The hydraulics plan came back today. The engineer did a great job and suggested a relocation of the water tank to minimise the visible pipes on the external walls.
To help speed things along, the engineer proactively provided plans for both viable locations for the water tank.
We approved the hydraulics plan by email and the builder submitted the plans to council today (12/2/2013).
Great work, thanks hydraulics engineer and builder!
The site will have four 450*450mm stormwater pits, two 300*300mm surcharge pits, a gattic trench grate at the bottom of the driveway, and an 8*1*1m absorption trench.
PS. Below is an indication of what happened to my fitness regime, and diet during the early negotiations with the various builders. Yes, I’m blaming the bulk of that upwards spike on new home builder #1.
