Hello all just finalising my house makeup at present here in Tassie.
I am having a single level, 24 square house on a relatively level block built , with a standard size and number of windows, external doors and double garage frontage.
I have been estimated approx $11,000 extra cost to use a locally obtained sandstone block in leiu of traditional brick.
This seems quite dear to me, any thoughts anyone?
A comparitive table produced by the blockmakers dated 2005 shows a figure of like $82 / metre for sandstone compared to $75 / metre for traditional brick, this is an average / likely figure obtained in 2005.
This doesnt seem to account for the extra $11,000 to me.
Any one have thoughts on brick prices in their states?
Thanks
