So we have to come up with a solution to meet their requirement ( Ponzu was right.. That's what's holding us up on the permit.

My building permit didn't take that long and I am building in Keysborough too. You need to keep in very regular contact with them to make sure your file stays at the top of the pile!

Re: Building the Burbank Prescott 17Jun 05, 2014 9:36 pm Ponzu D's build, if the council doesn't like something they can take their sweet time to raise it with the builder. I do however agree the builders should have been more proa tive I totally agree the council will take as long as they take. That doesn't change my advice and experience that staying in constant, regular contact with Burbank is beneficial in pushing them along. Someone in the office could have opened the file and help Annie find out what was going on rather than her having to go to her sale person.

It was a bit daunting when we didn't know what's going on.. I will definitely keep hassling them. Also a bit unprofessional of the admin ladies (main and backup persons) for not passing on our case to another person before they went on holiday too.. But lucky the Sales guy is helping and it's with his manager now. He seems like he's doing his best too. Our block of land is smaller than standard for having double garage (25mx12m), i think the standard width should be at least 12.5m. That's why they had to adjust our gutter position but unfortunately the council didn't like it. So hopefully Burbank can come up with the solution soon. DSbuild - we're gonna be neighbours!! hehe how's your building going - nearly finished I guess? Or already finished? How exciting!
