Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 24, 2013 8:47 am Maybe a silly question, but I don't know so I'm asking. Finally my house has begun and the site cut has just been done.

I want to know if the builder will make it so we are able to drive into the garage when its complete, or will they leave me with a big drop and its my job to get someone in to slope it? (i will ask the builder when I talk to them next).

The builder has left it at the moment but I'm thinking they'll atleast take the shoulder off before it becomes ours (in around 5 weeks) For reference, this is the Austlii reference. My take on this is, that they would be breaking the law denying access to a homeowner in Victoria, or their agent from having… 1 4948 PM me your email. I have a build excavation calculator you can use based on your plans to double check what your builder is telling you. Cheers Simeon 1 8003 |
