We will probably end up about 50k more than a project builder, but that is purely due to quality of finishings (ie solid timber floorboards throughout etc, options that we most likely would have had to do ourselves at handover if going with a project builder). We're looking at between 12k to 15k per square, depending on final engineering and final builders quotes. Project homes are generally between the 8 - 11k per square, with many varying factors. That's just from what I've read on here & researched. The only true way to know your slope is to get the contour plan done. We did our own before selecting a designer / builder as we wanted control over owning the contours etc (if you get them done through a project builder, they will own them unless you have written permission to use them should you choose not to go through with the project home build). Re: Which project home builders for sloping blocks? 17Dec 07, 2015 6:11 am The issue with costs is a little confusing. However, if a good designer creates a unique design to suit the site it may not be more expensive than the price paid to a volume project builder. One has to take into account the big excavation, risk of rock, spoil removal, and retaining walls/drainage. It is not apples with apples but what is most important surely, is the outcome and achieving your desired effect. cheers Those span tables can be pushed a little for a low deck if you dont mind a little flex.
