Browse Forums General Discussion Re: Information on building a small home 8Nov 12, 2021 8:05 pm I really need some advise on who I should be contacting to get information on issues that we are having with the Building company. is there an Ombudsman or would it be best to go through MBA. If anyone has any experience with having a VENM/ENM testing report done and could shed some light on if it is normal to be told that "All pre construction requirements have now been met and your file finalised. In order to validate your contract and move your file through to the production planning phase, we require the following from you please: Signed validation letter and schedule, Signed Validation plans, An updated Proof of Funds dated within 30 days Once the above has been received, your contract will be validated and file released to production to raise the orders for your new home – this is also when the 20 working days to commence construction will begin." So Before signing and returning any of these Documents I have again questioned amounts that have been charged. Our DA was approved in September. We have charges that are associated with Acid Sulphate Soil, which is not applicable as it is not Acid Sulphate Soil effected. Now I have questioned A VENM/ENM test that was included in the second Variation in March, (Provide Waste Classification & VENM/ENM testing report due to the subject site is potentially Contaminated -$1680) this was dated before the Council Planning Certificate was issued. Now I have questioned this charge again and have asked to see the VENM/ENM Report and the Invoice and today I was told that it has been ordered a couple of days ago (after I had asked for the report and Invoice) and they hope that it is done asap. My understanding is this report is done to forward to the Council, if the Council so requires it and if so would need to submitted before the DA would be approved. Any info would be really appreciated. I am very disillusioned with this company and the whole process to date.
