Our h-class waffle pod slab was tendered at $7400, and the initial estimate of MH was priced at $4700. This is for a 34sq lowset home. Re: Building with Henley at The Chase in Berwick 17Aug 24, 2007 4:17 pm Hey Damo,
Think it is pretty much "the norm" with the colour selection coming before the tender. Carlisle do the same. Cheers, Mike.

Well hopefully that is not the case for us Re: Building with Henley at The Chase in Berwick 19Aug 25, 2007 6:53 pm Hi again Phoenix,
To answer your site cost question, I actually had to review what I'd written as Tender signing seems like eon's ago (especially with things moving so quickly now). Our slab remained an 'M' Class slab, but there were various factors (post demolition) that raised our initial tender cost by about $3000. That said however, they did not run into any rock despite a nearly $4000 rock allowance that I suspect will be refunded at the end of construction as well as the refund of one of the retaining walls and a few other little items that were not needed. The additional costs were due to extra dirt for fill, modifications to the retaining wall on our Eastern boundary and thickening of our slab on the Western boundary as it was built near the sewer line. Other than that, I suspect that our costs will come in somewhere around $15K to $16K, from an original quote near $20K. Will know for sure when we are all said and done, but hopefully that answers your query.
