Got this info from the builder today; apparently why site costs are $17k: The house is what we call a balanced cut and fill. That means the front will be cut in lower, the middle of the house will be at natural level and the rear of the house will be raised. The platform at the front will be cut in approx 300-400mm – but bear in mind the slab is 385mm high, so the floor level will be approx level with the footpath anyway. The rear is 300-500mm raised. All in all, not a very dramatic cut and fill. That’s the plan anyway, we’ll see how it goes once a survey is done and drafting draw it up properly. If the client then wants to pay extra to raise the or lower the whole house to create a look they are after we can look into that down the track. Saturday we are putting a deposit on the block. Broker said the only way we can borrow enough money is to reduce all credit card limits to $1k total - so that is now under way. Waiting (very impatiently) for pre-approval to come through... 7 weeks and counting. Wonder what the next drama will be?

At least you know where the house will be built now-and you won't have to compromise either! Does Spotlight have online shopping? I assume that link you sent me was to decorate MY guestroom!

Will investigate the online option! And yes, broker is grating my nerves. Don't p!ss off a woman with a 3 week old - they tend to be sleep deprived and grumpy.
