Seems to be a bit of clay here and there also. Would you know what holds up better Alan "when" things start to shift?
I dunno reeco. Clay swells and contracts with moisture content.
Houses on stumps tend to handle movement much more easily than say brick houses on slabs (that crack).
Best to speak to a few builders with experience on your soil type IMO.
On a sloping clay site your biggest cost will be the siteworks and required engineering for the proposed load.
Those are the main reasons you switch from a concrete slab to a framed home. The savings can be $20-$40k in the hills.
Where are you thinking of building Reeco?
the trouble is you go outside the realm of project builders, so you are into a custom product (=$'s)
Gosnells and or Kenwick. Basically the gosnells district area. Been to a few house inspections and found a couple walls with cracks in them. Its funny i had a realestate agent tell me that its ok "coz all houses round here are like that" .His exact words... Nice salesman-ship on his behalf i reakon.
How old were the houses? All houses get cracks over time simply due to shrinkage rates of different materials.
I've built a few homes in Kenwick and haven't had any issues. They've all been double brick on concrete too.
