Re: What happens at completion/handover? 9Aug 25, 2012 8:51 am Banks pay as per the building contract. Whenever I have built I always saved cash for other things that were not in my building contract (ie landscaping etc). If there were excess funds from the amount requested to be borrowed then these were paid into a bank account of my choice at settlement/handover.

To get OC, do we need to have landscape & retaining walls done too? Once we get OC, will council come & inspect again? We have our full OC without retaining walls and landscaping,however our retaining walls are not part of the DA, where as your are, so you may need them for your OC. The final inspection is done by the principle certifying authority, which may be council or a private certified, dependent on who wisdom use. Re: What happens at completion/handover? 11Aug 25, 2012 1:00 pm Thanks everyone. Our bank have confirmed that they don't require any documentation for final payment to be made, which is a relief as we may move in before IOC/OC paperwork is finalised. Just got to clarify with our building manager about the PCI before handover as he has aonly been speaking of handover (but our sales contact has confirmed we will have PCI walkthrough as well) and any defects will be rectified before handover.

I'll need to speak to the bank then to check if they need IOC before handover. Re: What happens at completion/handover? 13Aug 25, 2012 3:27 pm Wilcres - FYI, Westpac don't.

Nina, you mean they don't need IOC or they don't allow us move in without OC?

In my case I bought structural LVLs and scraped them back and used them as joists. 1 5198 Like I said the Occupancy Certificate is not the tollgate that marks the completion of the house.
