The most difficult thing for me is being patient and from my experience so far that's the one thing you need a lot of. I'm interested to find out how much a building inspector will cost as well and also their name. Oh i see. So it really takes 20 business days? It cannot be earlier? Hahaha It doesn't necessarily take 20 busines days but that's the maximun time stated in the contract and from what I'm reading the buiders seem to be mostly taking the full 20 days for some reason. Re: Building with New Living Homes 29Jul 06, 2018 11:34 pm ZoranaAlex sudu on every stage I appointed independent inspector and found lots of issues. And they took ages to fix all the issues before going to next stage. that delayed the whole build. Oh wow! So it might be worth getting a independent inspector then? How much roughly do they cost, if you don’t mind me asking? That’s usually how it goes with banks/builder- if you’re late you have to pay and they will chase you, but if its from their end they don’t care! For 3 stages it cost me $1450.

Hi Addell, They will email you saying your job has been released to contruction. I know the wait is so frustrating! WE didn't have any activity on the site until about 2 weeks after we were released.
