Re: calculate fall and rough site cost 12Dec 21, 2021 7:00 pm Andrew1989 You will probably find most volume builders will charge you around $20-30k for site costs but that should be fixed. My builder was a smaller builder so I guess that is why I only paid $5k. I had a 8m3 rock allowance so it could have gotten costly if they dug up a lot of rock thankfully they didn’t. You have to read your contract carefully to make sure there are no additional costs you may incur. Appreciate the advice, thanks a lot Andrew. Cheers. Re: calculate fall and rough site cost 13Dec 21, 2021 11:27 pm I had a $35k provisional sum allowance for my site costs. My fall over the building area is about 1m or so. Anyway after the survey report came in they have given me P class slab and I apparently need a retaining wall 200mm off my boundary so my site costs is now $45k. My neighbour has their garage to the boundary so my builder had to order a footing probe to see if my retaining wall would cause any structural integrity to the neighbours slab. Apparently it's all good now. So that's just an FYI for you on my experience. But it depends on many different factors. Unfortunately you won't really know until you have the soil tests done.

Thanks a lot for your reply Kenny. I did have my soil tests done as per my post above. So just wondering, regarding your site cost, why wasn't yours fixed but provisional? Is it because land wasn't titled yet or soil test wasn't done yet?
