Hi,
Sorry if I'm doing this wrong. It is my first time using Homeone.
We have purchased a land in Rousehill with Century21. Were told we could only use Noble Home Builders as they own the land? Annoying but fine whatever.
Picked out a home build design ($280k fixed cost) and paid for the premium upgrade package (29K which doesnt include much tbh) minus landscaping (landscaping on the packages in writing included fencing, drive way, some pebble walkway and some plants. No retaining wall mentioned. They did say however, this landscaping would include a retaining wall for the fencing. We didn't chose as it was an extra 23K+ and we can't afford it at this time.)
Today got our pre-submission drawings and it says retaining wall around a house (not for fencing) is 'by owner'. There is no mention of retaining walls in our contract. We talked with Noble Builders and they said we need to pay for it. Totally panicking as we can't afford it. We know nothing about building a home (first home buyers) and I assumed if it's needed it should of been in the building contract?
Please please advise, we are so lost. I've been googling frantically and cannot find any real answers.
Edit: We were told without the retaining walls we wont get the occupation certificate and therefore won't be able to move in once it's finished being built.
