Hey bk84 For me the big one is that not everything needs to be actually finished at the time of practical completion. Another one is that we need to pay the progress payments even if the work done is rubbish. Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 14793May 20, 2016 2:12 pm Yeah I think it will be hard to negotiate with Clarendon but I have read on this forum that people have held back on paying Clarendon the progress payment if there was something wrong or work was not satisfactory... Also before handover, I think you have a walk through with your SS to note down anything that needs to be fixed up prior to handover. I have been told to have your final progress payment in the form of a cheque so that you only hand it over when you are happy with everything. Also you get the 90 day period post handover for anything that goes wrong and Clarendon are supposed to get this sorted too? Hope this helps somewhat! Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 14794May 20, 2016 2:12 pm bk84 Anyone have/had SB as their site manager and have any comments (good/bad)? I have SB and he is brilliant. I get updates every Friday without fail and he has kept the build moving smoothly so far. Really really happy with him.

Thank you! How's your build going? We are just about to start! Building at Edmondson Park Really well. Week 15 this week and bricks getting cleaned today. We have had some issues with the build but they've been with the slab and engineering interference. SB is doing everything he can to make us happy. We were told he is one of the best Clarendon has Good luck! viewtopic.php?f=31&t=82062 Madison 37 - site start 16.2.16 Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 14799May 20, 2016 3:23 pm We have the same...
