Browse Forums Building A New House Re: HIA contract advice 7Sep 10, 2020 8:37 pm sbanu Thanks GrahamB All the items make sense . Just a bit worried about the fact that we will need to handover the last cheque prior to all appliances being installed . What happens if the installation isn’t done after the cheque is paid or is delayed . We’ve already paid all the money , I don’t know how accountable they will be after that . So essentially we’ll be accepting pci and handover without the property being complete . Would we be able to get an interim occupancy certificate without appliances ? Not too sure about that either . Maybe I’m reading too much into it haha quote="GrahamB"]Pretty much normal with all builders, appliances etc to stop theft (as advised by Bobjane) water/electricity normal (as per Doozer) LD's are always low as this covers the builders from an expensive loss if they have site issues, my experience is if you increase the LD daily limit, they simply add extra weeks into the contract, progress claims is standard, but make sure the work is complete before you sign off on it (read the description of the claim in the contract) and Final OC cannot be achieved unless all you landscaping is in place, unless your builder is doing the full turn key package then this is normal [/quote] Builders have been doing it for years, I am unsure as to who your builder is whilst I write this, however they are obligated contractually to install them, and you are unable to get an interim if cooking is not in place You talk about deletions, are they variations or PS and PC adjustments? pleas list them 1 16557 10 12308 Unless there is something in special conditions the builder does not have to give you timeline.
