It appears to be a cut and paste of the tender with variations at the end along with a magic final amount (which does not take into account any deposits already paid). I went through with a fine tooth comb and reconciled everything with my variations. All appears in order. Feel like I’m missing something. I’m awaiting an amended DEP which includes BASIX. Asj1981 the incorrect door heights (in submission plans) are not in the DEP but I’m assured by my CSR that they will all be fixed and accurate on the construction plans. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 13608Dec 07, 2018 10:17 pm Manhattan52 ASJ1981 Hi guys, some advice please.... When i first joined the thread, I have heard a few terms here and there about Transitional Drop Edge Beams etc etc, but i wasn't at that stage yet. Now i am! Anyway, received a Variation today for almost 9k for this and nearly fell off my chair. Has anyone contested this and/or asked their CSR to provide more info. I don't want to sign anything without knowing anything about what this is and if it's "accurate". I remember reading that some have actually asked for site costs to be re-evaluated and found that WH has estimated wrong.... Ours were $20k but we knew we needed them. Our land is relatively flat, or so we thought. $15k for ours! Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 13609Dec 08, 2018 6:27 am becks81 Thanks all for the advice re DEP.

For example I had a $15k credit at Colours with my promo and that was also missing on mine.

Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 13617Dec 10, 2018 1:20 pm Hi guys: I had my slab down on 30/NOV.And get touch with wisdom landscaping consultant last week. That is a very nice guy to talk with.But this morning I had received quote for site preparation,it’s for level the back yard for laying lawn ,stock turf underlay for landscaping work.and say all the fill will still remain on site .it will be 1430/load for remove. Did any one get wisdom do the landscaping? I feel the site preparation normally should start after house finish?It will be weeds everywhere after 10-12m months?Anyone has ideas of it? Many thanks Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 13618Dec 10, 2018 2:13 pm that's extremely expensive for soil removal. Is that price for a 12t load or a 23 tonne load? A 23 t load should be no more than about $990. I can shoot you a number if you like Simeon McGovern Affordable Custom Homes, We design and build to your budget Ashington Homes www.ashingtonhomes.com.au Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 13619Dec 10, 2018 2:49 pm home_17 - dont go for site preparation now. This is my experience :- I received the same call and I said No. During my landscaping appointment (which will be later during you build - 28 weeks approx) I agreed for land prep for $1600. Soil removal quoted for $1300 / trip, which we thought was too much. I got the land prep but got them to leave the soil which they said will be left at the driveway. I had a guy come in yday who charged me $900 but shame that underneath that soil was ton of sand and left over concrete which W should have removed after the build. Also I am not very happy with the land prep either. My landscaper need to prep the land again. I wonder if they have prep the land for us even before the build, it would have been much worst. Trade goes in and out dumping things. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 13620Dec 10, 2018 4:07 pm Hi All, I’m new to this forum.
