Re: who is responsible to fix? 3Oct 17, 2009 12:10 pm whomever ever damaged it. If it was a contractor or someone working for subby'ing to the builder then it goes on the builders shoulder who then puts it on whichever subbie etc. Basically whomever caused it.

We have a similar problem to this, the crane that put the roof trusses up damaged one part of the footpath, the guy who delivered the bricks damaged another they dug up a bit to lay the cables for the power and another bit again for the gas, I contacted our builder and they tell me in our contract it is our responsibility, sure enough they are correct, I just think it stinks that someone else causes damage and WE have to pay, not happy Jan!!! Re: who is responsible to fix? 6Oct 17, 2009 9:04 pm When we applied to move our crossover (due to the house being flipped on the block) the inspector said we had to replace a section of footpath because it was damaged. So the concreter did that at the same time as laying the crossover. Not sure what it will cost yet, as he will add it to our total bill. Apparently, we are liable because it is between the crossover and our driveway Blog: http://bluemistkids.blogspot.com "Never be afraid to try something new.

Our garage was slightly sunken relative to house level so her pavers essentially slipped down a bit. Really it's only about ten pavers on the side that don't affect the use of the driveway and something that's easily fixedas a DIY job. Unfortunately she's been quite difficult during the whole construction process. This is despite taking sand from our site numerous times, as well as daily foraging through the rubbish pile at the front to see what she can take.
