Hi All,
I am new member of this forum thought have read a few posts.
I bought a property with Council approval to build a single story unit at the rear of the existing single story house in the front.
I want to confirm that I understand the next steps and questions on some of the steps. I will really appreciate any inputs. Reference of any related posts will be appreciated as well. Thanks.
1. Council Permit with endorsed plans [ Completed ]
2. Get Architecture / detail design ( Not sure about the right term here and most of ambiguity is here for me - estimated costs and whom to go to, will it make sense to go the design group who did the plans for council approval)
3. Find a builder ( get price estimation and select a builder)
4. Organise Finance
5. Construction commence
6. Organise utilities connection - Electricity/Gas/Water ( Will it be organised by builder ? I understand from some forums that these costs are typically overlooked in planning )
7. Construction complete
8. Request for subdivide ? ( Is this where I contact council for subdivide again ? what would be rough cost ? Someone mentioned to me it could be around $5k)
9. Sub-division completed (I am assuming some sort of approval from council will complete this step )
10. Find a tenant (not considering selling immediately )
Thanks.
