Metricon Liberty 45, Ryde NSW viewtopic.php?t=82846 Build thread: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde, NSW Re: Metricon Laguna 40 Kingston Sydney Northern Beaches 1005Jan 08, 2017 11:18 am No official update, but looks like they have started to work on fixing the floor in the other room not 100% why but guess it was a contributing factor. We actually went away just before Xmas so I requested that prior to gyprock I want photos of everything that has been done to correct errors. I agree noggins can be done for free but I requested the main ones just to be 100% sure of the location. Now that I am back I will be emailing again requesting access to the site to ensure everything I have paid for is correct and SM said he would remove a void and also put in a extra noggin in one of the bed rooms. I agree noggins are a massive rip off I even disputed the price when I get the contract but no luck. I just don't understand why they keep working inside when they haven't finished the roofs yet.

Sounds so painful. Hopefully things will get moving again soon for you. What's left to be done outside? We still have lower roof pointing to be done - water is still coming inside and they are meant to be starting to line the internal walls this week! Good luck! Keep us posted.

[/quote] Hi Nev, Belated Happy New Year greetings. Hope they fix all the items and get it right for you. I just don't understand why our SM is so difficult when I hear about others saying things like they'll put the noggin in for free. Anyway, I hope 2017 is a better year and things improve with the SM and the quality of work for all of us.

Hope you got a decent response. Just an FYI - we managed to our noggins for free. Our SM said he'd put them in himself...seems you're getting a pretty rough ride.

No phone call so I send an email Monday morning and he had gone on leave for a week. So I email CSC requesting completion date, rain days being claimed and was advised no work would be done until SM got back. Low and behold Friday and Saturday gyprockers are putting up walls. So day SM returns I call him directly and he calls me back soon after, we are booked in for tomorrow morning 7am. They have had people onsite everyday this week smashing through it, finally putting on lower roof and gyprocking. Should be happy but I know there is errors still from previous things discussed if they are not acknowledged and fixed I will be going higher.

H1 thread | viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77665 Stick at it mate, a SM that doesn't understand that this isn't just another job but your home shouldn't be in the industry. Tradies can move job to job but as metricon employees the SM has to balance build progress with customer service. You've got the report calling out defects. Hope things not only progress but you also get to enjoy the journey.

I have requested evidence of the things I brought up previously and will be sending an email to both SM and CSC to keep on record. I will share more photos and details later on.
