Yeh am aware we would be charged if we change after. So you made changes for AC and were charged $1000 But this change was subject to engineering. And you made more changes after engineering and they didn’t charge you was it ? Sorry. Am in a process for this and they are not replying. Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 14379Feb 11, 2019 11:49 am Kery_deep CG Scardycat Kery_deep Hi all, Just got our plans from Mcdonald Jones. Can see a 36 m retaining wall. From 600 mm to 900 mm max heights. Any idea how much can that cost. Timber or brick ?? Do we need to get it done before or after the built. Am aware can do at landscaping stage normally. But just to check. Any help appreciated. Before or after build depends a bit on your builder and what they want you to do for your site specifically. As for cost, I'd expect a 5-figure price tag for a fully installed retaining wall, possibly more if your council requirements include engineering for any walls over 600mm. I have one 27m long wall and one 14m long one and the costs were shocking with the first quote. Thank you very much for your reply. Getting nervous. Did you get any better quote and if I can get the details would be helpful. Hills area or nearby, if it is ? Just found this post , we are currently building in North kellyville and will have similar size retaining wall.Was wondering did you end up getting a quote ? How did you go with your retaining wall build.

For this we were told they need to put a valve or liver or so to avoid contamination of water etc to the pipes. The cost quoted to us is $10,000 for 2 x WC to provide this provision. No Bidet to be fitted, only extend clear water pipes to get it close to the 2 x WC’s with a plug to avoid water flow. How does the price sound for the job and what can be the price ?? Any advise ? All plans are finalised, this was requested after. Thank you Hi AKG, We had a base tender of $592 for 31 squares from MC Donald Jones. It looks relatively cheaper than other builders.
