Latitude 37 are a very good builder and have a good history. They will end up a lot pricier then the smaller local builders but you will get a…

I will put it to you this way. The writer above has said it's 20-30% more expensive but I strongly believe that is not so right now. I…

Yep, opposite the convention centre from memory? I've been there a few times and I've done two houses from that centre. It is a great service isn't it?

Yes everything you say is correct but I can tell you Clipsal has been working with the project builders for a very, very long time, this is nothing new. …

All I am seeing in that is a 40k price increase over two years which I reckon is right on the money when you take in to account building material…

Are you saying there is a significant price difference in base price from builder to builder? Is that it? Apples and apples?
timthetoolman44 posted:Reputation and reliability of cheaper builders
How's everything going with your pricing there? I'm intrigued any builder is getting a fixed price down that low so what size home is it if you don't mind…

Your point on the trades sort of is half accurate. You realise what rates the volume builders pay for their trades and have you ever been on a site…
