Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Neighbours completing fencing without permission 15Apr 14, 2017 4:05 pm I have to pay for my corner fencing as far as I know. The developer won't be paying I'm sure. I don't want to get off on the wrong foot with my neighbours although they really shouldn't have done it! If they send me a bill that seems reasonable I will just pay it. If they say nothing I won't ask. I think my part of that fence would only be $500-600 anyway as it's the shortest fence as our garages join.

If they send you a bill in the future (and I would guess they won't) get at least 1 quote yourself to make sure it was reasonable. I'm not sure about wooden fences but colorbond is about $35m. I'm paying $500 for a 15m fence. Fingers crossed you don't have to pay especially since you're already up for a bit with your other corner side fencing. majestic35.weebly.com Re: Neighbours completing fencing without permission 17Apr 14, 2017 5:39 pm Rocchet MoniqueElizabeth I have to pay for my corner fencing as far as I know.

I got quoted for $65 per metre for colorbond where did you get that quote from? Melbourne fencing specialists are fencing and they say developers pay half share, may be the developers you went with wont offer but many do, I guess the business knows better than us sitting here and making decisions for the rest on a forum. If they say developers pay then they pay there is no doubt about that.

If they say developers pay then they pay there is no doubt about that. I would be happy to pm all 3 fencing contacts I have. The price I put up was an approximate cost for the half share of the fence as that was what the poster had asked. I apologise if that wasn't clear. If you were paying the entire cost the price I paid would be closer to about $70m . Maybe VIC developers work differently to those in Sydney. If you'll read my post you will notice that at no time did I suggest what you stated was incorrect or attempt to make decisions for anyone. This forum is a great way to gain inspiration and assistance from the opinions of others going through the building experience. Opinions I myself value. Hopefully those opinions are all stated as respectfully as I make sure mine are majestic35.weebly.com Re: Neighbours completing fencing without permission 19Apr 14, 2017 6:07 pm sajidmib Rocchet MoniqueElizabeth I have to pay for my corner fencing as far as I know.

If they say developers pay then they pay there is no doubt about that. I apologise if I offended you that wasn't the intention. I'm not saying I am right but in my experience in Victoria it is very common for big developers to have a clause in the contract stating they only need to contribute $1.00 towards fencing on land they own. Wasn't trying to give advice, just sharing what I have experienced .

[/quote Likewise not offended sorry it wasn't meant to make issue out of it, just what i went thru with fencers I have done wooden fencing since my developers wont allow Colorbond but still i get quote for $53pm for wood $65pm for colorbond Didn't take the risk with colorbond as the fencer advised that the council may ask you to remove as per estate guidlines Below are my fencing fotos Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ But just to say why not ask fencer or the developer are you going to contribute or not, but some do ... lol I can help you with all that, you can PM me with details if you wish 3 5828 This certainly doesn't look good.
