Browse Forums Building A New House Re: KDR - Eden Brae Homes 6Nov 09, 2018 12:37 pm hezmac Almost every builder charges a Northern Beaches council loading as they have to pay the tradies more to come here/work here or are from here or so we discovered. Some are $4000, some are $11000 - like everything, where you save on one thing they hit you with another! Don’t forget there is also another charge from the NB council themselves that is a % of your contract - just because!! A couple of thousand here for no reason too The other builder mentioned the % contribution that we have to pay to the council. Thank you for the information.

I know it is different from council to council...but I saw some builders charge $3 to $4K for most of the areas that they build. But I have an estimate of $10K for Northern Beaches council. Is this correct? Thanks. It’s the fee that EB will charge you on top of your other costs/inclusions to build in your area Thanks for the information Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes.
