ARE THERE ADDITIONAL COSTS IF WE ARE BUILDING OUR HOME IN A FLOOD, BUSHFIRE ZONE OR ON A HERITAGE LISTED SITE? Most likely – this is dependent on your local council and the requirements of your 10.7 certificate. We can identify these costs in the tender if you progress with a free site inspection.
WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS OF A KNOCK DOWN REBUILD OVER A RENOVATION?
Rebuilding a home can have a number of advantages over renovating – it can give you a clean slate and the ability to design a new home how you want it, as well as potentially having a quicker turnaround time than a renovation. You will also be able to build a home with new materials, and take advantage of structural warranties. Of course, there are also some disadvantages – you’ll need somewhere to live while the renovations are being carried out, and you’ll need to be careful you don’t contravene local zoning regulations or heritage listing requirements.
WHAT ARE SITE COSTS?
Site costs are the costs required to build your home on your specific block of land. These costs can be significant and beware, as not all builder’s estimates and tenders include your site costs. Site costs include, but is not limited to leveling out your land, and preparing services and connections for gas, water, sewer, stormwater, power, NBN, traffic management, BASIX and payment of fees to name a few.
Our base price includes standard site costs (excludes Duplex). Refer to our Inclusions brochures for more details.
