Hi there,
I’m after some advice from anyone who has gone the owner builder route.
We’re looking to build a single storey house in North West Sydney, roughly 235sqm.
Can anyone give any indication what their building costs were?
Thank you

Engaging a builder who is rather a PM/supervisor and acting in your interests rather than "what he is used to do" and then getting 25%-30% margin by cutting corners on structural works and providing you with "special" 2x-3x pricing on "builder range" inclusions. The only problem is the trust, as otherwise, you would have to very well aware of what is happening on your site and control the trades in one way or another, so you don't end up in situation when all the invoices are overly inflated for no reason. Another way is how you structure/deal with this relationship for your financing to be approved/sorted out. It is getting harder and harder to get those even for standard builds, for cost plus/owner builds it can be times more harder. Re: Building Costs - Your experience 17Mar 09, 2019 5:36 am Really does depend on level of fitout quality-and the cladding style/type. Have seen done for as low as $800 per sqm (super budget-or cheap and cheerful as associates call it) and $1,700 for upper end. That said we have seen "Glass" houses (where the whole thing looks like a set of joined windows) for $3,000 plus per sqm Put your financial needs in the hands of the leaders in the market.
