Fingers crossed for you! Re: Building Hudson with Simonds at North Melbourne 16Apr 07, 2017 4:03 pm Need some advice. Are builders allowed to do soil test before land titles? My land has been pushed 3 months from initial date, just hoping if I sort out everything with builder including soil test and council approval, can start on build a soon as land settles.
