How long did it take and how much were the costs to subdivide? I guess by now construction would be underway.
If only construction was underway
I now have subdivision planning approval and construction planning approval. Demolition is underway so that I can get the new lots pegged and finalise the subdivision paperwork ready for submission to the DAC.
Ironically, it isn't the subdivision process that is holding everything up now, but rather the builder! I am still pre-contract with them (I only have a preliminary services agreement with them to get through council, etc.), but the process of finalising contract prices, framing costs and engineering ready for building approval is taking forever! They are an expanding small builder (50 - 60 homes / yr I think) and I suspect they are too busy for their own good at the moment. I must confess that, although I am happy with the quality of their work, they have been around a while and I have had good references from other developers who have used them, I am getting a little nervous that this go slow may extend into the construction phase
Anyway, subdivision costs are as I originally estimated, which is good. SA Water is my main cost, as I need new road services. See Torrens vs Community subdivision - Adelaide values, an earlier post on another thread of mine for these costs.
