers and notes of what I sent and when. I will also include their quotes when I get them. When I have a complete breakdown of costs I will set up a Build Cost spreadsheet with estimated and actual costs as we go along. I will also add quotes for fittings air-cons, ceiling fans, floor coverings as accurately as possible before we start. Hope this is helpful. Not unless you have managed to put it as a special condition into the contract somehow. 1 6157 We are in NSW and require 2 positive covenants to be placed on the property didnt really underdtand this but apparently it will take a few months, and have just been… 2 7484 |
