Newlife08: Jealous! I am hoping the next big storm rips my pergola to shreds, won't take much - then I might be able to claim a replacement on insurance?

Don't like my chances though

Um I used to build patios and sheds as well as second story additions! What do you mean he needs to measure the roof? That should come with the basic building plans? Before you can start building? Didn’t you get a quote? I think he is telling fibs!
Before you can start building you need the plans passed by your local council, I used to draw them up pay the money and have to wait up to two weeks for them to be passed, you cant build something unless everything is in the plans? Including the screws you are using, I hope you haven’t paid in full?
doh

The plans were passed by the local shire I have a building permit and the first guy that did the quote which was his job did a rough measure up and summited to the shire so they could get the permit to take the job on. The actual guy who did the job is the one who errects the pergola so he did his own measurment yesterday. Guess he wanted to be spot on before ordering sheets also he has 5 pergola's he is doing at the same time being the reason why he is taking time to get back it's only a week not bothering me, I assume he may order the roof materials for quiet a few jobs at the same time dunno The shire are very strict now and it takes months to get building permit passed.

I haven't paid a cent & wont until job is completed. I am satisfied with the work I have no complaints just the waiting for months for permit , can blame shire for that.

It took four months for my house plans to pass, I had to make modifications to the house so it would be bigger than the normal standard plans, the builders blamed the council, so I rang the council and asked them what was the hold up? They said the builders had submitted the plans but they had not allowed for the roof timbers to be stronger due to the expansion of 400mm to the width to the overall house, the thing with councils is if its not right they wont pass it, until it is right! I would be measuring the roof sheets myself making sure you are getting the size you are paying for?
dunno
