Sandarra Facebook Group Re: Building with Metric0n 15Oct 03, 2009 5:18 am Hi kbudggie, our late variation was brick in fills above the windows on side and rear of the house and they slugged us 500 to re-draft the plans and a 500 late fee. Which was harsh as we weren’t informed about the brick in fills until the contract was signed. Where about are you going to build?

Which was harsh as we weren’t informed about the brick in fills until the contract was signed. Where about are you going to build? We are building just down the road from you in Sandarra. Our final plans have not been drawn up yet and we had the in fills added in too which were a pre-construction variation. We never had a walk-through and I am sure that has caused a lot of issues for us and we may be missing out on things we were never offered or made aware of but oh well!

They never mentioned them to me either until I asked. Yet it's an issue that EVERY home builder will be interested in.

We had the same thing happen to us, never had a full walk through and they never take you out side to show you around the outside of the house or we would of picked up on the brick in-fill. Lucky for us we have a friend who’s an owner builder and friend that had built in the past and they brought to our attention a lot of things to add to the house, which the builder never brought up with us. We swapped and changed a lot thing before signing the contract, just took for granted that brick in-fills were a normal practice in building. But all is good now, for now. Are you doing many things to the house after hand over?
