I cannot believe it has been a month and a half. Anyone have any idea of the time in general PCI can take? Building a modified Simonds Palisade in Brentwood Forest.

Checked on productreview as well, no luck. You guys have mentioned Bella in the thread, has any of you end up building with them how was it? have you heard anything from ppl built with Bella Qld Properties? Re: Simonds Modified Palisade - Brentwood Forest - Frame is 207Dec 01, 2015 10:31 pm No we looked at them but didn't like their inclusions. There is a bella or two in our estate though, where are you building? Building a modified Simonds Palisade in Brentwood Forest.

That's why I'm curious as to how long this last PCI stage usually takes. Our mysimonds app says handover 30/12 but I know that can't happen. I'm thinking 1st week of Jan?

Everything will still be shut by then so you're probably looking at the end of January. We're looking at PCI being done before everything shuts down (by the skin of our teeth) but then we're likely going to have to wait for an occupancy certificate & bank valuation and stuff - so probably another 2+ weeks after PCI is done but then with Christmas we don't think we'll be in before the last half of January. There's a metricon build that went up the same time last year not far from where we're building (started 30th of September or something) and we've been step for step with their build (as per the dates in their thread) and they got in Jan. 24th this year so I've kind of got that timeline in my head how (even though I think we've somehow managed to get a week or two ahead of them).

Looks like they've scraped ready to lay our driveway soon too! Our range hood was sitting in the garage so that must mean electrical will be soon. We're still waiting on down lights, shower screens, internal door handles and shelving from what I can see. Can anyone think of anything else that should be happening? I think this is the last week of work before Christmas break so hopefully they get a fair bit done. Building a modified Simonds Palisade in Brentwood Forest.

They'll do another clean too after everything is done.

I actually just drove past and the driveway is being done. The colours look great I'm a bit sad it has to be rendered now (and I never thought I would say that) and I love the cladding, which I hated in the plans! Dave has been fantastic. I really couldn't recommend a better building inspector that Jims. Their reports are so thorough and he's so willing to talk through everything and explain it all in simple terms and talk to our inspector too. I think you'll be really happy with him.

Painting is being touched up next week. Things I noticed missing were robes, mirrors, shower screens, fly screens and the hot water system? Can't think of anything else - exterior painting is complete and tape ware is in! Gah we're so close!!! Building a modified Simonds Palisade in Brentwood Forest.
