Hi guys!
just want to ask a few questions regarding the house that we are building at the moment. i really have no idea where or who to ask these questions to.
1 how is the cost of drop edge beams calculated? my builder is charging me $2,000 + $200 GST for a drop edge beam which is a requirement by Council. The land at the back is 10m wide. Our neighbor which has a similar condition as ours was charged $900 only.
2.) Original floor plan was for a 4 bedder house but i converted the 4th bedroom to an open lounge room instead. I now know the difference this will do in terms of valuation as they will compare my house to a 3 bedroom house around the area. its too late to changed the plan back again as this is now under construction. can i still convert this back to a 4 bedroom house after completion by just putting up a wall? or will this as complicated as to go back to Council and tell them that I am converting the lounge to a 4th bedroom and wait for approval?
Sorry guys if the questions are pretty basic but hope someone will still take time to answer them. thanks in advance!
