Appears pretty much on par with what we paying. Two units of 41 square meters P15k per square. This is contract price all inclusive, we are hands off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Location, location, location. Large investors do it all the time. They buy a house for the location, tear it down and build from scratch. Individuals who like their location and are in a dilapidated house are often wise to do the same. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Support Mike J Posted June 19, 2019 Forum Support Posted June 19, 2019 10 hours ago, robert k said: Interesting that it costs 2.5 Million to build 100sq meter medium end and 3 Million to renovate 100sq meter medium end. You do not have to find a way to work around and/or correct the existing mistakes. Walls not plumb, floors not level, corners not square, undersized beams, termite damage, substandard wiring and plumbing to be replaced. When you go to remodel the stuff you run into is just amazing and you find yourself saying WTH! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be, but that doesn't take account of the location which may mean someone is willing to spend more on renovation just to stay in the same spot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonjack2847 Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Although this chart is very useful it does not take into account of which area the property is being built. I had my house built for 15k per meter but it is not low end. 2 brits an Aussie and a German have looked and said how good the workmanship is.

This guide will just give you a variety of range whether you want your cost higher or lower depending on the location and the ability of the contractor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be in the building trades. I walk in to a place like that and it's almost palpable, the way it hits you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this way also but some things are buried and we cannot tell until we start if anything is wrong. Having said that I would adjust the price I was willing to pay to compensate for anything I suspected might be substandard, you can usually get a hint from how the other finishing is done.

I have been quoted a price for building the wall around our lot, it seems a bit expensive to me , but i dont have any prices to compare too Regards John This is not applicable to fencing construction. What you can do is to ask your local material supplier about price quotation, once you have the quotation on the material you’ll just add 35-45% labor cost to know your overall estimates. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
