They started the roof wed/thurs last week and haven't returned since. Turns out we are waiting on new supplies to replace unsatisfactory work done by inexperienced roofers. They are hoping to receive these early next week and get a new group of workers to complete the job. So glad they have picked up on this issue and resolving it now rather then later. It pays to let them know you are always watching. Meanwhile, the bricking is still set to commence next week. Looking forward to it all taking off. That doesn't sound good at all. What area was this in? Hopefully they haven't done to many other roofs before they got the boot South coast. I praise BH for not letting it slide. In fact we are led to believe it was actually the contracted company who picked up on it and have dismissed them workers and will bring in a more experienced crew to fix the issues. Apparently and hopefully it was their first and last job. Heres to a better job next time. 20/11/15 - Settled land 06/11/15 - Request 1st tender BH 21/04/16 - Colour Selections and Contracts Signed 31/05/16 - Commencement Letter 24/06.16 - Started work onsite - cut and benching begun Re: Who is building with Beechwood 13232Aug 27, 2016 8:16 am Tink85 poppet82 ask them how much travel allowance if crossing the bridge. they were most expensive here then several others we got quotes from.. added about 6kor so from memory. Oh Wow! the quote we have from McDonald Jones allows $1500 for this, Definitely something to ask, Thank you for the tip! Where are you building Poppet? We really like the Hayman 33 and are considering ditching our 3k deposit with MDJ to go and chat with Beechwood, Is there any particular reason they are dragging the chain, or just being generally slow, We are headed out to Camden this weekend as well to check out the displays there, Tinker nothing stopping you getting a tender and ideas from bw.. tell them your situation and that they have to move fast with getting back to you else you will just go with mdj. I agree with braddy every builder has pro and cons and there is always people with good experience and bad.. lots of people here have had amazing experiences with bw however alot seem more coastal then in Sydney.. we aren't even at council yet so I hope once the build starts we just go smoothly from there but the last 10months have been like pulling teeth.. we should be building by now, but still waiting for plans to go to council. It does feel a little ridiculous now. Possibly understaffed I imagine for all the works in Sydney?? Re: Who is building with Beechwood 13233Aug 27, 2016 11:00 am WOW! That's crazy Tom2016. U would think buying out that owner would be the easiest solution for the builder than knocking the whole house down. I did some more retail therapy yesterday to get over the disappointment. Brought more art work lol How's everyone's builds going with this wet weather??

We had paid a deposit with Coral. We were given a credit for the deposit amount. Who is building with Beechwood 13240Aug 29, 2016 7:00 am Sorry SK22 I just saw this! Yes, we have moved away from MDJH I feel glad that I did, Hubby and I went in to speak with the team at Kellyville And have asked for a tender for the Hayman 33 with the alternate 1 floor plan, we changed a few things, made his and hers wardrobes, made the ensuite smaller, turned a powder room into a storeroom and added more outdoor space, They did say the tender would take a few weeks, overall after speaking with them I feel more at ease We lost our deposit with MDJ but did mention that we lost it so see what happens go upvc window frames ensure insulation under colorbond. not just sarking, lighter color roof also not sure if you have seen this viewtopic.php?t=5823 last couple of pages… 4 111280 Even if it's not being sub-divided and you want to keep it as Torrens title, you will still need to talk to a town planner or Council themselves, to see if they will allow… 1 11364 |
