There is not much happening since we signed the contract with MJH last week. We are signing a post contract variation for additional water points to be available both in bathroom and ensuite near commode. This fitting needs to have a 'non-return valve' which eventually requires annual inspection by Water Board Authority perhaps. Still we have decided to have it. We will be installing hand-showers to those water points after hand-over.
MJH will be sending us 'building insurance' which is required for construction loan approval as well. Upon seeing it, we are to pay a certain percentage of deposit to the builder.
Apart from that, landscaping quotation came in. It includes driveway, fencing, letterbox, clothesline everything as per landscape plan. However, this is a tentative quotation to submit to our financial lender. The landscaper needs to visit the site after slab work is completed to check if any retaining walls, sub-surface drainage would be required and to revise the quotation accordingly.
We have already submitted the building contract, flooring and landscaping quotations to the bank. They are reviewing our documents for approval on construction loan.
We were expecting the electrical appointment soon after we signed the contract, but there was no slot available this week. So, it is now set for 19-May as we are not available in between. But this should not delay anything as the builder can still submit the documents for council approval etc without an electrical plan.
We really hope construction on our plot starts before that of our neighboring plots. Otherwise, they can dump extra soil to your plot and builder will need a clean plot to start construction. Unfortunately, soil removal responsibility is on owner. We just don't want this type of event to delay our construction any further. Thinking of putting up a sign:
And here is our plot:
