You can request blacktown council for the sewer peg out as we did. And they will email it back to you just forward it onto your builder. You shouldnt need a peg out. The plans are clear enough. Our fees were waived once we provided the sewer peg out report.. thats all theyneed i guess thats what it is. So if you can contact sydney water or council and get this then you wouldnt need to pay ur builder 1.5k for it.

Re: Sewer Peg Out - please explain? 30May 01, 2013 6:35 pm We bought a vacant lot of land from Landcom. We have provided sewer "Work as constructed certification" from our contract to our home builder and they say they still need a peg out which would cost us $1500. Is our home builder taking us for a ride? There is a drop of less then 500mm from back to the front of the house. Less then 200mm drop after levelling the dirt. They want to charge us $1500 for drop edge beam. They say is a requirement for Bankstown council. Re: Sewer Peg Out - please explain? 31May 29, 2013 5:47 pm It may interest people to know that a pegout alone (not including fees for dealing with Sydney Water) can be had for $500 inc GST. So $1500 is definitely too marked-up if it is just for the pegout itself. Also check that the "Works as Executed" document can't be found first. Shows the same details as the pegout aims to show. Re: Sewer Peg Out - please explain? 33Jul 17, 2013 10:14 am I know this is dead thread but we are also getting charged this (1Kish). The bit that annoys me is that EBH have exclusive rights to the land to build on all of it, meaning they should of known about this and factor it into the price of the land Re: Sewer Peg Out - please explain? 35Jul 17, 2013 10:56 am Oh yeah I get that, but because EBH and Eden Grange are exclusive, the Sales person should of mentioned this and/or included this in the price of the land Re: Sewer Peg Out - please explain? 36Jul 17, 2013 11:12 am that is not realistic, this cost should however should be included in the cost to build, and should be in the final contract for the build.

Sewer peg out - fair price but information should be available from the developer Ahd plan - again developer should have a plan showing the levels of the ground as they lie and boundary dimensions Statement of environmental effect. Rip off. You could get a rough template from Google but they are not worth anywhere near that much. Thanks.
