We have approved plans!!!!!!
We received the final amended documentation Monday, we signed it all and mailed it back on Tuesday. I also scanned and emailed a copy to try to speed things up too. I gave the builder a days grace to get sorted and called on Thursday. They were in the process of transferring the documentation to the construction people. Apparently a letter would have been sent out detailing our requirements on Friday. We need to action this letter and get it back to the builder. Once they receive this letter they will start on site within 21 days. They did also promise that they will try to start earlier due to other delays that we have experienced.
I think the letter will ask us to ensure the following:
- That the block is clear of rubbish and grass;
- That the block boundaries are appropriately identified;
- That we have identified the block by placing a sign with our name and the lot number on it.
It will probably also ask for things that we have already provided as well, including a certificate of title, evidence that we can pay for the construction and a few other things.
Sounds like we are on about the same timelines with Romeo homes. My wife and I are building in Botanic Ridge and it has taken FOREVER to finally sign the contracts. We did this 3 1/2 weeks ago and since then have heard nothing at all. My wife has been ringing and keeps getting told someone will call her back.
ReplyDeleteI hope we can start building sometime this century!!!
Try writing them a letter and quote specific contract clauses. ie: Clause 10.0 "Commencement must occur within 21 Days after the Builder receives....."
ReplyDeleteAlso provide them with everything stated in Clause 13.0 and the following:
Survey of land or a letter stating that you are happy with the boundary peg locations, put a sign up identifying the block, clear any debris. Then contractually they must start within 21 days of receipt of all of this information.
PM me if you want any more information. Good Luck.
