Faerie, where are you buidling your santorini? ive been chasing my quote only to be told today that it has been sent to head office for approval. we are buildingin somerfield estate which requires 600mm eaves, our block is only 16m wide, we may not be able to fit it the santorini on our block! Can anyone tell me how long they waited for their house to be sited on their block using the geosite technology? ive been very patient, been nearly a week! slknv, $500 for the evaporative provisions is a bit pricey compared to porter davis, but i guess its better to get it all connected and ready for installation later!

Re: Metr!con Homes: Universal Info - Tile Studio website! 36Dec 01, 2009 5:47 pm we received our frame stage invoice the other day and of course big M are wanting payment within 7 days. So I went out to the site to take a look and noticed that they still only had temporary retraints....... if this is the case i dont think big M would of had a suvrey done (by their own company). i double checked the contract and frame payment is only payable upon the frame been passed by building surveyor. I put a call into the accounts payable to ask for a copy of the report and low and behold they couldn't find one. Of course they apologised and have "cancelled" the invoice. So more just a heads up, dont pay just because you have received an invoice just make sure that what is defined in the contract has occured. Another point to note, just becuase you pay an invoice does not mean you agree to the quailty of the work, there is a consumer protection clause within the contract that states this as well. happy building Williams Landing Stage 2 - Building Nolan with Big M - Slab Poured 09/11/09 Frame started 17/11/09 Brick started 05/01/10 Lock-up 31/01/10 Re: Metr!con Homes: Universal Info - Tile Studio website! 37Dec 01, 2009 6:28 pm kotajerapi Can anyone tell me how long they waited for their house to be sited on their block using the geosite technology? ive been very patient, been nearly a week! slknv, $500 for the evaporative provisions is a bit pricey compared to porter davis, but i guess its better to get it all connected and ready for installation later! We never got a "geosite" thing done, just a normal siting diagram on a survey of our block And yeah $500 is a lot more than PD, not sure if PD give you the "upgraded roof trusses" for that price though. If PD just gives you a powerpoint and water point, with M it's about $50 for the powerpoint and $110 or so for the water point, so the roof truss upgrade is about another $350 on top of that, if you get what I mean cotbfamily we received our frame stage invoice the other day and of course big M are wanting payment within 7 days.... got a blog or any pics??? We're still waiting for site start for our nolan - I hate looking at our empty block with mud and no construction!

With the building surveyor, do we get a copy of the report sent to us or do we have to chase it up like yourself??

Cheers you do need to ask for it, but you might find they are not willing to give it out! Williams Landing Stage 2 - Building Nolan with Big M - Slab Poured 09/11/09 Frame started 17/11/09 Brick started 05/01/10 Lock-up 31/01/10 I would suggest you simply go and talk to council about your proposal, most councils are getting onboard with ancillary dwellings. There is no benefit in keeping it… 1 2808 I think the proposal that a supply and demand curve are a natural law are well exaggerated. Wages never seem to follow this curve, and also prices for supply are sticky… 18 20167 Tradie may sit at home but will need to get house plastered as well or will you sit it out? 6 7661 |
