Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Single or Double story on battle axe block?? 19Jul 03, 2020 8:33 pm Bebbsy If your driveway is 51m long this will incur additional costs for utilities including water and sewage. When you speak to builders make sure they give you an estimated cost for these. Our driveway is 35m long, based on the builders advice $6,700 was added to the construction contract to cover the additional run from the road to the house. Unfortunately by end of the build this had increased to $11,500. So make sure you have a contingency in your budget for unforeseen costs. Thank you for pointing this out, B. My town planner has budgeted 10k for driveway as it would be 3x say 30m just up to garage area or a bit over. the rest of the 21m is an easement. i might just put some river stones or grass. Hope they don’t surprise me with big bill in the end. regards Sandy Re: Single or Double story on battle axe block?? 20Jul 03, 2020 8:39 pm gogo65 Like AlexP said I think your estimates of price for a new build are not accurate.
