hi brenda

headworks in central vic are around 12k

check if easements are required across neighbors properties and talk to them before you get too involved with permit fees

There is no exscuse for not cleaning up after a job is completed – basic house keeping is good PR and good Health & Safety practice. The plasterer probably put the bag in the other room so it was not under foot and forgot it.

As for the electrician or any other tradey, a cheap hourly rate will be made up on materials – the good old swings & roundabouts theory.

Your best bet is to get a written quote for the whole job.

Ladies & Gents

A bit of an update

Have spoken with the owner next door & got a No Go on the easement.

Very frustrated as we are talking about 4 meters

So now l get to tackle the railways – not looking forward to this due to delays & costs.

The moral is: Talk to your neighbors about your plans before you part out any money to councils or civil engineers

Thanks Martin

I will wander in and have a talk to DCK myself.

You don’t have an accountant/solicitor to reccomend?

Your understanding is correct, there is no loss to him as I would pick up any costs. Only vegetation is grass & blackberries. We are on nodding terms as far as neighbors go – no feuds or BBQs. His was the only enquiry during the advertising process and he commented to the civil engineer then that the last thing he needed was another easement!
I am trying to cover all my bases before I broach the topic.
Aiming for the Win/Win outcome, hence the thought of offering a fee but then he may have thought I hve been rude by not discussing it with him before now?
