Hey all
I have a question for anyone who knows or is i the house raising and restumping gangs.
The wife and i are in the process of buying a house and have found the house we want but it needs tlc. Which is fine to me as i am a carpenter but dont work on new housing or exterior renos. I base myself on interior renovation and home maintenance.
The house we have found is sitting on stumps at non legal living height of 2.1m ish. We wish to raise it to legal living of 2.4m. The house is hardwood timber frame sitting on brick piers already. Is it as simple as raising and added more bricks to the existing piers and extending all the necessary power, water, etc to suit? Or is it a complete removal and new piers installed?
Also what rough $$$$$ is invloved?
