We have had: Plastering finished Electrician cut out Carpenters have installed all doors, including our front door and we are now officially locked out! Just between you and me we still got in though Arcs and skirts also installed this week Wet seal to all wet areas All cabinetry installed - ensuite, bathroom and kitchen! Screeding completed and wet area tiles delivered in preparation for tiling this coming week AND our bricks have finally been cleaned! Tiling wet areas is scheduled to be full steam ahead for this week, then all we are waiting on before painting can begin is for the cornices to be installed. The only other obvious jobs are installation of the roof insulation and wardrobe and pantry shelving. Then we are onto floor tiling and final fixing. We don't have any driveways or garden etc. included in the contract so that takes us to PCI and handover. As always, plenty of pics to share Kitchen including laundry tub and tile delivery!

Benchtop has gone on The entire house has been painted Shower screens have gone in (mostly) Electrical has started - downlights in and epic 2x quad powerpoints for our big fish tank and cupboards have been fitted out. WIR I'm not sure what they were thinking when they ordered the cupboard fitouts. We have no shelves, only hanging space in every cupboard except pantry #1 and the linen closet. We can deal with that - i'm happy to spend a bit more when we move in and put in the "elfa" flexible shelving systems as it will be much better in the long run. The most odd thing is they have started fitting out pantry #2 as though it is going to be a hanging space wardrobe. The two pantrys are side by side like this: They have fitted out the left one like this: and the right one like this: So we will have to have a chat to them about getting shelves in the second pantry. Sekisui have also agreed to cover the costs of extending our sewerage connection across the frontage of our block. I mentioned a few pages back that after the drainage had been dug and our driveway approved and put in place we discovered a problem with the sewer pod design - in short it had been put on the opposite side of the block to the sewerage connection. As we were responsible for all "service extensions" outside of the contract we were concerned that we might be expected to pay for the connection from one side of the block to the other, but Sekisui have fairly accepted that it was their design mistake that caused the additional costs and that they will wear them. Needless to say we are very happy and feel like this is a fair outcome. I really can't fault the way Sekisui has dealt with us since the build started. Final fit offs for everything are scheduled for this week, tiling and carpet for the following week.

Re: Our Sekisui House Meridian -paint, benchtop, fit off sta 80Mar 31, 2013 7:03 pm Thanks guys Ted the kitchen cabinets are laminex "Moleskin" and behind the island is "Stipple Cocoa". The bench top is ceasarstone "creme brulee" which we were told is quite new. The wall colour is "New Soft Blush" by Wattyl We are discussing plans with Meridian homes and it is shaping up nicely. Anyone has any experience to share? Have gone through forums but no recent feedback or experience found. 0 4933 of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them.
