Hi all,
Thanks for your advice Breece.
so I'm down the track now, we have our planning permit after deciding to use a building design firm to submit drawings and application to council. Process has been fairly easy as we have a design we are really happy with – side by side double story 212 square meter town houses. I'm just wondering what a ball park figure for architectural drawings, engineering and other documentation required for building permit should cost. I just got the quote back from the building designer of $12.5k and this seems like a lot to me, especially after we have already paid around $17k for the planning permit. Any advice here would be great. Cheers
Hi Maurice,
Metricon have just given me an estimate the base price is $260K with some allowances it they estimate about $315k each dwelling. I have allowed the rest for demolition. they need to do some preliminaries before they will give me a price specific to our site. We are at the start, need to demolish and build and all the planning and permits.cheers
Hi Brisboy,
How did you choose to proceed with the project? has it worked out for you?
Hi All,
Sorry to highjack this thread. I am looking to build a duplex on a 15m x 40m block in Heatherton. Does anyone know a quantity builder with some spec plans? Metricon have the “Kooyong” which seems perfect but at 650K for the 2, it seems very expensive. is this expensive? I am tossing up wether to go down the line of architect/draftsman/tender to builder approach or if i can find a builder with spec plans it may cheaper and quicker. I am also considering going owner builder.
any advice on the issue would be great.
This is the link to the kooyong:
