    Questions people ask

    Restumping cost calculator questions

    How accurate is a house restumping cost calculator?

    Close enough to budget with, not close enough to sign. Two houses with the same bedrooms can have 60 stumps or 90, and only a look underneath tells you which. Treat the range as the first number, and the inspection as the real one.

    Why do a few stumps cost almost as much as one side?

    The jacks, the levels and the crew's day cost the same whether they replace 3 stumps or 20. That's why small jobs have a minimum charge.

    Is the building permit in the estimate?

    No, it's listed under it. A full restump in Victoria is structural work and needs a building permit through a registered building surveyor, usually $800 to $2,000. The restumper normally arranges it.

    What if my house is double brick?

    Double-brick houses sit on a strip footing, not stumps, so there's nothing to restump. If walls are cracking or the floor has dropped, the job is underpinning, priced per pier.

    Does it work outside Melbourne?

    For Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo, yes, with travel added to the quote. Sydney, Brisbane and Perth prices differ, so use the range as a rough guide only.
