Sounds like you got a pretty good deal.
Yes that seems to be how things work in Perth. For a single storey home you can get really good value but as soon as you look at double-storey the costs increase at a rate that is hard to fathom.

Sounds like you got a pretty good deal.
Have just completed two side-by-side two-storey, 4 bedroom x 3 bathroom townhouses (220m2 floor area each) in southwest suburb of Melbourne.
High spec fitout including aircon, polished boards, SS appliances, landscaping, paving and fitout. Building contract was approx $320,000 each thereby making construct cost approx $1450/m2.
Note this did not include consultants fees (architect, surveyors, local council etc).
Ditto!cool - come over to WA... got plenty of work for you at $1000sqm for 2 storey!

Are you happy with the job these guys did for you, and if so, are you able to supply the name of the company?
The Builder's were Paul and Richard Clayton (0418621057/0409705655). They did a great job and do plenty of work in the area.
Townhouses are currently being advertised for lease and I attach link below:

Frank, I have sent you a PM.

Sailesh, you don't want to tender for my MUH build in Mona Vale do you?
In fact, I will be tendering this in the next couple of months so if anyone knows of a good builder that does medium density stuff in Sydney and would be happy to build in the Northern Beaches then post or PM me their details so I can invite them to tender.
Cheers,
Michael

Ausprop,
I built my house four years ago, contract price was $270K. This figure does not iclude floor coverings, internal painting, landscaping etc, we ended up spending about $70K finishing it off. My FIL is a new homes salesman for Beaumonde Homes and these are the figures that he has indicated to me , using their most recent sales prices as a guide. I've even done a stint in the display home but really didn't enjoy it
As for Celebrations, I've built 6 houses with them over the last few years and agree that $200k for a 200sqm house is about on the money, however, this would include all internal/external finishes ie turn key.

Hi Joe,
I am proposing to construct 2 double story side by side townhouses in Ormond, Melbourne and will soon be on the lookout for a good builder that won't cost the earth.
The architect is busily working on the plans so it's still 6 months+ before we are in a position to build. I have chosen to go medium to medium/high quality and have decided that it must have 4 bedrooms and min. 2 bathrooms.
I had an informal chat with one builder recently and he gave me a ballpark figure of $350K - $375K per dwelling based on what I wanted, but to be honest, my budget for the project would allow for a cost of more like $300K - $350K per dwelling.
Are you happy with the job these guys did for you, and if so, are you able to supply the name of the company?
Thanks in advance,
Frank.
