My friend who is building in Lot 21 Bardia Avenue got BAL rating of 12.5. Can you please let me know if you are aware of BAL ratings issued in Bardia avenue particularly from Lot 26 ? Much appreciated and would helpful, Thanks Re: Building at Bardia - New Breeze 1294Mar 13, 2020 1:33 pm Hi Everyone, Can anyone recommend a good fencing company? Also, what should I expect to pay per square metre roughly? I've always gone for colorbond but this time we are required to install timber and I'm not across the typical costs for that. Thank you so much! Re: Building at Bardia - New Breeze 1295Mar 13, 2020 1:44 pm Cooky Hi Everyone, Can anyone recommend a good fencing company?

You can do whatever you like, but according to Dahua Group guidelines, it should be timber unless your lot has a high BAL rating. Mine doesn't. If i dont do timber, I lose the $1000 they took at settlement. You would have the same as we're near each other.

They already gave me my $1,000 back even before complying with their standards as outlined in guidelines. I can give you the name of the contact person if you want to get yours back? I think they may have done it by mistake but I wasn't going to say no to getting back my $1,000! I'm pretty sure my neighbours and I will all do colorbond. Just because it's cheaper and there's no maintenance.

Yes, please if you could that would be great. Re: Building at Bardia - New Breeze 1299Mar 14, 2020 10:54 am NZ89 Cooky Hi Everyone, Can anyone recommend a good fencing company?

Thank you so much! Hey who said you need to do timber? I called council and New Breeze and they said I could do colorbond. I went to the New Breeze office today. The guidelines as stipulated during settlement stipp apply, in fact now they are more detailed. There's a form you fill in once OC has been received, and someone from Dahua Group will come out to inspect all guidelines have been met and only then will your $1000 will be returned.

Who did you speak with? Hey In my opinion, it's best to speak to council, not New Breeze. I feel council knows more and they will be the one generally enforcing rules, not the developer. Get the name of the person you spoke to so you have a record. Also, all the houses very close to us are all colour-bond. When I spoke to council, she said pretty much word for word "It says timber, but, colour-bond is fine too". I definitely don't want you to get in trouble for anything, so you do what you think is best of course! I found the email trail with me getting the $1,000 back, before house completion. My conveyancer contacted them and ask for the $1,000. That might be your best bet, getting them to contact the lady below, not you directly contacting them. Contact details are below of the lady who was emailed and who processed my refund. I got the refund last June actually, even before my house officially settled!
