Found this thread on google. Looking to buy a house on southside Brisbane, which we can raise and build in underneath. Need extra rooms and bathroom. Any recommendations on businesses to contact regarding raising a house? What kind of costs end up being involved to raise and pour slab? Anyone looked into this recently (2008)? Thanks!

in order to get proper quote/s from the lifting guys and the builders you need to have plans, to get plans you need a pretty good idea of what you require and submit it to the draughstman/engineer, recommend CDS Drafting cdsdrafting@optusnet.com.au and then get the lifting guys recommend Budget House Raising @ Wynnum. earler in the post I mentioned costs to give you an idea, you will need to add probably 30% to the lifting costs now as steel costs have blown through the roof, but work on 200k to 250k for the full job, best of luck it's a big job but when your returns from grey to normal after its completed its all worth it Re: Quote for raising house and building underneath 60Jun 07, 2008 11:26 pm Thanks for that.
