Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 08, 2023 2:31 pm Hi guys, We started a build 18 months ago on the Sunshine Coast, QLD. The contracted completion date was supposed to be in November, 2022 (6 months ago) and we're still not finished unfortunately. When we handed the site to the builder at the commencement of the build, the block was clean and clear of any rubbish, weeds etc. but during the long build time, the block has been inundated with lots of large weeds (some over a metre tall). Whose responsibility is it to ensure that the weeds are cleared from site before handover?

It could also show the business ethics and values you hold toward building and handing over to a client. It takes half your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project. - Napoleon Hill Re: Weeds on building site - whose responsibility? 4May 15, 2023 2:10 pm the site needed to be clear for them to be able to build. Their responsibility is limited to cleaning the site of builders refuse and rubbish. Often they just do this with a bobcat. Weeds might get removed asa result. However, dont count on it. Weeds are yours. Just spray some round up a couple weeks before handover and you'll be fine when you move in. Get a hard rubbish collection to come pick up the excess green waste the conduit would need to be undamaged regardless of what network is in play. The conduit needs to be able to have fibre run through it. NBN and Opticomm are just… 4 3003 Elvis has left the building... The site supervisor quit after 2 month on the project.
