Anyway, can any one tell me if the below looks like it's going to be an expensive job - based on size? Can it be done after handover or does it need to be in place in order to get OC? TIA!

That's what I was thinking - to question it as well because our land is pretty level too. But I thought if the Contour Survey says I need it, then I probably have no choice...

It looks like your land slopes 200mm down from right to left over the length of that retaining wall. Can't see whether your house is cut or filled at that point relative to the natural ground level. IF you need a wall it doesn't look like much to me.

Our rain tank is being checked on Monday because it’s leaking and we have a Di Lorenzo rep coming out to inspect some of our tiling we’re not happy with. Had a locksmith on site because the pins didn’t drop properly on our front door so our key wouldn’t work. He was lovely despite the fact it was nearly 40C and he was working out the back of his truck. I felt terrible for him and our fencers working in that heat. Have found one major issue that wasn’t picked up at all during our inspections or by the private inspector and that’s that one of our stacker door frames is bowed along the bottom due to slightly uneven bricks. The doors themselves work ok but we had them measured for crimsafe screen doors and they fall off the rails because of the bowing. I will contact our SS on Monday but I suspect it will have to go on our 90 day maintenance list so there is something to look out for. Definitely a pro for having Wisdom complete your screen doors before handover. Take time get settled and enjoy your new place for all the hard work done since past 2 years .

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Hi all dont worry about those retaining walls on the plan. Most likely things will change anyway depending on whether you would like to do additional cut or fill the side areas. It also depends on what your neighbour will be doing whether cutting/filling/maintain the natural ground level. Can someone please offer some advice? Im DESPERATE.
