Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 06, 2017 11:26 am Hi Guys, Any had or know of anyone having beautiful drainage pit/grate in driveway crossover. Any chance you can move it? or what are my options . Also, when we purchase the land (we are on land house package) where they mentioned all the easement around it, that beutiful drainage pit is never mentioned there... .. and they just mentioning it now after settlement and nearly starting the build.. can i go against the builder on it... here is the location: drainage pit crossover Thank you..

(so they might wiggle out of this one saying it was your responsibility to inspect the land) but it is a question worth asking your conveyancer. good luck Re: Help/Advise for drainage pit/grate in driveway crossover 3Jul 06, 2017 12:14 pm thanks lovisa... when we signed for the land and package there was no actual site to inspect .. the road hasn't built yet and the whole block is inaccessible during that time.. All we have are just documents plan of the whole block from developer where our blocks, what are easement and where the road are...and fully based on that .. anyway.. we'll try that on our convenyancer.. Chasing/challenging our builder would be my last option .. I'll try to know first what are my normal options and all that stuff.. Had a new driveway installed with a 6 metre long 150 x 150 channel drain and have since found out it has 4cm of water sitting at the bottom below the side pipe… 0 4726 Thanks for that, the PVC pipe is still about 40cm below ground level and it sticks out of the sand with no end cap or anything on it just open pipe, is this the finished… 2 10476 I am looking for someone who might have tackled a similar issue as me.
