Message me if you prefer to talk out of main forum. Looking for some info. Hi Tom2016, Yes we did as we were concerned with something in our framework. We spoke to Beechwood and they said withholding payment would stop them working. I spoke to my SS and he said pay the payment because roof was next and he'll fix up the frame before plaster. We took his word and they made the adjustments. Our SS has been very reliable but minimal contact. If you need something fixed immediately, call them and let them know it needs to be fixed and say you won't pay until it's complete. You have about a week to 10 days after the payment is overdue before they stop work. Your payment doesn't confirm that you are happy with the work though so don't stress about that. Thanks Sheridan that's the info we were looking for thanks. Re: Who is building with Beechwood 14500Mar 01, 2017 8:25 pm Tom2016 Am slowly losing faith in the building process. Thankfully the concrete supervisor is sorting out the issues even though we have moved into Construction phase. Were do we start. One of the roof trusses have snapped and was attempted repair not good enough. Frames not bolted to the slab. Few other minor issues. Strip footing to hold the extended roof line didn't line up with the roof so it needs to be extended. Steel posts are not made long enough so they need to change something as they don't reach. Without Trevor I honestly don't know what would happen or where we would be with this build. I wish they would just assign him to the whole job. Not sounding good Tom. Hope Trevor can get it sorted ASAP. 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 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 110739 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 11114 |
