Hi All,
We are first time home builders and are going through a volume builder. We have just been presented with our final contract which is based on the HIA standard contract. The builder included their section for the new home estimate etc. We noticed that there were some items incorrect and needed to be adjusted. The builder said this will be done via a variation after we sign the contract. Also, there were some errors with the plan (extra powerpoints, light points etc that should of been removed..), but we were reassured that the final plans are the ones that need to be 100% correct. The final item was that there was no engineering plans (slab/footings..) in the contract. The builder said this will come afterwards and as such we still have a provisional sum for our slab despite soil tests and surveys being done. Is this normal practice or should the contract be 100% correct with engineering specifications/drawings etc... ? I understand each builder may do things differently, just wondering if I should be worried about this or it's just part of the process...
