Browse Forums General Discussion Re: NBN “Not” Ready 7Jul 20, 2021 6:02 pm Althom Norts33 Hi, I’m looking for some guidance here as I have been in our newly built house for 7-8 months now and have booked an NBN tech to connect the house to the NBN which was supposed to be “NBN Ready” which is in our contract and the builder said we were at final inspection, but the tech has advised me that the builder has forgotten to run conduit/wiring from the house to the NBN pit. To make this even better, we’ve completed our front yard landscaping and had the sideway where the NBN external point is concreted. Can someone help me with what the builders obligations are here? Our SS has advised that there are a few different options including wireless Bluetooth but there is no way I’ll accept that as I’ve just spent a lot of money on a new home theatre system which high speed internet is critical for. Any and all feedback welcome. Thanks in advance. Norts33 The conduit should be shown on your approved building plans and listed in your signed-off specs. What you should see in your spec is a line that says something like NBN run-in and has a Provisional Sum listed in $. Thanks Althom. Yes there was a $1,500 provision for it in the contract and the builder said it’s non-negotiable, it’s going in. I’ll check the plans to confirm it’s on the drawings, but they’ve confirmed today they are going to rectify. Cheers, Norts33 Use a product like Equisol's Vitalise to clean the deck then coat with a penetrating timber oil. It will look 10 years younger and add value to your home.
