$600,000, at the sizes you have suggested is less than $1,500/m2.
$1,500/m2 is a useful benchmark for townhouse construction of a "modest" level of finish.

 

is that to say we won't find anything cheaper at that level of finish? 
I just don't know how much I should bother shopping around.

I'd hate to have major issues when there's more than 1 dwelling involved too

The only time I would contact them is when they're finally complete and I look for a tenant to rent one out?

I heard a lot of larger building companies (Henley homes etc) will only build on sub-divided land. 
So I just don't know which way to go about it. 

Do we even have to sub-divide at all? as we will still own both of them anyway….. (just need a separate letterbox for the other tenants…[Read more]

we've decided to build 2 units (unfortunately block is too narrow to build them side by side) 
we will live in one, – this could be for a few years 
and rent the other out

That's all I intended doing 
if I built them joining I would do it so as least 2 have their garages in between all the living areas 
maybe with the 3rd could give them slightly more space if plans allow it

I thought we would be able to make more money off 3? 
Thats if they fit for a start though?!

(permits etc, agent selling fees – is there anything else? 
how much may concreting be? is this something most builders will do for us?
