Well based on a quote my mum got to build an elevated one out the back of house (hers was 6mx3m and was to be 6 ft of the ground at the house wall (oooo .... handrails handrails needed) and was to incorporate her existing back stairs), she was told at least $10k so it wont happen.
So I presumed a 3mx3m would be maybe 3/4 this .... it's mostly labour .... but based on your response - 'I'll head to Mitre10 at Warners Bay (bugger Bunnings - I actually want someone to give some service) and I'll now make serious enquiries on that total for materials costs , then I'll chase up a local handyman (I don't have a lot of carpentry power tools , just a jigsaw and handheld circular saw) for a price to construct it ....so might go that way yet.
