I called to check if this is what usually happens and I'm guessing it does to a certain extent until they have power connected. I called Simonds to ask who pays for the power and it's the owners responsibility. I told her what I saw and she said it does happen- she noted it on my file incase I get a huge bill. My concern it it's ok to use for a day or so but how do I know what power they are using as I'm not onsite!

Normal practice doesn't make it right...just because it is the same builder building the adjacent properties, doesn't mean they can steal... You are paying the bill, you have the rights to say what they shouldn't be doing... Re: Simonds express Westbury Beckett facade 71Oct 27, 2016 10:26 am It's not even the same builder !!! That's my concern.... Re: Simonds express Westbury Beckett facade 72Oct 27, 2016 10:27 am skinders78 It's not even the same builder !!! That's my concern.... Wow, that is ridiculous and so wrong... in my opinion, that is literally stealing... Re: Simonds express Westbury Beckett facade 73Oct 27, 2016 10:28 am I know I was a little shocked! Maybe I should call my site manager again and talk to him Re: Simonds express Westbury Beckett facade 74Oct 27, 2016 12:26 pm I gotta say, I don't find that practice acceptable either, you didn't give them permission so they shouldn't be using it! IMO Re: Simonds express Westbury Beckett facade 75Oct 27, 2016 12:49 pm Simonds are a great help ! Not ! They told me it's my job to find out the builder and contact them as they didn't give them permission!

Well, it is Simonds responsibility..the site is in their control with all the warning signs and another builder is trespassing and stealing... What if someone steal a door from the site, you are paying for it; does it mean you need to find out who and recover it? It is not the owner's responsibility to visit the site and make sure everything is in order.... Send them an email and let them know if you receive a bill shock you will request Simonds to justify the huge amount of electricity usage and will not pay the next stage invoice until you get a proper response... Also, check your contract for provisional $ allocation for electricity... Re: Simonds express Westbury Beckett facade 77Oct 27, 2016 2:40 pm Thanks @regvic ! Yes your exactly right..... they say very clearly at the start don't approach anyone on site contact site supervisor if there is a problem... I know the lady who is in land sales and she called the builder on my behalf and of course they denied it! I hope it was enough to make them stop using it! Dear Members I have to decide the Facade column size. My custom builder standard is 350mm with rendering, but i asked for 470mm plus stone or tiles and yet to get… 0 7496 traditional gable roof facade - Have you did the dark and light gray color combination in facade with gray stone in facade… 0 4210 Looking to tile the facade pillars rather than rendering. Builder is quoting 2500$ laying cost for upto 10msq. The 2 pillars come to be 16msq. So laying costs are 5000$… 0 7542 |
