want to get the ball rolling ASAP but looking for an budget builder to build 2 townhouses in the western suburbs of melbourne.
we'd like x2 3 bedroom double story townhouses
i contacted metricon and we are looking at $600K for everything, start to finish (rough estimate)
1 would be 20 squares, the other 25.
Hi bnd, which suburb in Melbourne?
You'd be better off finding a local builder, one that builds in the western or northern suburbs. Price is generally cheaper. A good mate of mine building his own home in the eastern suburbs did this and he saved quite a bit of money on the build as he got "western suburb prices"

Hi there,
Reservoir area, VIC
Hi,
I built 2 townhouses in the Western Suburbs and used a builder called Bright Homes.
I was very happy with their price and quality of work.
If you want call Mark Santilli on 8361 9322 and he will be able to give you a quote.
Good Luck.

Bnd, have you considered owner builder?
I have thought about owner builder but we don't have any experience – would it pay to do so?
I'd hate to have major issues when there's more than 1 dwelling involved too
For more than 1 dwelling, are local builders generally cheaper than major buildings, vice versa or not necessarily?
$600,000, at the sizes you have suggested is less than $1,500/m2.
$1,500/m2 is a useful benchmark for townhouse construction of a "modest" level of finish.

is that to say we won't find anything cheaper at that level of finish?
I just don't know how much I should bother shopping around.
Look into Dixon Homes if you want a bargain basement build cost
