Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 14, 2010 1:14 pm I have contacted our council to find out the progress of our application. They have advised that they are waiting on further information from the builder. They said that we should request that the builder change the type of application from a residential code application to a merit application, as it will speed up the process. Does anyone know the difference between the two applications? Is this likely to cause delays with the builder, to change the type of application? Are we better to just leave it as it is, and wait it out? contract signed: Nov 09 Released to Construction: 23 Jul 10 Slab poured: 9 Aug 10 Frame completed: 30 Aug 10 Windows & Gutters: 7 Sep 10 Bricks: 15 - 23 Sep 10 Roof: 24 Sep 10 Gyprock: 20 Oct 10 Lockup: 25 Oct 10 Kitchen: 27 Oct 10 Tiling: 6 - 9 Nov 10 Painting: 17 Nov 10 Carpet: 30 Nov 10 PCI: 15 Dec 10 Handover: 17 Dec 10 https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=35943 Re: council - merit application vs residential code applicat 2May 14, 2010 7:31 pm Hey carlswill, ~ sorry can't help you with this ~ but the people who know will probably want to know what state you are in?
