House building costs
Here in NZ the rule of thumb is around $1000 per square metre, how does that compare to building costs in Queensland please?

Re: House building costs
We have found it very difficult to compare as some inclusions are extras with other builders.
Has anyone had any experience of Perry homes?

Re: House building costs
We are just looking at designs & costs for Hervey Bay and it is probably just a little bit less than $1,000 sqm. It does depend on whether you include A/C's, driveways, fencing etc. in the build costs which will push the cost up.

Remember that AU$1000 equates to NZ$1130 or visa versa NZ$1000 equates to AU$880 when doing the comparisons.

Re: House building costs
Hi, we've just built a home in Queensland (30 squares, which is 300sm) and contract price came to just over $200,000, so thats well under $1,000 per square metre. Bearing in mind though that there were a lot of extras on top which we chose to include, and of course doesn't include fencing, landscaping, etc.

We are working through by talking with each area ie
Excavation
Foundation (concrete supplier)
Bricklayer (materials & labour)
Electrician (rough & fitting)
Plumber (rough & fitting)
Roofer
Builder (floors, internal walls, frame etc)

We are at the early stages of our house costing - we are doing a detail build cost rather than rough estimate.

Squares are just an anomaly left from a bygone era

Re: House building costs
Seriously I need the space for:
Work
Seperate living for wifes parents (although they are welcome to live with us - don't want them on top of us - if you know what I mean)
The house will split into 2 later on so we can live in one and rent the other out.

Indoor soccer plenty of room for the kids to run around and for wife and I to have our own space.
