Went to seen a few display homes today and they said i have to pay a.extra charge to build in a rural area but they wouldnt tell me how much.

Does.anyone.have a idea on how extra it will be or how it is calculated?

My dad is in phillp island , on his renovation tried a local builder , local builder was not up to scratch and he to get mainland builders and cost lot more.

You obviously just went to the standard volume builders. Can't help you on exactly how much extra the build is. But it's nothing extreme. Cost of land is considerably cheaper so way in front that way. If you get serious they will be able to tell how much it will cost. Probly a lazy salesman not interested really because it's not their sale. Possibly email the builders from where your looking at building for a answer.

We told the lady we serious and we like the display home and whats include and the base price and few extras and happy to sign up on Tuesday and pay a deposit depending added rural price if it all fitted in our budget
I still dont think she think i was serious.

Might be worth contacting their local office in Bairnsdale.
What about builders who do their own jobs not the typical volume builders?

Was thinking calling them today.

I was looking up local builders but they dont have much on there websites and my wife like to look at the floor plan before she does anything lol

That's fair enough. Might be worth looking into sometimes the volume builders squeeze their subbies so tight that quality goes by the wayside.

Where abouts were you thinking mate?

Cost of getting materials would be more $$$ in rural areas.
