Explorer St Gregory Hills http://lyndhurst21gregoryhills.blogspot.com.au/ Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 179Mar 21, 2013 8:22 am nlov Unlike u we are still not ready to go to CDC...still waiting for reports(?)...hydraulics report in particular I'm worried abt since my land actually slope (what I thought was a slight slope) 1.6m! I can't sleep just dreading the storm water issue that I may face. Did anyone have any issues with storm water drainage, have Pitts in place etc? Costs? Hi Nlov, What we have learnt along the way is get everything in writing, re-confirm with a follow-up email making things clear '..So just to confirm, your email states that we will be upgrading our oven at not extra cost..' (or whatever the matter may be) Make sure things are clear and not left up to interpretation. We also emailed and called our CSC regularly. We have had 5 different CSC's with our time with Clarendon and it has made it hard, but thankfully we've had emails to back up promises and issues discussed with each CSC, but even then we have had to fight hard for it! We originally had a provisional allowance of $2000 for stormwater hydraulics in our tender and $1400 for stormwater connection but our total cost for those items was $4460 which will be completed on behalf of Clarendon by Ibrahim Stormwater consultants and includes:
100mm stormwater lines rainwater tape connection to easement I know our land is on a bit of a slope (originally looked flat to me too haha) but i don't think it's as steep as 1.6m. I hope this helps. Am happy to provide any other details or answer any questions you might have. -Rubyam Re: Who's building with Clarendon?? 180Mar 25, 2013 12:07 pm Geeezzz i'm still waiting on that hydraulic's report...how long does these actually take?
