As you can see in my drawings there are no piers as it is all on rock and is because we have two retaining walls straddling it. We are also having out point of discharge moved 3m downstream to give us more fall from the basement ensuite that is going to be under our rear terrace. All up it is going to cost us just shy of $10k.Other quotes were similar. Some quoted around $6,000 for just the two concrete encasements.

I searched online it says 1m away from the outside edge, is this info correct?

I searched online it says 1m away from the outside edge, is this info correct? I tried to ask our builder, they tended to ask you to sign the tender and pay deposit then start this process. I don’t want to lock myself into something I don’t know how much it’s going to cost me. Re: Build over/next sewer and overland flow 13Apr 11, 2021 9:42 pm We are having this same issue. We have been given a 30k allowance for sewer encasement and costs associated subject to sewer peg out. Massive blow to the budget so much we had to remove the pool. We ordered reports but can't find depth. Seems opposite corner who have sewer line running up side same as us have not encased theirs . Cab we request a copy of Wosdom sewer peg out to get independent advise before going any further. We offered to pay for sewer peg out before signing contract but they will only accept the one they order to give us final costs and we had to sign contract before they would do that Re: Build over/next sewer and overland flow 14Apr 11, 2021 9:48 pm Hi Lindsey, are you going to build over the sewer or next to it. I am wondering if it makes any difference in term of the cost. We have limited the size of our house, if the cost will be the same, I prefer to build a bigger one. I also spoke to the builder to order the peg out and get more accurate cost for this part before we sign the contract, I have not heard anything back yet. I don't really want to sign some thing that I have no idea what it's going to cost, I have PC sum for 10k for encasement and you have it for $30k. I am confused now. Re: Build over/next sewer and overland flow 15Apr 11, 2021 10:05 pm Hi our sewer line appeared after land registration and our solicitor told us it would be no issue however Wisdon are saying we are building too close to it ( runs across the front and up the side , corner block ) ours is 10m for encasement and 20k for an associated cost for sewer. I will check my contract and let you know. We aren't willing to change the size of our home so just hoping the report comes in and it is not deep and costs are less. We are also chasing builder from opposite corner as to why they have not touched the sewer line which is in same location for the build they are doing. Re: Build over/next sewer and overland flow 16Apr 11, 2021 10:07 pm 10k for building adjacent provision and 20k allowance for encasement is ours Re: Build over/next sewer and overland flow 17Apr 12, 2021 4:55 am Lindseytam 10k for building adjacent provision and 20k allowance for encasement is ours Lindsaytam So you can compare, it costs us around $600/lineal metre to encase a sewer and then you have to allow some money fo design fees and other stuff. So if you are encasing a 10m sewer it would be fair to allow a budget of $1000/metre or $10,000 as a guide good luck Simeon Simeon McGovern Affordable Custom Homes, We design and build to your budget Ashington Homes www.ashingtonhomes.com.au Re: Build over/next sewer and overland flow 18Apr 28, 2021 12:39 pm Hi, I just had Peg out done yesterday, still waiting for the report, I was told that the sewer pipe is 2.05m deep from the manhole on my driveway, what does this mean to my build? I am sure I will have more information once the building company gets the report, just want to know more info about it. My current plan is to build next to it (within a meter), if the requirement would be the same for building over it, I may choose a bigger one and build over it. Re: Build over/next sewer and overland flow 19Apr 28, 2021 6:50 pm It means you are going to need piers probably around 1.7 to 1.8m deep to get down past the zone of influence if you are looking at building only 1m away from the sewer. Stewie You may still have a case, but your next step is to speak to a lawyer. 3 1713 Hi everyone, Looking for some advise. We are about to build an above ground pool in our backyard. There is a private sewer line running under the pool at 1.6m… 0 11906 I think you are getting different numbers because they all just based them on "other jobs" even though each job is unique.
