Hi Everyone,
Appreciate if you can give an advice or share you experience about the following:
My builder gave me a contract to sign, but I'm a little hesitant to do so, since they haven't delivered few reports as promised.
In particular, contour plan, Geotech, BAL assessment, and they also mentioned that there are some issues with BASIX.
I have moderately sloping block, thus over the past couple months I was reminding them about the contour, which in my view is critical for producing the accurate plan and knowing the site costs.
They say it can all be done after the sign off and treated as free of charge post contract variations.
Earlier I provided them with the contour plan and Geotech reports supplied by a vendor, but they still say they have to do their own, so it seems that they haven't factored those into the version of the plan attached to the contract.
They have a time limit of 14 days to sign the contract or all of the included discounts and promotions are gone, which sounds like a sales trick, nevertheless, this puts a bit of pressure on me.
Is it common approach or should I insist that all of the reports to be delivered and factored into the plan and the total prior to signing it?
Has anyone been in a similar situation?
Thanks.
