Building Quotes is a search often performed by people interested to build their first house but obviously also by so many others doing it for the second, third or fourth time. For most ordinary people, building a new house would be the largest project they would undertake during their lifetime and getting building quotes are therefore very common.
Building a new house is quite complex and it is important to compare apples with apples when comparing building quotes. Different builders include different things, often not visible, and it is therefore essential that you understand your building quotes and the contents thereof very well. Some builders for instance build with timber that are termite treated and which carries a long guarantee (Typically 25 years) whereas others might work with a cheaper product. This is something not visible to the owner but it could have a huge impact on you later down the track. Other things you should ask your builder about when comparing building quotes are; what wind rating they are building to, what insulation they are using etc. Different types of slabs also have vastly different price tags.
Building quotes normally don`t include driveways, fences, landscaping, lighting, flooring etc., just to mention a few. It is a good practice to make a very detailed list of all the inclusions and exclusions when comparing your building quotes. Do it in columns on one page with the items listed top to bottom down the right hand side of the page. Different builders can be placed left to right on top of the page, one per column. Making tick marks and crosses for inclusions and exclusions gives you a quick overview when comparing your building quotes.
