And what sort of price have people paid before?? Re: Building the Simonds Cleland 233 in SA 18Mar 05, 2019 7:35 pm And it begins !! Our block has started to be leveled today sooo much more soil than we thought (about 300 ton) but it will be worth it leveling the entire block instead of just where the house sits all the soil will be removed this weekend and then with some luck footings next week 🤷♂️ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Building the Simonds Cleland 233 in SA 19Mar 05, 2019 11:16 pm Good luck with the build, we built with your builder several years ago but totally different part of the country. We ended up with a fairly good house but had to keep a close eye on things. Getting an independent inspector will be worthwhile.....we used the municipal inspectors ourselves. Just curious with the soil removal, is that cost on you guys or was it included in your contract? We also have some soil to remove and it is strange to me that the builder's don't actually just get rid of it straight away themselves. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Check our Homeone build blog here Re: Building the Simonds Cleland 233 in SA 20Mar 06, 2019 7:59 am darb74 Good luck with the build, we built with your builder several years ago but totally different part of the country.

Yeah we will be on top off it all , Simonds have a really good reputation here in SA and the SS in our area i have heard all good things about so fingers crossed its a smooth process but there is always going to be some defects i'm sure! Luckily we were able to do all the site cut and soil removal ourselves. So its definitely worth asking the question as you can save big money!
