Show M The Money

Metricon have all the paperwork from the bank.Yippee they have all the figures and the ACC arrived. Its all going to plan. Ah but no they need more paperwork.....we are funding part of the build ourselves from the profits of our house sale so we have had to provide a copy of our bank statement showing that we actually have the cash. And just in case that's not enough we also had to get a statutory declaration signed saying we are in a position to pay.
No problem printed off, signed off, Justice of the Peaced (?) and faxed. OK Metricon the ball is back in your court......Now can we start our build please!

More Variations - Building Compliance

What More Paperwork?

Our CSC phoned yesterday to let us know that the compliance team had spotted a couple of things that needed attention for example because we have opted for a 2340mm front door the bulk head in the entry way needs to be made smaller or we can choose a smaller front door err just change the bulk head please. The vanities have been drawn at standard height but the ones noted in our contract are taller than this for some reason, now seeing as Sandy and I are both vertically challenged in the height department I explained we had not asked for taller units just to have the pedestals the same as the ones noted in the contract. Now they have to generate yet another variation form for us to sign off - I hope the changes mean we might save some money?!

What Happens Next?

Selection appointments are all done, so what happens now? Firstly we have to wait for the variations to be generated so we can sign off on them. Then we have to provide proof that we own the land e.g title or rates bill. Show Metricon the money....once we have all our figures for costings it's back to the bank to finalise the construction loan and send that in so they can see we can pay. And also give details of who will be doing our pool. Oh yes and pay the rest of our deposit!!
We are busy getting everything quoted so we can include as much as we can in the construction loan as possible but it still feels like we are now some how holding up the process! Our house plans have gone through the certifier and are in with Council so we could have approval any time now.
Once Metricon are satisfied with all the information and have double checked the contracts and drawings again then when they have the nod from council we will be provided with a start date.
Better get some phone calls done today so we can complete the things we need to do.

P.S We have another new CSC - that is now our third one.
