Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 18, 2016 2:34 pm So we are building a house. We get a call from the builders next door wanting money for the fence. No consultation they start building the fence. We planned to build a retaining wall first. Should we pay anything as I'm not happy now. At first I agreed but didn't realised that already started. Hmm what to do. Maybe run with the flow Re: Fencing question, HELP 2Mar 18, 2016 2:48 pm Contact the owners of the property you can get their address from council Re: Fencing question, HELP 4Mar 18, 2016 4:07 pm I mean at first was this morning they called me.

Should we pay anything as I'm not happy now. At first I agreed but didn't realised that already started. Hmm what to do. Maybe run with the flow It really varies by state. In Vic from what I understand, if they build before contacting you OR before the 30 grace period is up you don't need to pay them. By law you need to give your neighbours 30 days notice (in which they must respond) and they can, if they want, get other quotes. If you contact them and wait the 30 days and they don't respond you can take them to court for the costs. Not sure what the regulations in other states are. Definitely call the fencing company and tell them you haven't been notified and call the builder and talk to the building supervisor.

Thank you 0 39046 We are at the stage on our build in Kilcoy, Queensland where we need to get our fencing installed but we cant get any contact details for our neighbours to give them… 0 6160 You can really use anything you want the main consideration would be how it looks once painted/finished - or the look you want. Cabinetmakers use MDF because its cheap… 2 9960 |
