Same with plumbing which is self certfying, the building surveyor only needs to sight the certificate as 'proof' of compliance.

Definitely agree but it really is a task getting them to fix the issues. I just don't get how they invoice without completing a job and the contract just lets them do it. Something wrong with the building act i think! Mostly on the side of the builders! How are you holding off the final payment? I didn’t hold off any payments @gwj .. they always issued invoices way before work was finished .. our SS was good so I trusted him. The final invoice got issued last week .. it’s dated 30/4 but I think was issued last Tuesday .. the bank told me not to send it unless it’s occupied with certificate of occupancy which we are waiting for ... DJM inspected last week but it didn’t get approved due to some outstanding things ... _________________________________________ Regards Manj https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=88256 Re: Arden Homes Inspectors 33Apr 29, 2019 10:13 pm Manj Gwij Manj @gwj ... tagging you since I think its good you have a read Good one.

Yeah i told them about the bank's process just now that we can't issue the final payment till we get all the required documentation and after the bank inspection is done Manj. I trust our SS too which is why i'm not too fussed but they have to fix the defects our inspector reports on. I feel like these are the toughest stages to get through.

The bank paid it within 7 working days. And mind you this was an invoice where the work wasn't even completed. After tender it goes pretty downhill admin wise. I'm quite nervous about final if this is how they play it. How can they invoice you when DJM hasn't even given the ok. They're really breaking the law here i think. My SS so far hasn't said work is completed without DJM approval.
