Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 08, 2018 5:17 pm Hi All, Anyone building in Stage 3 Macarthur Heights? Wondering if anyone has done their BAL assessment and could recommend an assessor. Our builder did a self assessment of 12.5 but I am concerned this is not accurate and may hold up our DA approval. As first time builders we are a bit confused and our builder isn’t much help as they don’t get back to us. Any ideas as to what we should do would be appreciated. Cheers. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes Macarthur Heights 2Mar 08, 2018 6:25 pm Hi Mish, We are going to be building in Stage 2 Release 7 Macarthur Heights. Would be interested in what people recommend, but our builder gave us an assesment of 29 in our tender. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes Macarthur Heights 3Mar 08, 2018 6:48 pm Hi Stargazers, Are you on Mahoney Drive opposite the bush corridor that runs between stages 2 and 3? We are on the otherside on Fleming Drive, 2nd lot from the corner. I was hoping for a BAL of 19. I have a family member who is building atm and her property is surrounded by bush and got a rating of 29. I think a 29 rating is a bit rough for a bit of trees.

However it is subject to assessment so perhaps it will be downgraded later. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes Macarthur Heights 5Mar 08, 2018 7:53 pm I think project builders make it sound harder and costlier than what it is, my house is rated at BAL 29 and 19 for back of the house, but house is built 90% BAL 40 standard. Difference being thickness of my glazing is 1mm less than what is required for BAL 40, the walls, roof etc are all BAL 40. standard. House is clad in brick, wrapped in sarking and steel cladding, Bal 12.5 is just steel mesh flyscreens on openings of the top of my head. Can someone please offer some advice? Im DESPERATE.
