Im just wondering if anyone can answer this question about builder charge backs. We were knocked back on finance from the bank and gave the letter to the builder. The general manager of the building company advised that they will be sending me a bill for the outlay that they had as my deposit was less than what they had to spend doing the site surveys, energy certs ect and we can expect a bill for nearly $6,000. ( hadnt got to site yet ) Is there a clause under the HIA that says that? ( The GM said there is one ). Ive never heard of this before. We are in WA. Re: HIA CONTRACT 2Feb 17, 2016 2:42 pm Do you have a solicitor/ conveyancer, and does the builder have an itemised invoice to present to you for charges they are claiming? I would get the invoice first and then review your contract, maybe with the help of a solicitor, to confirm if it is documented that you would be liable. If you are intending to build with them in the near future after a few more months of saving, maybe any charges you might be liable for could be negotiated for a new tender when you re-apply for finance. Sorry I haven't had personal experience with this myself but check the contract.

I'm guessing a site survey and plans/tender prep is about it? So depends on how much deposit you paid and what they charge for these....As Janelly said ask for an itemised invoice and I'd probably call dept of fair trading or your states equivalent pronto You talk about deletions, are they variations or PS and PC adjustments? pleas list them 1 17160 Unless there is something in special conditions the builder does not have to give you timeline.

For our last build I only spoke to builders who would allow me easy access (at no cost). I used my own sparky… 10 10427 |
