Re: After handover 3May 23, 2019 2:34 pm IamSAM Paving - Fencing (fence to keep property safe and paving to avoid dirt coming into the house) Paint Tiles, Planks Downlight Paint touchup Blinds (have a lead time, so you will want to order in advance) So you mean to do the paving first then fencing and gate? The painting are only for the internal walls. No doors, frames or ceiling which will be done during the build. So still go with painting first or downlights first then painting? Not sure if the painter will come back and do touch ups later after floor done. Do they? For the blinds, should I get measurements done up first before painting stage?

Basically I meant get landscaping & fencing done together. Particularly between Fencing and Paving - get fencing done first as it requires soil to be dug up. Once fencing is done, get the paving done so the pavers sit aligned with the fence and the floor level/slope etc can be managed properly (as no more digging after) Downlights vs Painting - Are the wall switches for downlights being done along with the build? If switches will be done along with the downlights then my preference is paint - downlight - touch up. Have it contracted with painter that he will revisit after x days to fix any issues/touch up. Quite normal. Or get 2 coats done before switch install and then call for third coat after all install is done. Don't worry too much about the order downlight vs painting....unless either of the tradie is novice Blinds take over 4 weeks, so get them measured once the window frame is in place. Can you give advice on how to get missing certificates needed for a form 21? Our bank requires us to provide one but we are missing 4 building certificates from our first… 3 71810 yes it does, you've just not understood it. theres a difference. 4 5322 Your house should come in "as new" condition.
