I have included decking with my landscaping plan... they have approved. DA for decking should't take too long. Re: KDR Sekisui House St George 15Jan 24, 2016 6:08 pm The_Joneses Why did you need 2000mm from the double storey side wall? The sales guy at Sekisui said ours would be fine, and I think we have 1400mm on both sides (and it is double storey height on both sides of the house). 2000mm seems to be much greater than required by the CDC guidelines.... My next door neighbour is single storey house. Not sure if CDC have change rules now, at that time CDC requirement were to give 2000mm if the neighbour has single storey house.. With Hurstville Council DA requirments is double storey side wall is "1200mm" to the boundary. Re: KDR Sekisui House St George 16Jan 27, 2016 9:06 pm Last year we requested several demolition companies for a quote on our single storey fibro home. Quotes ranging from $15000 to $22000. Some of these demolition companies come by checked out the place and never reply. Of course we have selected the quote with $16500. We drop the cheapest one as reviews on that company wasn't good. Now that we have reconfirmed for demolition...they have come back with new pricing of $21500. $5000 jump! Not sure if the new price is justifiable. I must admit our new house footprint is a little smaller than our current house footprint. Please feel free to comment if this price is justifiable... ________________________ viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81624 Re: KDR Sekisui House St George 17Jan 27, 2016 9:09 pm I'd get another quote. They seem to all vary. Where one is good once next time (with someone else) it's not necessarily as good. I don't know why that happens but get someone keen for your business.

I don't know why that happens but get someone keen for your business. The demolition company has mentioned the price increase for demo is due to increased price at the tip. I should consider another quote but we already paid deposit and used their demolition plans to get demo approval from council. _____________________ viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81624 Re: KDR Sekisui House St George 19Jan 29, 2016 3:19 pm Booked in for gas disconnection. They say it's will take 4 weeks from the time of booking. Hopefully it's get done before demo date. Demo guys say they don't needs tiger tails for demolition. But we wants to hands in the vacant land asap to Sekisui. Therefore we likes to install tigertails even before demolitions. We were advice by Sekisui CSO,they are going to sent out SS to inform which lines need to be cover by tiger tails after demolitions. Should we go ahead and order tigertails or wait? Re: KDR Sekisui House St George 20Jan 31, 2016 3:35 am Do you know how much it is for the tiger tails? We are unsure if we will need them construction.
