Anyone who went over tender expire date, what kind of fee is charged or added to the tender amount.
I just realized we have only 12 working days and due to the difference in DEP and EP our bank want to revaluate LVR.
We were charged $6.5k and we ended up being approx 2.5 months after our original expiry. We paid $3k for a 6 month extension way back at tender stage to make it 12 months too so we truly got stung
Also worth noting that when we did get that $6.5k charge it only extended our tender date by another month (from 10th Jan to 10th Feb). After that they could increase it again if they wanted.
You might be ok though. Our charge was given to us after DEP so they could add it to EP. But if you already have your EP then it might be too late for them to add another charge...

We recently signed off our DEP.. However our consultant has come back with construction plans that are similar to our tender plans. What are the stages after the DEP.
According to me we should have got the working drawings? There are no kitchen plans as well?
We didn’t have kitchen plans in our construction plans either. Just the layout was reflected on the main plans (our stove was in the wrong spot ).
Read every note on every page. Our sound insulation was also listed wrong. The other things we had issues with was a mystery window appeared in our laundry that we had deleted back at tender and wasn’t on any other plans. And we had all of our wall blocking noted so we made sure that in the right place.
After we signed them off it was final end panel, bank approval for construction payments to commence and the end of admin.
One thing no one else has mentioned is they request a date stamped photo of your cleared land when you move to estimating.
I went to take our photo 2 days later to find our fence and portaloo already there plus a big pile of fill from next door we had to move 🤦♀️[/quote]They requested the photo but I never sent it and they put the fence up and toilet quickly after wrapping up admin. You don't really need to but just make sure ur land is cleared
