Our variation for internal wall insulation has a note on it that it will add 119 days to the build time! Is that normal? I think PD actually take advantage of variations to stretch out their build time, most likely to avoid paying the late penalty. I have seen a pattern on these forums to confirm this theory. With our house they have added a further 8-10 weeks to the standard build time and most of that is from variations. They also added 4 weeks for Xmas and we are not even building at that time of year, a bit cheeky me thinks Blog: http://bluemistkids.blogspot.com "Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark, and professionals built the Titanic." It seems very clear to me that your contract states that a security account does NOT need to be established so the answer to the builder is NO. If in doubt find a contract… 1 6359 So AFAIk the outcomes of the BAL ratings form part of a clause that allows them to pass these costs on to you. However the more relevant detail is how did it go from 19… 1 844 The fastest thing a builder will do is bank your cheque, those systems work perfectly with lightning speed, everything else is slow burn. Just the way it is. 1 5618 |
