Hi Guys,
background info in my last post (almost a year ago) here - http://somersoft.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73984
After procrastinating about the above project for the best part of 8 months, its finally moving into action. I've got draftsmans finalised plans, the building certifier has pretty much signed off on it, and I've had a bunch of quotes for builders. All thats remaining is getting a few engineering drawings and picking a builder and telling them to start ASAP.
I have attached the plans and an itemised quote a builder im leaning towards has given to me. I am after any further general advice/thoughts you have on either - Theres not a hell of a lot of room to move on the design as its currently meeting all of ACPLAS requirements, but i would appreciate any thoughts on the quote and things I might be able to cut corners on/do it myself or whatever to keep the price down. My current housemate is a qualified plumber, and my other good mate is an electrician - so ill probably get them to do all the plumbing/electrical work as a start.
Thanks!
