Our DA ( first floor addition) was finally approved after 3 months’ waiting. And I got a call from my builder to ask me to sign the final contract with another building company (one of their sub contractor), as they had met their annual home builder insurance limit. They told me the building team will still be the same.
But I am quite worried about the future warranty claim, as If the sub contractor disappeared, it will be quite hard for me to claim the warranty repair.... I shared my concern with my friends, most of them recommend me to only sign the contract with the building company I am dealing with, just in case I will be kicked around for future warranty issue.... but this means I will have to wait until next year....
May I know if anyone has the similar experience? Thank you very much

So just make sure you are dealing with him direct and he/she is aware of the circumstances and more importantly your expectations. It does sound great but these two builders relationship might me very strong so just get as much clarity from them as possible Registered Building - Always happy to help where I can and simply loves the game. DM me if you need help in VIC. Thanks all for the responses. Much appreciated. Hopefully the deadline could be extended, which makes whole lot more senses. 4 1802 As the OP has posted he has provided all relevant documents and has the communications trail to prove it 10 2530  Absolutely right, Private Inspections are more for your own satisfaction but does not guarantee the builder will follow up on fixing any of the defects reported unless… 11 2304 |
