Browse Forums Building A New House Re: New Breeze Bardia 7Sep 10, 2018 9:19 am Hope this helps someone else as well: My lot registered in Sep 2017 and at that time I paid council charges/rates to New Breeze/Dahua via my solicitor. This was as per the agreed contractual understanding. At that time, New Breeze/Dahua did not pay the rates for 17-18 to Campbelltown and I paid those in full in Feb'18 after I received a notice/invoice. Subsequently after 6 months of followup by my solicitor with New Breeze/Dahua there was an acknowledgement that they had not paid council. Pursuant to my followup for a refund, they paid that to council in Jul'18...as a result my property account is in credit so no more payments during the year. Please check your payments and followup for a refund where required. Re: New Breeze Bardia 8Oct 12, 2018 2:49 pm Hi Guys, My bank is asking for "uilder’s contracts work insurance" before releasing the consturction commencement letter. But my builders isnt ready to pay, he said that this insurance is not part of our building contract and the customer has to pay. Any insight here would be much helpful.

Shisir The builder is legally required to have the insurance where the contract value is more than $20k. The builders do this all the time (obtain insurance). I am really surprised why your builder is refusing to obtain and provide that insurance. There is no way that you should be paying for his insurance.

Shisir If you choose design from a builder, normally, its builder job to pay for the insurance. I never heard you have to pay it yourself. You will only pay your own insurance if you manage everything yourself.
