Hi all,
Hoping I can brain pick experienced developers!
We are building our PPOR at the moment. Builders just poured first floor slab so window frames are in downstairs. We've realised we screwed up in having a normal window at one end of the open plan room father than a full length window that will allow small pool to be seen. and bring in more light. Have just called window supplier - their price for new fixed window panels will be about $1850 incl GST (this is for 3 fixed panels total 3.1 metres wide about 2.4 tall - 2 commercial panels would add at least $2k to that I'm told). Builders will add their margin plus labour plus management cost to take out existing frame and cut out bricks below - should not be any structural issues as there is lintel for current window and there is no electrical/plumbing in that wall. Costs may end up ok.
Question is - anyone know if I will need to go to Council for this? Also any comments on pricing would be appreciated!
Thanks very much.
Maggie
