How can that be at your cost to put it through council again?!? Have you spoken to your solicitor about the idea of going to the local paper? Do you have to build with them? Re: Slab in wrong spot Pt 2! 7Mar 17, 2007 7:07 am Time for another update! Well it took them FOUR months (instead of the 2 weeks we were promised) but we finally have a new slab in the right spot. It was laid last week. Last week i got a letter from the builder asking for an extension of time. I told them where to go! Otherwise there will be no motivation for them to hurry up and finish the damn house!
From Jen H: That's awful! How can that be at your cost to put it through council again?!? Have you spoken to your solicitor about the idea of going to the local paper? Do you have to build with them? Going back through council cost about $600 i think which isn't that much but it wasn't our problem to be paying for. We couldn't really change builders because we had signed the contract and to go to another builder we would have had to pay to get the slab ripped up ourselves so it just wasn't worth it financially. I was considering getting the media involved but i think that will make the relationship with the builder even more tense. We will see how the finished product ends up! I'll keep you posted. name the builder 10Mar 23, 2007 5:08 pm Please name the builder as they seemed to build every where.
Next door to my house ******* builder registered in Robina (just 2 years on the market) positioned his GREEN house accross the land with the corner on my boundary. This block of land is 600m2 and they turn it around to not to cut the DEAD tree.... There are certain things that builder should not do... so if they will have less business this will be the best punishment. thanks kate Re: Slab in wrong spot Pt 2! 11Mar 23, 2007 5:38 pm Just a quick note to add my 10cents worth ! Princess Sooty , great that you keep coming back and updating. So many people have seemed to start a thread then not bother finishing it ? Its like reading a book and finding the last 2 pages have been ripped out ! Hope things are going smoothly for you now ?? best wishes "MO" Its better to regret things you,ve done, than things you haven't. BUT Never regret growing old because some people never have the privilege. Re: Slab in wrong spot Pt 2! 12Jan 03, 2018 3:43 pm Hi, Looks like I'm in the same boat as you but I have Complying development stamped approved plans that the builder cant even say he never saw. My builder has made me pay 10K to encase a sewer line so that I can build my house over the sewer and not lose any backyard space (2 metres if I didn't opt for that). But whilst they encased the sewer, they also decided to use a draft version plan that was not to include the encasing which meant I lost backyard.... So somehow they used the wrong plans and not the approved signed and stamped ones. Not sure where I will end up with this. The builder is on holidays and nobody is answering my calls/texts and emails and I have to wait stressing for another week before they get back to work and advise me what they intend to do. Only option is to demolish the slab for me as well and build where they should have built as I have a pool going in. Cant believe the incompetence. A surveyor, site supervisor, concreter and certifier all missed that they built the slab in the wrong spot. I was the only one that noticed.
