This post is more for my own record keeping - so in the future I can take a stroll down memory lane and remember what happened.

Yesterday we met the private certifier and signed to confirm that we wanted to use his services. He gave us a list of items that need to be taken care of before he can proceed.

One was that the BASIX certificate was done with the wrong DP number on it. The draft/engineering people that prepared it went to great lengths to make sure we knew it was the council that told them the wrong number, but that's all sorted now.

We also had to give him another copy of the engineering plans. I had another lot in reserve, so that's sorted too.

Additional items to be taken care of: Council sewer main location plan, “Cost Summary Report” form, drainage permit issued by Council & a diagram showing how we propose to provide the minimum 160 m² of roof area to feed the rainwater tank as required by the BASIX certificate. All of these will need to be taken care of by the builder.
