Owner builder Insurance claimGeneral Discussion

Jul 22, 2021 10:15 am

Our neighbor claims that our temp fence scratched his timber decking (2 boards). It’s not technically feasible unless someone dragged it along those boards. They actually have tenants living there and are relying on the tenants story. So they want us to pay to have the whole deck sanded back and rep...

Re: Does dilapidation report include site survey?Owner Builder Forum

Jul 22, 2021 10:08 am

Thanks for your reply! In our experience, no. Dilapidation reports are typically done by people with building or engineering qualifications (our council will only accept dilap reports done by an engineer) whereas surveying requires different qualifications. If you also need a site survey then probab...

Does dilapidation report include site survey?Owner Builder Forum

Jul 17, 2021 1:19 pm

Is it standard for a dilapidation report to include a site survey (as in measurements of boundaries, fence-lines, etc) or would that be considered an add-on?

Re: Insurance options to cover damage to neighbouring properOwner Builder Forum

THanks for your replies @Snowing and @Benny123. We have spoken to our surveyor and he wasn't much help unfortunately. He just said we need to agree with the neighbor's request or it could get messy. But he didn't give us any leads on where to find this insurance. We have looked into Allrisk Insuranc...

Insurance options to cover damage to neighbouring property?Owner Builder Forum

WE are about to apply for our building permit to renovate and extend. Our neighbour is asking us to do a few extra things that we didn't anticipate. One of which is for us to assure them in writing that we will : " pay for all costs associated with rectification of any damage which occurs to ou...

Has anyone used Thermeco or Element Windows?Building A New House

May 22, 2020 1:14 pm

I found them through Google search and they look beautiful. Has anyone used them, know of them or have any feedback on them? We'll be starting our Reno this year and will be needing quite a few windows and doors. I'm hoping for slim-line type aluminium (would LOVE steel but $$$) and these guys look ...

Thanks for that. I completely agree. I've just been advised that it may be quite cramped and not quite as functional.

Floorplan - can sink fit along wall?Kitchen Corner

Apr 11, 2020 4:45 pm

Our plans were originally designed so the kitchen sink is in the island. However, I really REALLY want a 'clean' island with no sink. I just don't think it can fit though. Our kitchen will be roughly 3.8mx3.8m and the island will be approx 2mx1.1m. The cooktop will be around 900mm and we also want ...
