Thanks mate !!!! Good suggestion. I will look at that option if they come up with rediculous prices Re: Rock excavation!!!!

How much would it cost 20Jun 18, 2017 10:14 pm In Sydney, most councils don't let you cut more than a metre. Also, M do not allow internal drop edge beams of more than 700mm so I would be very concerned here also. Particularly since there is no provisional sum in your contract to provide for such an eventuality. It is very odd that the two boreholes didn't show the existence of rock. They go to at least 2 metres deep so they know what kind of piering will be required for the slab. Definately get out to site and try to see the rock for yourself. Speak to your neighbours if you can also to see if they know of any rock also. Question everything. For example, I've always wondered how M can make those luxury promotions for free. It really makes one wonder how they can remain profitable whilst other builders are going under? If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck.... maybe it is a duck.
