Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Sep 14, 2018 11:48 am I just got my new constructed house handed over last week. Today I found my neighbour had extended his concrete from driveway to the right hand side of his house where is in border with my block. There is a boundary peg in front of our blocks, if I stand at the boundary peg and look ahead, I can feel that his extended concrete seems like going beyond the boundary to my block. Given the boundary peg had also been moved by building during construction, I'm also not quite sure if the peg was re-installed by the builder to the right place. I'm going to install fencing early next week, so I urgently need to got some one to double check the block boundary for me. Who should be the right person I speak to for this? the developer or council surveyor? Much appreciated for your advice.

The nail in the top of the buried one is the actual boundary point, maybe have a dog around and see if this is still there, should be within about 15-20cm of the visible one. Also, sometimes the estate marks up the block divisions on the kerb, might be a helpful starting point. Re: How to Identify Block Boundary 4Sep 14, 2018 1:18 pm What about checking your building plans? They should have distance from house to boundary marked, eg 900mm, then a quick tape measure between your house and the end of your neighbours concrete should give you a good idea.. Re: How to Identify Block Boundary 5Sep 14, 2018 8:00 pm That will all depend on how well your builder laid out your slab, they could be off by as much as 100mm at times Re: How to Identify Block Boundary 6Sep 14, 2018 9:05 pm joannapaulp When you say the boundary peg was moved, do you mean the one that sticks up that you can see, or the one that is buried in the ground nearby (the actual boundary peg).

The two-foot tall red and white stake is not the boundary peg, which is an official survey mark. Moving/tampering with survey marks is an offence (in QLD anyway). If the pegs are there, run a string line between them rather than trying to eyeball it. If one or more pegs are missing, the only way to reinstate is via a cadastral survey. thanks Chippy, i hope they have applied sealer but i am doubt to be honest, so i am gonna do this job after handover. 8 11897 You should be able to encase the sewer but you will need it designed and approved and access to lot 580 to do the work 2 12635 In WA zero lot is actually zero lot. We build 10mm in from the boundary. My house and my neighbours house have garages that sit only 20mm apart. When I had our roof done… 3 5497 |
