"Its not" Yeap, that’s right, the fence is no longer apparently in the way and my footings and slab will be laid next week, without anyone having to touch or move the fence. My blog (in signature) details the episode further, but in short once the Regional Building Manager went out to look at my block (a whole 10min journey from the head office) he booked the concreter in for next week. And that was after two supervisors both told me that I had to move the fence, even going to the extent of paying a surveyor to go out to the block to survey the fence lines. I feel much happier now! Stress Factor: lowered. Quote: I hope that the builder is paying for the surveyor as it is quite clear from the Act that a fence IS a dividing fence whether it's on the boundary or not as long as it performs the function of dividing the properties and is sufficient for its purpose. Thanks issitoq for replying (sorry I took so long to reply in turn). That the fence was a boundary fence was never an issue, I never disputed the fact and referred to it in my emails to the building company as a boundary fence. What was at issue was the constant assertion that the fence was in the way. The survey came back showing (even to my untrained eye) that my neighbours garage was 15mm off the boundary line, and that the fence (which extends from behind their garage) stays in line with the garage. But even then the builder still told me to remove the fence, it wasn’t until the Regional Manager actually went out to the site that he decided to agree with what I was saying and more importantly with what the survey was showing him, which was that while the fence is indeed a boundary fence, it is not ON the boundary but is wholly on my neighbours property and not in the way of the footings or wall of my house. So now all is good (until the next crisis) hehe.

So the final answer to my original question - Why is the fence in the way? is "Its not!" The blog of my home being built: http://glint-bladesong.blogspot.com/ 4 9047 Yeah mine about 9 metres long and 8 wide with slope of 25% at one point but the end point of the outlet is past the side of garage and if he concretes allowing for… 4 4516 I have a really long hallway which is 1100mm W x 11500mm L I would appreciate if anyone can give suggestions to light it up with Linear LED lights that goes from wall to… 0 8770 |
