Having a budget is useful. Sticking to it is difficult, especially when it is for a home that’s forever (never being sold).
On this page we have made an attempt to split the project into logical parts and provided an indication of costs. Like most people, we (gu) estimated what it was going to costs us and then compared it to the actuals.
Each section has a link to a detailed page which shows the budget vs actual, the percentage completed, lesson learnt and the journey.
Note: labour hire has been excluded from these costings. Labour hire costs are covered separately here.
