So got our final invoice today, and on it, there is a 'contract variation' form with the following items:
City of Armadale Fees
Planning Fee $132.00
Verge Inspection Fee $110.00
Security Bond $400.00
Concrete Pump-hire for concrete footings & Slab $2076.00
Now, why should we have to pay for the Concrete Pump hire fee? Is this standard practice? Also, why wait till the final payment before bringing this up? We paid the installment for the slab right at the start, shouldn't this be brought up then?
We've called them and they said they will get back to us, but wanted some advice.
