Site Survey

The site survey came back with some positives and some negatives. We knew the block had a slope on it and we expected the worst. The block has a 2.0m fall from front boundary to rear boundary. The sitting of the house has a 1.2m fall from front to back and all we have to cover is the 0.2m as wisdom allow for 1m fall in the price of the standard house package. This works out to be about $2000. We are also required to place a retaining wall along the southern boundary, but that comes later.

One other thing that not only hurt the budget a little but came as a surprise is the relocation of the kerb and guttering and replacement of the driveway. This is a moment where I wished we had rolling kerb and gutters as its $4000 to re do approx 6m of kerb and gutter.
