Hi,
I am building our dream home with one of the leading custom builders in Melbourne. We are trying to figure out our construction start date.
Our contract says that the builder "will do everything that is reasonably possible for the builder to do to ensure that the works will start as soon as possible within 14 days of receipt by the builder of".
We signed the contract on 28/7/2016.
The builder always had the title.
Proof of finance was obtained on 8/8/2016.
Building permits were obtained 11/8/2016.
Yet the builder is saying the start date could be second week of September. Which is 4 weeks after receiving the final document for the builder to start work
Is 4 weeks a reasonable time for a custom builder to start work?
Thanks
