Not much of an update but am starting to cull what quotes I have, after weeks of delays, wrong items in quotes etc etc.
The way I approach it is after the initial quote, if anything is out of order or incorrect, I ask for it to be amended. If it takes more than two weeks, or the information is still incorrect (like one amended quote that suddenly had different colorbond sheets and a 7k price increase for some reason) then it goes in the bin.
The shed kits themselves are all around the same price, approx 20k +/- 2k.

Ok so after a bit of a disastrous Xmas/New Year period due to QLD border closures, have turned my attention to this again.
Have accepted a quote, engaged town planner and now waiting for concreter to come out for final inspection and quote on additional earthworks.
Once done, a site plan can be drawn up for the town planner who can then get the ball rolling with council.

So got a quote for 130sqm of exposed aggregate driveway. Its basically a widening of my existing driveway to take in the shed. Almost $15k.
Minor earthworks required as confirmed by site inspection. No existing driveway to rip up and remove.
Does this seem reasonable @ $115/sqm?

I’m going to say yes. Check out forumhomeone.com.au.
It’s for people building a home etc and they will be all over this stuff like white on rice.

The DA was lodged with council a few days ago.
Bit painful - council want plans that show the entire house footprint in relation to the boundaries. Council already has a site plan but won't release to us because of copyright. We could have just drawn a simple 6 x 12 rectangle on it, annotated the distances between shed, boundaries and house and be done with it. So have just grabbed a screenshot from the councils GIS program that has a boundary overlay and used that.
Fingers crossed.
