The weather has been pretty good this week so hopefully you'll get moving along with those frames H&H submitted our DA last week. Today Ryde council came back with some pre-assessment notes which we need to address - going to cost us more money and time. We have to pay our landscape designer an extra $220 to get some fence elevations - I am shocked the $990 we already paid them didn't cover this, tempted to ask them to remove the front fence from the landscape plan but they will probably charge for that. We also need to get an arborist report though not sure which tree Council wants the arborist report on since we are not removing any trees, just a bunch of shrubs. I've made an appointment to see Council to get some clarification as the arborist report is going to cost $1000+ and we don't even know which tree they are referring to. Sigh....this build is starting to feel like an uphill battle and we haven't even done the proper DA assessment yet! That's so frustrating! Good idea to meet with council, hope they can be clear with what they want regarding the trees, such an odd request to get arborist given you are keeping your trees. I agree with you that the landscape plans should be complete, including side elevations for fences given the money you have paid. Grrrr. Hope it gets sorted out quickly for you and for minimal cost. Did you go Ok with the council meeting? hope they could give you some clarity. Re: Building with Hall & Hart Homes 520Oct 30, 2018 11:34 am Morri Great photos Kjane and LePip. We have started bricks after the rain delays. Happy with the Austral brick colour choice after choosing so long ago. We are still uploading photos on Instagram for anyone interested.
