If only that were still an option out here... You mean 40 people infront of you in the queue ?? I know how hard it can be to secure a block of land, especially in North western Sydney ! Baulkham Hills Heath is spot on. Your SS is obliged to fix ALL defects regardless of which inspector picked them up. As Howard is a registered/ licensed building inspector, IF he picks up issues that are not to standard then your SS has to fix them. If your SS refuses then you can refuse to agree to settlement until the defects are fixed. Did howard pick up big issues or was it just the minor things like paint and plaster touchups?? From what I have read on H1, it has to be written in contract that builder has to fix all of the defects. Some 'defects' may not be defects at all. It might not be upto your satisfaction, but still be within the standards. You can't do anything then. I think the point that Heath and I were making was that any defects picked up by a licensed BUILDING INSPECTOR will be required to be fixed by your SS. It is not if it is up to yours/our standard or not. If it has been listed down as needing to be rectified by a building inspector then SS is obligated to fix the problem. The building inspector would know what is up to BCA standards or not and will view the house with those standards in mind.

Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10640Jun 16, 2014 3:00 pm Mystro, we have been waiting to hear from EB for the past 20 working days regarding our CDC approval which we were told its faster when submitted with a private certifier "Clearly not the case", only to chase them last Friday for any updates reg. approval, been told that some changes to plans are required due to acoustic requirements. My advice here you have to follow up everyday they tend to take their sweet time in delivering updates to clients very frustrating... Good Luck I built with EB back on 2009.
