Sub-Division Steps

Hi 

Driveway Last.  No damage from machines digging up for other stuff.  Others depends more on coordination of trades.

Good luck

5. Driveway

You may be able to do the driveway earlier if the access to the block can be from another side.

Hi Rachel,

You need to worry about the rainwater tanks prior to building. If its above ground then thats generally fine (although the excavator may need to create a level if applicable for the tanks to sit on) however if its underground then its cheaper for the excavation to dig up the hole when he is excavating the rest of the site. Do this yourself with the excavator instead of getting the builder to do it.

To give you an idea – on one of my developments I did the storm water and rainwater tanks for about $6,000 whereas the quote I got from the builder was $22,000.

An excavator is the person who sets up the stormwater drainage. Is this an owner builder job or do you have a builder? In either scenario you need to make sure that the excavator is on the same page as the builder.

If you are in Sydney I have probably the 2 best excavators in the business. Most importantly they are trustworthy! There are a lot of shonky excavators out there.

Oh I see no worries – I have pm'ed you the details of the excavator. If he says the job is too small then I can give you the details of another equally as good excavator.
