    Have you found yourself a PM John? If not then I would like to have a chat.

    The RBS can only inspect and approve based upon what is inspected on the day of inspection. With a year now passed is it possible that additional works have now brought on the non-compliance?

    No, they can’t. Surely obtaining the OC is a part of the builder’s contractual obligations?

    the house is 50 degree slope and the rest is ok. Current situation is liveable.

    Presumably this is a typo and you mean 5 degrees? If not you had better buy your tenants a few ladders to get around the house.

    Contact Archicentre for some suitable architects to prepare DA plans & specs.

    Too late, they shut up shop a month ago.

    Hire a temp bathroom for them or put them up in a hotel.

    Yuley,
    I replied this morning but it seems my PMs aren’t getting through. Still available at the listed price

    Richmond 3121, but preferred pick up is from Malvern 3144 during the day. They are too heavy to post.

    I’d be talking to the supplier /installer as the first port of call.

    Realistically how much are you out of pocket in a month?

    If you are in Vic then it would be illegal for him to do so without being a registered roof plumber. Other states may be the same. Having said that it’s not rocket surgery.

    No need to remove the paint – this will all be taken care of when the timber is sanded.

    It might be my place but it is also an IP and I have legal obligations to the tenants. The tenant has been there for 5 years and just signed for another 12 months. I am trying to find out what is required by law as I couldn't find anything relevant in the residential Tenancies Act.

    The rules for owner builders vary from state to state. What I was getting at is if you are building in Victoria and this is not going to be your PPOR then you won't be able to do it. I don't know what course you are thinking of doing but they normally don't teach you anything about building, just the administrative side of things. You really need to have some building knowledge if you want to go down this track or tradies will walk all over you and it will cost you a lot more than you think.

    $85/hr is too steep. I'd be looking for another sparky.

    Fans of "the Block" will have seen Frank Valentic from Advantage purchase one of the properties. Chance or shrewd marketing? He is also the head honcho of the buyers advocate division of the REIV.
