We are not off to a great start our tender came back 60k over expected. Yay! All due to site costs, things we have no control over.
Hi Needamoneytree,
We sort of had the same experience but on our second tender after changing measurements of a few things. the second tender has things like scaffolding and drop beams etc which added 11k to the tender. I questioned them especially why I'm being charged with scaffolding when I'm only building a single storey. Anyway to make the long story short I contacted the head office who then sent someone to check our land. They did say that we had a 1.5meter drop at the back and the 88B instrument indicated that they need beam dropped to address this matter etc (too technical that I asked husband to understand it)
Anyway from $11k they changed it and only charged us $5K.
You are allowed to question what they have put there and to make you understand it better.
Good luck on your journey. Looking forward to your development updates here.
Just waiting fur the new plan to finish and cdc approval I believe.
Thanks tapasr_Lexia4, can not wait for the day that we can post some progress shots. At the moment land is to register March.
