I think water too. Re: who pays bills whilst your house getting built 16Apr 01, 2012 10:14 am Must be different for each builder. In our contract, it says the builder pays all utility from start to handover. Perhaps that was something you could have negotiated in the contract?

In Victoria, the builder will arrange for the electrical connection and the account will be in their name, which also means they will pay the electricity bills until handover when they transfer the account over to your name. Gas always gets connected last, so this will be in your name. In WA, when I built 20 years ago (and I believe it is still the same) you arrange connection of electricty and pay the bills even if the builder is using it. I'm in Vic and we had to arrange our connection with our electrician. This has also been the case for several friends of mine who have built. I think regardless of who seems to pay it, in the end it's always a cost we will have to wear. If your builder 'pays' it I'm sure that amount (and most likely extra) is allowed for in your construction costs. The Soil classification has little to do with piers.
