Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building at Willowdale 3113Jan 03, 2018 3:50 pm Hi Everyone, Just wanting to know if anyone has gone through a nightmare I'm about to go through. Its the holiday period and my slab was built prior to Christmas and I have just discovered that the builder has used the wrong plans and built my slab in the wrong spot. I'm unsure how this would even have happened. So now I'm left with a 2 metre shorter backyard, a 10K encasement bill that I paid so that I didn't lose the 2 metres, and a slab that has been built because of someone's negligence. I'm unsure what options I have. I haven't been able to get in contact with anyone from the building company and am stressing to the max. Has anyone ever gone through this and if so, how was it rectified. The only way I see this rectified is if the slab is demolished and started again as I need to fit in a pool. Absolutely devastated and everyone is currently on holidays so this stressed out feeling will go on for another 2 weeks. My dream home in Willowdale has turned into a nightmare. I don't even know how something like this would happen considering the number of times I signed the plans over and over again. A site supervisor, a surveyor, a certifier and the concreter all missed it. I noticed it!!

I'm in stage 14 and my plans had the option of a driveway either LHS or RHS. I chose the RHS and these plans were submitted to stocklands. So not sure what happened there Hi kly525, lol..yep - I had a tree planted on both sides in front of my block, despite the plans being submitted to stocklands. They eventually removed the ‘wrong’ tree, & all was good. Sometimes the guys planting don’t have clear block info...glad it’s all fixed Sent from my iThing via Tapatalk hi kly525, on which street are you? i'm on Limebrook Cr Re: Building at Willowdale 3115Jan 31, 2018 7:33 pm waza PixiGT kly525 Thanks guys, i finally spoke with someone from stockland and they will organise to move the tree.

Has anyone had feedback from Campbelltown council regarding retaining walls? We were planning to use timber sleepers but I've been informed by someone from the council that retaining walls need to be made of masonary materials?? Re: Building at Willowdale 3117Feb 16, 2018 8:55 am I know that retaining walls at the front of the house (seen from street) need to be masonry or similar. This is in the willowdale design guideline. But behind the house i do not know. We might be in a similar position so would be good to know. cheers Re: Building at Willowdale 3118Feb 16, 2018 10:14 am Hi everyone, Can someone recommend me their PCI inspector they have additionally used to do PCI with your site supervisor?
