It is a challenge to avoid reflection, isn't it...we come up with great ideas we never dare to try... lol Re: Plantation Homes/ Molto Riviera/ Ormeau Ridge Qld 96Feb 24, 2017 2:12 pm Well what a week! completely confused and not sure if I am happy,mad or what!! Got an email on Wednesday afternoon giving me a handover date of 13th March. In it's own right fantastic but at that stage I didn't have a site supervisor nor had I had a PCI, have no plumbing, no electrical, no air con, no HWS, painting not finished, tiling not finished, no carpets, no driveway, just to name a few. Rang up head office to suggest they had made a mistake and told no mistake. When questioned how much was to be done and hadn't had PCI was told we (being Plantation) review it and we won't miss anything, so no PCI is occurring. Explained the things that had been missed so far and all picked up by me, had no response to that. Found out I had a new SS and arranged to meet him on site Thursday morning to find out what is going on. When we got to site on Thursday the gate was open and the house being built next door had their power cords plugged into my box to power their tools. We stayed on footpath and never stepped inside. However from the moment he arrived he was so aggressive accusing us of disrespecting the company by opening the gates (tried to point out to him the power cord going next door!), having never met the guy it was quite scary and he basically yelled at us (thank god I took Dad with me!) for an hour (though think that might be his normal talking voice!), we could barely get a word in at all, it was unbelievable. Tried to ask why even though I have a handover date I still didn't have a date for when I can give them the down lights to be installed. Also tried to ask what was happening with the expansion joint only to be told that it was not one but about 6 they are doing, 3 in the main living area and 3 in the passages. Main living area will go in both directions. When we tried to talk about where they might go to minimise the visual impact was told he and only he decides that. Also tried to ask how I will be able to get a bank valuation to get the final money with so much undone and just got stories of how many valuers he had thrown out of houses and how much fun it was. He also suggested I don't move in after handover and they could then finish everything they needed and come and go as they needed so they would keep their locks on the doors to give them access.By this stage I was in tears and told him I give up! Question for people though, if handover has happened but they have full access to house if things get damaged or go missing it is my problem not the builder? The sum up was I have to have money ready for 13th to get the keys and can not go on site prior to that date. So yeah for handover, I think? so so confused...... Re: Plantation Homes/ Molto Riviera/ Ormeau Ridge Qld 97Feb 24, 2017 3:18 pm None of that sounds right or OK at all - I'd be demanding someone higher. handover should not happen if they have not finished the job. How disgraceful that he spoke to you in that manner! I'd be calling Head office.

We are trying to sneak on site whenever we can to do mini PCI's so we can raise the issues we are finding. The electrician picked up a huge one yesterday. As everyone comes and goes through garage door no one was really using the front door. When he went to do switches he noticed the front door and glass insert are in the wrong way. The way it is currently when the door is open it blocks access to a bedroom, the light switches are behind the door and you also couldn't put a door stop for door as it ends in the room's doorway, what a mess! They wanted us to leave it that way even though we didn't change the direction and all of there drawings have it going the other way, we considered it but thought we have had to accept so many other missteps that we wanted this one fixed so not sure what is going to happen there. He also picked up that the beading around the door frames has only been done in a couple of rooms and missed in most of the others including the bathrooms meaning you could see into the wall cavities in those rooms.Not sure what there intent is re fixing that. On a high note - electrical finished yesterday, air con went in today, Roller Doors are tomorrow and carpet on Friday so really looking like a complete house now. Driveway and outside painting etc is mid to late next week. So still not sure if handover will be on 13th or not....

Glad things are still coming along - I hope they can pull it all together for you by the 13rh Our Trinity Lux Q1 with Plantation Homes: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=85254&view=undread#unread Insta: @newhomedream Hi all.
