Browse Forums Building A New House Re: What exactly is included in Fixed Site Costs? 4Aug 29, 2009 1:30 am When I simply put in a house order (burbank) they included all the inclusions and exclusions. Standard is fixed site costs, within limits. Hell, the order is just here I'll detail it. Its a standard copy. Site Allowance - $5,800 - 0-1000mm fall. Rock Excavation and removal, surplus soil and spoil removal for lots up to 700m2. Bored concrete piers to 450m diamater. Waffle pod slab up to and including P class slab. Survey, soil, site clears, sleeper retainer walls, etc. If your builder has'nt made it clear - damn, make them make it clear. Re: What exactly is included in Fixed Site Costs? 5Sep 01, 2009 6:29 pm I am so confused with my site cost as well. I was told by the sales consultant that 'all site costs are included'. Now after the engineering report etc, I have to: Upgrade the concrete from M class to H - $4400 Additional cost of slab, reinforcement, bored piers etc - $3500 Rock removal (provisional sum cost) - $ 3000 Double handling due to wet site condition etc (provisional) -$1500 Termite protection -$1700 Is this normal? That's almost $15000 more. Why would they say that 'all site costs are included'? I should have come to this forum earlier, and I would have asked them 'what's included'. Are there any regulations somewhere that protect me against such matter? customer acts etc? Re: What exactly is included in Fixed Site Costs? 6Sep 01, 2009 10:47 pm I think this is not normal. Termite protection should be included in your house price. Wet side condition? I think you shouldn't pay for this. Contact dept of fair trading and ask their advice.

Re: What exactly is included in Fixed Site Costs? 7Sep 01, 2009 11:24 pm just out of interest who are you building with Dia? Re: What exactly is included in Fixed Site Costs? 8Sep 04, 2009 10:56 am Thanks for the responses. After a couple days of complaining, my builder (B--tique) .. they told me that they are going to honor the initial deal, that site costs are included in the house and land package. Now, learning from this forum, I have asked them to amend the contract, listing what exactly is included in Fixed Site Costs. I still haven't heard from them. My pre-start is next Thursday. I hope I get the new contract before that. Are there anything else I should be aware of before signing the building contract? Re: What exactly is included in Fixed Site Costs? 9Sep 06, 2009 10:59 pm Check if they already include connections to : stormwater, electricity, sydney water, recycle water, telstra/phone, gas, hot water.

Re: What exactly is included in Fixed Site Costs? 10Feb 06, 2012 2:19 pm Hi All, I build with m3tr1c0n, there is 2 options, - Fixed site cost - $13000, including any rocks removal - Not fixed - $9500 based on Geosite program. after that I told them to use Not Fixed as my land in williams landing potentially flat. but a bit risk though Suddenly m3tr1c0n said to me that I can get rebate if the site cost is lesser. Should I believe them and choose fixed site cost? Here is what he said... " now we can offer fixed site costs, if the actual costs come lower, m3tr1c0n will refund you the balance, if higher, we will pay it, not you. So you get total peace of mind " Any experience ? Thanks Re: What exactly is included in Fixed Site Costs? 11Feb 06, 2012 3:33 pm So Carlisle is giving out fixed site costs for 13500, and is this including Council Costs? My Site Cost was put at 15k Site Cost + 3.5k Council Costs in the Tarneit Area. Stage 18. What was the size of your homes being built? Mine is 36sq home, so would this be a reason. Well I am trying to figure out which risk to take.. Fixed Site Cost or wait till Soil test...?!! hey there! 😊 so, it’s kinda common for standard drawer depths to be around 500mm since most cabinets use this size to fit the usual runners… 3 21109 Is anyone building with Mojo and have a recent site cost tender 0 16052 Henley should give you some indication of site costs. Too many variable to give you any reasonable accuracy 1 1905 |
