Number of days to make Progress Payment ...
Page 1 of 1
Hi All,
How many days are usually given to owner to inspect the stage by Lender and his/her hired Building Inspector? I was given 7 days. Is that enough?
What should I do if I receive a bill but the stage is not completed and/or not inspected by Independent Building Inspector (hiered by Builder)?
Thanks
Check you contracts there would have been something in there about how long you have to make the paymnet and penalties if not made on time
When we built, we always rang them if the difference between invoice date and date of receipt was more than 3 days . This way, they knew you got it, and they extended the date. Keep them informed that you have organised payment with the bank, or that the bank requires an inspection. If you keep them informed they are fine. The accounts ladies were lovely, appreciated the contact, and nothing was ever a problem.
Then we had a bit of a hold up on the frame stage as this is when we could get the FHOG, but the difference between the lender and the builders invoice wasn't right, so after a few days (nearly a week) for them to think about it and finally work out the problem, it was all fixed up (again late, but they knew what was going on). Fingers crossed it's all smooth sailing from now on... Just keep them informed.
Then there's my sister who is almost finished fixing stage and has only paid for the base! Long story but the builder is fine with it!

For us 7 days this is how long took a bank for processing. So even having 7 days for payment we were paying ca. 10 days. The first payment was late 3 weeks as the bank hold the payment. Even then the builder didn't enquire about the money. When we noticed that the money hasn't been withdrawn, we sort it out and call the builder.
cheers
