Cost is around 1650 / m2. Does this seem reasonable? Interested to hear of m2 costings of other 2 story custom builds. Thanks Matt I suggest you have a look at real completed projects with cornerless Stacker doors and price up the engineering/construction properly Forget the provisional sums attached to rendered Fake Artist images you need more accurate info. IMO, It sounds like you're in the $3-$5K/m2 range custom build eg Full height Doors with concrete slab above requires upgrade engineered cantilever inverted corner beams? I suggest you isolate the big ticket items as you don't want to be pulling them out at a later date and finding that the builders offering a miserly credit in return Gday StructuralBIMguy, The house is all timber - not suspended slab. It looks like the final cost wil come in @ around 1680m2. Talking to project builders around the Sunshine Coast - its very hard to get ideas on m2 rates as every custom is different. I know for larger top quality Project (non custom) homes in the 5 bed range 1250 gets a very good finish. But they have much larger bathrooms and less garage space than me also. Regards. Re: m2 cost for custom build sunshine coast 5Feb 06, 2020 8:27 am gogo65 Seems pretty reasonable, assume you will still have additional upgrades (floor to ceiling tiling, upgraded tiles, upgraded kitchen etc) and costs at colour selection time, plus potential site costs, basix costs etc Yes all that is coming now - cost will float up further yet but we are trying to manage that. We did have quite a few upgrades already factored in. Re: m2 cost for custom build sunshine coast 6Feb 06, 2020 8:52 am Finishes are one thing, hidden structural increases are yet another. Deleting that one column ends up costing you a fortune make no mistake the timber frame will need to be upgrade to a commercial steel frame to support the door system The finalising is usually done after you have handed over a deposit for preparation of final plans by means of variations Looking fwd to seeing your special doors Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: m2 cost for custom build sunshine coast 7Feb 07, 2020 12:31 pm StructuralBIMGuy Finishes are one thing, hidden structural increases are yet another.

That was done early on in the piece. We do have to upgrade from regular to commercial doors for this (from Bradnams) , but that's for the stacker doors themselves, not the engineering to make them corner less.We had to go commercial grade because so much glass in them. They also have an allowance of $8000 for screw piers required during the foundation stage. Not factored in yet is VJ cladding to some internal feature walls (quoted roughly 700-800 per wall for this), cabinet makers upgrades, taps/sinks upgrades, built in robes upgrades (doing this privately though), flooring upgrades (if we go for this at all), bathroom tiles on walls, some wood look aluminium cladding to underside of skillion roof. 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 34841 6 56192 Congrats.
