    Hi All,

    I'm about to start getting some building quotes for a second dwelling I'm going to be building in the Pakenham area. The proposed dwelling is brick veneer, single storey and on a slab. It will have three bedrooms and one bathroom and a single car carport rather than a garage. Dwelling size will be around around 110m2 (excluding carport).

    Can anyone else give me an idea what they have paid or would expect to pay per m2 for building costs in this area for a comparable project?

    Would appreciate any comments.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I think I'd budget in $1,400 (GST inc) per square meter.

    I would have thought you'd get change out of that if it was an M class slab and a basic finish.

    Building cost is working out to be about $12,000 per square at the moment for basic construction.

    You may do a little better now as construction work starts to dry up at the sub contractor level.

    Builders seem happy to quote at the moment, so price it around and see how you go.

    All the best,
