Is it necessary to go through the contract clause by clause or the HIA contract is a standard one and we really don't need to worry about it? Need some kind help! Thanks in advance. Make sure you amend the Liquidated Damages to a higher amount (say $50) and make sure it is PER DAY (not working day). I would not accept any contract extension fee whatsoever ever. They want you to sign so you should tell them that you want at least another 4 months or however long you think you need. All sales consultants have the power to get this thru if it means a sale. From about Clause 40 onward, you will see there are printed pages which ARE NOT HIA standard. This is M’s way of amending the contract in their favour. Finally you should have a chat with your bank (if you’re using a mortgage) as to whether they are happy with the % progress payments. It is severely stacked in their favour and you may wish to have it changed so that it is not stacked so far forward in M’s favour. eg the last payment is 5%, which is unrealistic. Also, just want to double check. By contract extension fee you mean the fees we need to pay if the building work could not start after 240 days from the initial deposit, right? Re: Building with Metricon - Liberty 45 - NSW 20Nov 06, 2017 1:51 am dfin Hi All, Finally, we are going to sign the contract for Liberty 45 in the coming week. This is actually 6 month after the initial tender ... we might need to pay the extra fee for not able to start the job on time. Initially, we chose Pheonix 38 and ordered the PC, but we were not very comfortable with the changes we made and were in the state of hesitation ... Somehow, we came across the Liberty 45 when skimming the brochure. Both wife and I liked the floor plan. Though not very sure how we over looked it, we decided to go with the Liberty 45. So, the contract appointment is booked for next week, we have already received the blank HIA contract. Is it necessary to go through the contract clause by clause or the HIA contract is a standard one and we really don't need to worry about it? Need some kind help! Thanks in advance. Also want some inputs on an issue with the dinning area. Bcause the floor ratio limitation, we have to reduce the size of the dinning area. Now the depth of it is only about 2.3 meters, will this be a problem. Did not actually think it through previously. Is there any suggestion on the kitchen/dinning floor plan change to mitigate it?
