We are on a flat block. But the price difference is massive. Well I guess that’s not comparing apples to apples. Custom builders cost similar whether it’s to renovate or total rebuild, and the quote you got seems about right. You’ll get a better quality build and one designed specifically for your site, your lifestyle and needs. Volume builders don’t renovate of course, and are cheaper due to economies of scale. On the flip side, options are limited and site supervisors can be spread rather thinly over multiple builds, so quality can be affected.
