Have a Californian Bungalow of around 100 square meters that needs a foundation relevel.

Interested in hearing from those that have been through the process, what your cost was ? And how long ago was it done ?

Separate price for the lifting part would be great too ?

Anyone building at the moment? Seems NZ will suffer long delays for building supplies and pay up to a third more when they can get their hands on even the basics like 4x2 wood.

So I asked the bank for more money to finish renovations. The bank said they want a valuation done if we proceed. How is QV going to treat half finished renovations, and what information are they likely to give to the council?
