You might still end up choosing the 'cheapest' builder, but always ask the builder about their standard inclusions included, upgrade costs, site costs and any extra fees.
2. Develop a clear idea of what you want included and give the same list to each builder.Items that may not be included in the base price:
Site costs, Driveway, Landscaping, Fencing, Facade upgrades, Recycled Water, BAL modifications, Flooring, Air-conditioning & heating, 3 coat paint system, Overhead cupboards, Obscure glass in bathrooms.
3. It's important to check if all site costs have been included when comparing quotes.This may include:
Site infrastructure costs - like soil tests, temporary fencing, OH&S fees, council fees and insurances.
Site works- to prepare your site for the build, such as levelling out the site, removing rock, retaining walls, water & sewage connection.
