If your Property Information reports, Land Documents or other factors require a Flood Level to be adhered to for the construction on your site, the compliance costs to survey and certify this will be added to the estimate in this section. We may not know if a flood level applies until a later stage in the project design and permit process.If your home requires flood level compliance, this may result in further costs to the site excavation, foundations and other construction costs in order to achieve the flood level. * If a flood level is notified later in the design and permit stage, extra charges will apply

At times the construction of your house or related structures may be in close proximity to your boundary. A Protection Works process is required to ensure that the neighbouring property is protected for damage or from being undermined during construction.Examples are building close or within 200mm of boundary. Retaining Walls are another common one.This section adds the administrative costs of the Protection Works process.If the Engineer, Building Surveyor or Neighbour require specific actions to protect the boundary, extra Construction costs may apply in another section of this estimate.* If at a later stage Protection Works are required, the extra costs will be added to your estimate

As part of the Building Permit process, you may be required to obtain "Report & Consent" approval from either your neighbour(s), Council/Shire or another authority. There may be multiple Report & Consent approvals required for your permit.Examples of situations requiring report and consent are:* Requesting site setback closer to your front boundary than the regulations allow for your block* Building higher on the boundaryThis item may not be known until the permit application stage. If requested as part of the compliance for the permit, the Extra Charge will be added to your Estimate

For certain land sites, there is a requirement for the landowner to provide a Bushfire Management Overlay or Bushfire Management Plan as part of the document and compliance process.A BMO or BMP Report is not included in our Base Pricing in your New Home Estimate as they are not generally required for regular home builds and relate more to development or rural sites. If required, will be charged as an Extra CostAt this stage you, and or we, may not be aware of whether it is required, therefore please select Option 2 below. If you do require a BMO/BMP, we will obtain a quote from the appropriate consultant for your review and approval.
