I waited patiently all day for the quote today! There were a few surprises but overall it was pretty much as we'd worked it out to be. One thing I wasn't expecting though was the $550 cost for provision for NBN. I guess this is just a sign of the times, so I'm not bothered by it ... just hadn't factored it in thats all.
Overall site costs Building, Statutory & Basix costs came in at a total of $41,200 - most of these are fixed but there are a number of provisionals, so we'll need to set aside some sort of contingency for that. Of course there is also the possibility that we will get a credit for those (we can only hope!).
We also asked them to quote for a stencil crete driveway. We had been advised that it would probably be expensive, but to get a quote anyway just as a guide. It came in at $12,000 which is pretty high, so we'll be doing that ourselves after completion, along with a host of landscaping. Thats all going to be pretty costly, but again, we're hoping that we've budgeted ok for it!
So ... we're meeting with Allworth tomorrow to run through it all and to tee up any changes, and then we'll move on to the next step.
Our cooling off on the land ends next Friday.
This weekend will be spent getting the house ready for the all important Real Estate photos on Tuesday. Here's hoping we get someone who falls in love with it as much as we did and gives up top dollar! That would just be the icing on the cake! :)
