However, despite the main entrance being padlocked, there is other ways to get in. I wouldn't say this, but even a rep from my builder in the design studio literally told us they did it during their own build and suggested to do so as it can difficult to arrange inspections outside of the main ones like pre-lining.. I would suggest early morning before any building starts, as i would understand if other builders around or even pedestrians thought you were trying to steal etc... Be careful not to injure yourself, as you would be liable, builder cant be held liable if it's not an organzied visit. But yeah, we get most of our stuff via photos on our portal, but i am attending tomorrow for our pre-lining inspection. My experience is the padlock code is either the post code youre building in or the post code of the builders office We, living next to our build, would often be the people that told the tradie the code to open the gate. Wouldn't be surprised. Ours is an actual key padlock, but yeah, no point of it when anyone can just open the fence with ease.

Someone removed the link things on the side temp fencing so we had our own private entry in/out of the build - not that we went in often, seeing it 24/7 meant it wasnt too interesting plus our SS would let us in all the time if we wanted to/something new happened to see Re: How often do you visit your site? 733May 24, 2024 10:31 am Denali nickmaj Wouldn't be surprised.
