Need to know wha the spec is for 1200 sqm, I worked out around 1300 sqm for my last build in Perth and that was high spec.

Yes sanj it was The project manager let slip on completion that the brickies who lived NOR preferred to work in these areas and because they had a choice they struggled. It does make sense as at the time he was a small operator and my build and g/friends were first SOR, can't help bad luck...

That's very interesting, sign of the times. This also means they will travel wherever they need to go for work, my builder could not get the brickies to go south of the river, once again causing delays on my project Mir:)

Nice, cash is king at the moment. Will you be accessing equity, end values important if this is part of the strategy Mar:)

I consider a mix of both. Hold and sell, just depending what makes it cash flow positive and market conditions Building in peak is a pain as you mentioned, delays etc. which in turn eats into your bottom line. In terms of building in a downturn there would be positives for sure, ie...

Sorry Jamie, I definitely got confused, Totally get it. I best stop using drugs:p:

Don't listen to sales people, they have a vested interest, it's all smoke and mirrors, look at the facts. market condition today is all that matters, Supply vs demand My builder said he is already offloading, not the case 9 months ago. We are now in a downturn, not boom, this effects all...

I don't believe the prices have dropped yet, but probably due to the projects they currently still have on their books. I met up with my accountant this morning he said his developers are trying to offload asap and not buying as market conditions getting worse and waiting to see if there are...

That is super cheap, you must be using a spec builder, no fruit??

Aircond forms part of the specification, aircon is the norm these days, just a matter of whether it will be 1 or 2

Builder quotes on the drawings, which includes the items Tano initially mentioned. The specification will also determine the costs per sqm, the high the spec the higher the costs.

None of the above items. I found out recently builders don't like to include fencing because of additional unknowns, extra retaining costs? Could be why they also do not include demo. Titles - my builder paid for this one $700, however have been told by other developers that this is not...

Good point I based this on my plans, which includes all the above as I assume this is how the builder would quote using plans.

Nice DT. Would really like to find out more about your project. Be interested in your numbers, location etc if you want to share. MTR:)

That is very reasonable I would say for 2 storey. I am actually hoping that I can build for around $1200 if building starts continue to decline.

DT That is very cheap? What are you building at the moment? Cheers MTR:)

Hi All Just reviewing building costs in Perth at the moment for villas, my last build which I consider high spec came in at around $1280 per sqm, does this sound about right? I think building costs may actually drop in Perth over the next year as we know market has changed?? What are...
