It says there is highly moist clay soil to the deepest part they bored till. Ys value is 40mm to 60mm. Can’t find the gradient on the report. Fall is minimal. All this makes no sense to me. Hope you can explain. We have budgeted for $60k on the quote for site costs as KDR site costs are always high. Won’t know the exact costs till house is demolished. I think H1 is pretty good for KDR. Usually is P. Re: KDR in Melbourne SE suburbs- Carlisle - Montpellier 51 12Jul 05, 2018 6:31 pm kirashogun Usually H1 on a flat block would be around 20$k but who knows what Carlisle will charge. I certainly expect it to fall below $60k. My guess between 20-30$k. Fingers crossed. Hope you are right.

They come highly recommended by Carlisle, Henley and Metricon. So going with them. Although we took 2 other quotes and those were cheaper. It seems sometimes the demolishers don't clear the site adequately. Then we may have to call them back which can cost more. So thought of going with DD as their reviews are good. The biggest plus point was that Adrian from DD came around and explained everything and Kim at their office is wonderful. Very helpful with suggestions. She even sent forms for electricity abolishment and rang the council for us to find out if we have any protected trees on our site. Thankfully there are none. So far so good. Looking forward to Saturday's colour browse FOLLOW MY BUILD: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=92532 Re: KDR in Melbourne SE suburbs- Carlisle - Montpellier 51 17Jul 09, 2018 7:54 am Hi gogo65, Colour Btowse was a bit rushed. We had one and half hour appointment. By the time we got to flooring section it was 4.30pm and they started closing down. The colour consultant was obviously in a rush to finish off. We did not get to electrical section at all. We have been told that we can go anytime & browse around. They have emailed the entire price list. Planning to go this weekend & next and make notes so that we are ready for the colour appointment.

What stage? Was that directed at me? Still waiting for concept plans from architect. Have been looking at appliances and trying to get an idea on what I want. Ours will be a fully custom home, so he gives us an allowance or if we know what we want, he’ll add it in to the tender. So no real hurry but it would be nice to know what direction my head is going in..., I can’t even decide what basic colour palatte 😩 Re: KDR in Melbourne SE suburbs- Carlisle - Montpellier 51 20Jul 09, 2018 8:46 am HoneyDee Hi gogo65, Colour Btowse was a bit rushed.

Good that you’ve still got a bit of time up your sleeve to work out what you want, having the upgrade prices will definitely help. Once you’ve got the basics it will all fall into place, it’s exciting and stressful all at once! We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard house before… 8 37150 Thanks for your reply! We're definitely not after a small house Might still have a chat to them. Who did you end up building with if you don't mind me asking? 2 2633 The biggest challenge will be if you take out a loan and then run out of money - you'll have an incomplete security and lenders do not like this so you can get stuck.… 2 19112 |
