We have a mate with his own earth works company, he said $1.5k and can start Monday. How they got $6.5k beats me Also today marks the start of week 10 GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 9 Frames still not up... 2409Mar 24, 2017 2:40 pm This bill f'in **** ???

I wouldn't pay a cent, get a lawyer!! Make them pay for it and hurry themselves up. Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 9 Frames still not up... 2411Mar 24, 2017 8:23 pm Oh CB I'm so sorry you are having to endure this I really hope karma shows her face with GJ as soon as they hand you yr keys Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 9 Frames still not up... 2412Mar 25, 2017 7:58 pm Charli did you sign a fixed price contract? If so, this is a site cost due to site conditions and you absolutely shouldn't pay. I know how you feel and I know in your mind you feel like if you pay or source it yourself and pay, that your build will progress, but they are just as invested in progressing your build- to get paid. I think you have a very good case to put it to them that this is simply a site cost and if they didn't allow for it, tough t!tties! C U S T O M. C O R A L.

Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 9 Frames still not up... 2414Mar 26, 2017 6:03 pm We are having our driveway done on Tuesday, so I've demanded trades to be on site on Wednesday even if it's raining they can put on a damn rain coat and work in the rain! Also stopped at a GJ display at Casuarina today oh my word it was the ugliest display I have ever seen!!! And it stunk, I can't even describe the smell, maybe like unclean toilets ? The walls were a horrible green and the way it was furnished just made weird almost like it was underdone. If I walked through that display when I was ready to sign with a builder I definitely would have signed up with them!! Also when we were leaving and I told the sales lady we were building with GJ Grafton she was like oh yeah nice they are really great people, didn't I give her a piece of my mind, hubby had to drag me out - took everything within me to not kicking the sign on my way out.
