I read horror stories on the net re being charged $2,000 for a concrete pump, which then never shows up. In a TV show, a Dale Alcock home has to be demolished as the steel was laid flat on the sand or plastic without the common plastic "seats" to hold the steel off the ground. Thanks. We include a concrete pump in the price of the house, all builders should as nobody barrows slabs, you dont normally need one for the footings unless it's a clay site or a 2 Storey. That one for Dale's (I dont work for them) he did the right thing in my opinion & complied with the requirements of the building commission. The company I work for does a slab inspection prior to pouring by the engineer who certified that particular house (there wouldn't be to many builders in perth who do that) the engineer also does a roof inspection on around every 3 or 4th roof, its insurance for both us the builder and the clients who get piece of mind. The price for the NBN run ins should also be included in the price of the house, doesn't matter if your in an NBN area or not you have to comply with NBN requirements, that's in the telecommunications act.
