Our footing allowance is at 55k at the moment. We would need 1100 deep footings i reckon. May i know how much your footing
The footings/site costs originally allowed for were 60k, then after the soil tests it went up to 66k.

I put in quite large allocations (sometimes double what they initially suggested), but as I'm finding it doesn't mean much if the unit pricing is huge. I have the usual stuff concreting, carpets/tiles, storm water, heating/cooling as allocations etc, but after receiving a few surprising quotes for things, I've had to remove them and unfortunately come up with many tens of thousands post build to finish it off (bank won't pay for things done post handover). So far I've taken heating/cooling and concreting out, as the heating/cooling offering wasn't what I was after (what they did offer seemed reasonable pricewise) but the mark-up on concreting seemed excessive, as they were offering plain concrete for top shelf aggregate pricing. It worries me that when I get to selecting carpeting/tiles (which have very generous allocations for) I'll be offered bottom shelf items. Edit: I should say that for everything they otherwise quote on (e.g. alterations and the like), the pricing has been fine and sometimes surprisingly little. Its just the items they are obviously getting third parties to come in and complete that seem a tad expensive. I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature. Nice pick with the paint colours! 1 34823 6 56160 Congrats.
