I know need to get quotes but is this something that is under $5K or less - I have no idea! Also waiting on quotes to come back for the deck, just wondered if anyone had a guide of maybe sqm price? The exclusion list to finish off really adds up! Our plumber quoted us around $1500 to do our stormwater I spent 5k but also did some surface drainage because of the size of our site and the slope. We also used 100mm pipes rather than 90mm as they are stronger .

We will be needing quotes for stormwater later too as I think a budget for ours of 1500 for our block and house is not enough ps we are building in northern adelaide too and looking forward to following other builds and sharing Lil gems along the way..ps any one building in the playford council you can use this site to monitor your council application process https://epathway.playford.sa.gov.au/ePa ... pired.aspx Re: South Australia builds 153Feb 16, 2016 9:20 pm Hey Heatherkam! We're building in the playford council too! Where abouts are you building? Re: South Australia builds 154Feb 16, 2016 9:22 pm meshelf Our land settlement went through today! Feeling excited just be glad when things are locked in with a builder and things are rolling. Yay! Congrats!! Re: South Australia builds 155Feb 16, 2016 9:28 pm Thanks Shambi, I'll have to read up what surface drainage is...we are on a 2.5m down slope and storm water easement at back, so might be more of an issue for us? I'll have to see what the builder quotes. Hi heatherkam! It's handy to know the council links I checked mine today, around us is about 50/50 on single vs double I was getting worried we were going to be the only single story around us haha - probably silly thing to be concerned about! Anyway be good to share some gems along the way for sure. Thanks for the congrats CustomStirling Re: South Australia builds 156Feb 16, 2016 9:42 pm Hey customstirling we are building in blakes crossing how about you?
