Good morning,
I was wondering if there are any developers out there, or friendly plumbers, who could tell me if I am being fairly charged for the connection of two units to the Council mains, sewer and storm water drains. Each unit is two bed/one bath. The first unit is at the end of a straight 32m drive which is not yet sealed. The second unit is 12m to the side of that unit. The block is flat. I would have liked to have got more than one quote for this job but unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, I haven't been able to. The price quoted is $12,000. Has anybody got any experience as to these costs?
Also, I would be very willing to pay a qualified plumber to review the quote in conjunction with the plans to see if the quote is fair.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Andy
Hi Andy,
I'm a developer not a plumber but perhaps the quote included the fees Council charge for connection to a live sewer. This fee can vary greatly from council to council but in my part of the world is about $3,500 per unit. With sewer being about $100 per linear metre that would equate roughly to your quote.
