Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 15, 2010 11:46 pm Hi, We has our first inspection last week and it went with any major issues. I noticed following: 1. There are weeds grown up on the site area that isn't near the construction area. 2. Supervisor has used moved some of the soil from one area and moved to side of slabs? Now the site is not properly leveled. He is saying that they do not bring the soil from outside. Are they supposed to level the site and clean it from all the weeds? There are a fall of just approx 700 mm when I handed over the site to them and it was clear of any weeds. Cheers, AG Re: Site cleanup before settlement 2Apr 15, 2010 11:54 pm 1) your problem 2) that is normal, you need to level it or do what you want after handover (unless soil has been left a a big pile then they need to spread it out) Yes they need to clean the site of building material but not weed and in this case it not even near the building site Re: Site cleanup before settlement 3Apr 16, 2010 10:29 am I agree with fruitty. I expect my house to be cleaned thouroughly. The yard however, will be my responsibility. I did not organise for them to do any landscaping. It is not anything of their doing that the weeds started growing. If there were giant holes everywhere from them moving dirt around, I would be annoyed and mention to the SS about possibly getting them to move any piles of dirt to fill the holes for me. It should all be done by whoever does the landscaping tho, whether you choose to do that yourself, or hire someone to do it for you. I have noticed we have heaps of weeds growing just behing our house. I am thinking about going down there on the weekend to pull them out. Either that or find out if the SS mind if I put something on them to kill them... I am in the same situation, would you be able to give some insights in to this?
