Re: Sydney - Inner Suburbs - Boutique Builder Costs 5Sep 08, 2023 7:16 pm Why such dramatic difference? Due to suspended slab? Cause last time I calculated the cost of double brick walls vs cost of Hebel/brick veneers were quite similar? Or this is the premium for chasing electricals/plumbing which adds up? Re: Sydney - Inner Suburbs - Boutique Builder Costs 6Sep 10, 2023 9:30 am alexp79 Why such dramatic difference? Due to suspended slab? Cause last time I calculated the cost of double brick walls vs cost of Hebel/brick veneers were quite similar? Or this is the premium for chasing electricals/plumbing which adds up? Alex It's everything. 1. To take the weight of the double brick walls and upper slab, the ground floor slab will need to be strengthened. Most likely 32MPA either strip footing slab or raft slab. These types of slabs are more expensive than a typical waffle slab. 2. All of the lower internal walls will need to be either double brick or dincel to carry the weight of the upper slab 3. All of the internal wall will need furring chanels for the gyprock to attached to. Depending on the size of the house this can cost anywhere between $15-25,000 4. Rough-ins cost extra 5. Then there is the cost of the upper suspended slab which can run at around $450-500/sqm 6. The stairs, no doubt these will need to be formed and concreted as well So it all just adds up. Hope this makes sense Cheers Simeon Architectural Homes & Duplexes - specialising in custom designing homes to your budget Get a Free Onsite Consultation Today or send a PM for information, questions or advice. Re: Sydney - Inner Suburbs - Boutique Builder Costs 7Sep 10, 2023 9:46 am Hi everyone I was just thinking, if anyone else is interested in a detailed break up of the cost of a double brick home, PM me and I will send the spreadsheet to you. Also, if anyone wants the cost of a typical timber framed home ( either brick veneer or Hebel) let me know as well and I would be more than happy to share. FYI, these spreadsheets are based on the costs that our trades charge us, if you are an owner builder you may be able to get different pricing. but you can use these as a guide to get started with your project. We do our best to account for everything you will need for a typical build, from site set up, materials, rubbish removal, landscaping and cleaning etc. They are the budgets we use to price homes that we build. cheers Simeon Architectural Homes & Duplexes - specialising in custom designing homes to your budget Get a Free Onsite Consultation Today or send a PM for information, questions or advice.

Messaged you for this. Re: Sydney - Inner Suburbs - Boutique Builder Costs 9Sep 14, 2023 9:43 pm Hey Simeon, absolute beauty of an idea PMd for details. Trev Re: Sydney - Inner Suburbs - Boutique Builder Costs 10Sep 15, 2023 5:14 am Hi Everyone, Just a reminder, I have a costing for a basic double brick home, rendered brick veneer, and a Hebel clad timber frame home. They aren't overly sophisticated ( they are quite simple to follow) but we manage to run our business from them quite easily, so they are a handy start point of understanding costs. The spreadsheets have every category of trade we personally use, but they are based on our trade prices in our area of Sydney ie yours might be different. But you can use them as a template in your area, you just need to update the measurements and rates for your own build. Anyhow, if you want them, don't forget to include your email in the PM you send me.
