Sherridon Homes asking for more money after 10 months of con

Totally agree. I'm just trying to say it's wrong and it's unfortunate that it costs a fortune to stand up for yourself.

Check the special conditions the builders has put into the contract also

Vague terms, yes 100% agree. Which means it comes down to personal interpretation.
I don't know about all contracts, but with ours I believe they can only charge more for…

Totally get what you are saying, but the fact is they can't do that. They need to be held accountable and stop taking advantage of their customers.

Do you have a rise and fall clause in your contract?

2 years2 yearsMatevieflickMatevieflick posted:

Pretty sure they can't do that. It's legit only for structual changes house needs. People need to stand up to these builders. The industry is so corrupt and they bully…

Can you give me an example of a variation that would add to cost and not actually be required for a build?

2 years2 yearsMatevieflickMatevieflick posted:

It will depend on the special clauses in contract as to if they can do this. Otherwise the builder wears the extra cost.

My drawings state with a site cut must have shallow agricultural drain or (swale drain) at base of the cut directly onto natural material.
Then states refer to AS2870-2011 section 5.6.1,…
