Fingers Crossed they treat you well x Re: Byford Central - M3 Residential - Waiting for Site Works 36Apr 22, 2015 9:04 pm Thanks Salsaby!!! Me too ! My Build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=74866 Re: Byford Central - M3 Residential - Waiting for Site Works 38May 19, 2015 7:01 pm Nice timing!! I actually just received an email from M3 attaching a letter from the council for NOT COMPLYING AND NO BUILDING PERMIT WILL BE ISSUED!!! 4 Items - Garage is too wide according to DAP - Incorrect DAP States garage does not exceed max width - Council F^&$K up Visually permeable fencing on the rear of lot - Shows this in Survey which Im guessing was sent to council? - Council f&$*K up Not providing BAL 12.5 information to council - M3 know that my block is BAL 12.5 as I have harassed them about it, and they can't even forward the right information onto the council. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT - Front entrance cannot be to the side of the house but must be to the front according to R Codes - This is the biggest design factor in my home. If this needs to change, I may as well sell the lot and buy somewhere else. M3 in their email have said they will make contact as these will require revisions!!! NO THEY F^$&*#$G WONT! M3 designed the side entrance and have the qualified people to know if their designs meet R Codes!!! MORE DELAYS!! Im guessing the promise of my house being completed before the end of the year is pretty much out of sight. NOT F&*$(^G HAPPY!!!

Guess you'd have to seriously consider now whether its worth persisting with M3 or cutting your losses and going with someone else. Cant imagine what you're going through having to make that choice! At least you've got people on here to bounce ideas off if you need Re: Byford Central - M3 Residential - Waiting for Site Works 40May 20, 2015 11:53 am And to add insult to injury - I just went on the Byford Central website - and they are now giving a 10k rebate on lots that need Fire Management Plan - I never got offered that!!! 10K out of my pocket!!!
