This will help me in the future or be consultant hahaha if I ever want to build another house.
 
Buy a piece of land you like ~cost depend on your budget

Plan of your house draw up by architect or get Architect student to do for you. And have it all review and check by another third party for extra cost. I guess depend on your plan and how complicate is your house but I'll need find out how much for mind.. I'll find this out and post later.

Council paper work and approval I just ring them up max for a new house build under 300K is under $2000

Site Cost

Get it soil test ~ $550 Metricon charge $1000
This will determine what soil you have and what kind of slab you have to pour.

Excavator/Earthmover to level the land ~Cost Need to Find out

Hire Onsite toilet ~$???
Hire Fence per m ~$???
Hire Footpath crossing ~450
Electricity on site ~???

Plumber for Drains and Pipes ~$???
Electrician ~$???
GasFitter ~$???
Phone cable ~???
Ask these people to do job as whole package no just per job show them the drawing.

Surveyor cost - Draw up level of the land

Independant review and inspection cost

Ok so once the land is level the plumber put in the Drain and Pipes
Gas pipe is in, phone and electrician line is in, it is ready for the slab to poured.

Engineer slab design and draw up cost

Concretor Cost
They will do formwork or Boxing of the slab, vapour barrier is a plastic sheet laid over the entire slab area between the slab and ground. They put in the reinforcement still wire in the slab. And finally pour the slab.
All this is done by 1 company so the cost is fix

You can hire an independant inspector to review and inspect before the lab is poured.

Engineer design and draw up frame cost

FRAMING Cost all this is done by one company. They do all the framing from wall frame to roof trusses. Fully deliver and install. Since they do it all you can have a fix cost here. Lot of builder use Prefabricated roof that is the company premade the whole frame of your house to your specification and all they do is delivered it. This save time. and Their is no wastage when cutting it yourself.

Or you can put it together yourself.

 Other cost I'll post later once I find out.
