Its not the fact it's a roof payment as such, more a progress payment......but the contract states if they ask for it I have to pay regardless if any progress has been made. ON a good note, visiting the site tomorrow and hopefully progress and new pics.

What would they say if you told them. "I've not made the payment yet but I should do before handover" SslayerR I guess the HIA contract was written by builders for builders because anyone who reads it will quickly realize the builder can do pretty much whatever it wants and the client has to suck it up and pay anyway. The HIA? It's amazing how they sell themselves as a consumer protection body when they are a private company owned by building companies and they allow contracts like these. SslayerR The HIA contract is designed to keep the client locked in a box while the builder runs free. Oh yes! It's funny that the HIA's code of ethics has these as the requirements for memebership; The HIA The HIA National Code of Ethics ALL MEMBERS OF THE HOUSING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION HAVE AGREED TO BE BOUND BY THE HIA NATIONAL CODE OF ETHICS, UNDER WHICH THEY SHALL AT ALL TIMES CONDUCT THEIR BUSINESS SO AS TO: 1. Provide products and services with competence, fairness, value, honesty and integrity. 2. Ensure that all products and services they provide are delivered as advertised, and that all claims made are genuine. 3. Ensure that standards of workmanship are provided as promised to the customer, in accordance with the appropriate industry practice for the class of work concerned, and in a manner which shall enhance the reputation of the industry. Anyone short of horse manure? The HIA have it by the truckload! Re: My Aveling Build 240Dec 03, 2013 7:41 pm I love the bit where the left over material is the builders......unless the builder considers it rubbish because then its yours lol I had over 2500 bricks left over, wonder who got a free house.
