Browse Forums General Discussion Re: builders trespassing on your land without consent 15Aug 09, 2011 4:06 pm just Erin Was the builder aware the other block was also yours? What are your plans for the other block? It's not uncommon that trades will deliver materials in available space. The block would have appeared that it wasn't currently in use so they would have thought they weren't doing anything wrong. I'm sure if you ask them nicely to flatten the land they will. They may leave it until they do the final site scrape on your build side, and do them both at the same time. just had to mention that they have not been employed by me........ they have been employed by our neighbours to build a house. We have not dealt with them prior to this Re: builders trespassing on your land without consent 16Aug 27, 2011 8:29 am just a quick update...I have sent the builder in question an invoice for my time and will be taking the matter further as it has not been rectified Re: builders trespassing on your land without consent 17Aug 27, 2011 9:03 am Wouldn't the issue just be rectified when you start building and your site scrape takes place? Tyre marks??? Is this just a battle based on principal rather than any sort of substantial damage?

Tyre marks??? Is this just a battle based on principal rather than any sort of substantial damage? What if she has delays for a few years and the block needs constant mowing, should she have to do the impossible by mowing over a rutted block form builders tyre tracks ? If you have ever tried to mow a block with hidden ruts under the grass you will soon realise that it is NOT just a small problem, and besides, why shouldn't the damm builder clean up after him, after all he WAS trespassing.

Is this just a battle based on principal rather than any sort of substantial damage? on that particular side of the block there wont be any building going on as it will interfere with our waterviews...I wouldnt classify the damaged caused of tire marks as being minor either......as it turns out they have broken the summary offences act 1966 SECT 9 and dont want to rectify the damage that they or any ot there employees caused. let me put it this way...if someone broke a window at your house would you persue it and make sure that they have it repaired or fixed at there expense as they damaged it through being careless? what if it was something minor such as a small hole?
