There were no provisional costs in my contract and the site costs were "fixed", for want of a better word, as the price in my tender was the same in my contract. Im building in pimpama on h1 soil, and the soil report did say there was rock, but not enough i guess to charge hitting rock. Also I was told I would need a retaining wall, and my ss said at the start of my build we'll revisit whether its needed after bricks are done. Im at pci now and no wall was needed. Manhattan hey! There are quite a few of those going on right now.

Re: Any hidden charges with Coral homes or on land purchase? 12Jul 20, 2016 9:46 am Hey Nikki We are also building with Coral, I second everything that Von has said. We definetly have not had any hidden costs or suprises, We have found Coral to be very open and honest during our admin phase. If they already own the land you would think that they would have already conducted the soil testing and be aware if there are any BAL requirements.. These are the questions id be asking.

They said they sold the last of their land so we have to purchase our land in the next land release in 2 weeks. I was told there were no site costs but after reading everyone's comments there are site costs. Can I ask what your site costs were please? Any hidden charges with Coral homes or on land purchase? 14Jul 20, 2016 10:17 am Nikki_c Thank you for your reply. They said they sold the last of their land so we have to purchase our land in the next land release in 2 weeks. I was told there were no site costs but after reading everyone's comments there are site costs. Can I ask what your site costs were please? I just read over my contract, and site costs for cut/fill pad was $4860 which DID include rock excavation as required,$1400 for removal of site spoil $7606 for h1 slab,$3826 for piering. There will be additional costs in contract that will be in tender, such as surface water grates, power connection , council fees, certifier costs, and additional onsite charges such as temp fencing etc. You get a credit or refund if temp fence does not get put up during entire build. All other allowances would be included in contract at 0 cost. Again, all site costs in my contract were in my tender with no change in figures. Hope this helps!
