Yep, increases the floor space internally without costing more for extra roofing materials. I had to add eaves to the house i chose due to the developers restrictions. Cost me nearly 2k extra...

I finally got council approval last week, and i'm now on the "slab list"!!! So hopefully in the next couple of weeks i should start seeing something actually happening on my expensive sandpit.

Made the final payment to the builder for our house on
Tuesday, so I rang them up yesterday to book a time
to get the keys and let them know there are still a few
things to that the supervisor still hasn't done.

This is the reply I recieved:

"tell Someone that actually cares about it and come get your keys"

Let's just say I was not shocked as they have been like this
throughout the whole process!

Going to pick up the keys right now so things may get interesting!

FUCK CONTENT LIVING!!!!!!!

I have to throw a pad down by Dec 31st, otherwise i miss out on the grant... owner-builder. im shit outta luck
sucks!

Did anyone have to sign an agreement saying that you have to book a meeting to view your house while under construction? Apparently you need to be escorted by the supervisor who holds a blue card, If the building inspector catches you on the work site on your own you get a fine, which is $5000 for the first offense then $6000 for the second offense.
Apparently its a HIA contract

anyone else sign this?

^^ not sure if builders make you sign any thing I do know its the law. You must have a blue (green now i think) card to work on site and be with somebody if you enter a site.

I see owners walking on sites all the time, your not really allowed to though because of blue card and its not your house yet, Ive never seen a building inspector either lol.

I thought it was White card now? Anyone confirm?

I know you more then likely had no chose but if you can don't make last payment until you are happy with it. The think the builders work on is a call PCI (practical completion). Any maintenance or bad workmanship is not covered in this as practically the house is completed. I feel for you building with them.

You can get a blue card online for about $75. Blue dog training or something I think its called.

Theoretically the builder has "posession of site" so they control who is allowed onsite. Most of the time that includes the owner.
