Hello Friends
we are now in a position to apply for the construction certifcate and wonder about some new charges...
1. Roadside or kerb deposit of $1820 (we already paid this)
2. Inspection fees $880
3. Long Service levy $868
4. Registration fee for Accredited certifier (green fields)
Would anyone know what fees am I supposed to pay of of these ? we have already agreed to pay $8000 as council surcharge for building in our council ..

We didn't pay anything extra for the construction certificate. It was included in the tender under "Site costs due to site conditions and Council and Waterboard requirements." I think those charges you've incurred must be specific to your council requirements. Clarendon now clarified that they will pay the Builders Levy, but I have to pay the rest. The tender does not address any of these costs Buildling a Clarendon Crestmead in Sydney DA Approved on 20/03/2008 Slab Poured on 02/09/2008 Frame Completed 15/10/2008 Brickwork Complete 2/02/2009 Roofwork Complete 05/03/2009 Re: Construction Certificate Surcharges 8Apr 08, 2008 5:45 pm We put forward our views to Clarendon who were all along insisting that we pay these charges. Basically we insisted that these expenses were not part of tender, and Clarendon checked back with council who said that we do not have to pay expense 3 and 4. Clarendon pays the Building Levy....
Wow thats a relief, moral of the story do not just listen to your CSO and act... keep checking councils do make mistakes. If we had paid these as Clarendon wanted us to do, we would have never known about this mistake. So its all good now  Buildling a Clarendon Crestmead in Sydney DA Approved on 20/03/2008 Slab Poured on 02/09/2008 Frame Completed 15/10/2008 Brickwork Complete 2/02/2009 Roofwork Complete 05/03/2009 Re: Construction Certificate Surcharges 9Apr 08, 2008 10:59 pm Quote: Wow thats a relief, moral of the story do not just listen to your CSO and act... keep checking councils do make mistakes.

If you’re close to settlement, maybe try negotiating a price reduction or have it handled before finalising.
