Alas, Dreamstart are ahead again.... they locked up today!! So no picnic in the house, but the next stage completed Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Modified Dream Verona - Dreamstart 10m Frontage Block - Dreamstart Build - Calleya Estate viewtopic.php?f=31&t=85632 Re: 10m Frontage Block - Dreamstart Build - Calleya Estate 63Feb 15, 2017 1:09 pm Haha awesome news about lock-up!

I've noticed these cracks in the corners. We've only had plaster for one week? Is this normal?!

It's a double edge sword the whole not locking up issue. On one hand you can still get inside but on the other the last thing you want is the build being held up because of thieves or vandals!

I agree with silentbob! I do hope you don't get any vandalism on your house. Looking good btw - wish i could have had a proper laundry cupboard - really miss the storage & benchtop it would have provided *sigh*. That's a job for later.

Yeah I'm not really happy with it - once or twice, I understand mistakes happen - but when it's been over a week and I've notified them? That's not good enough. The laundry cabinet was pretty much over 1/3 of our pre-start cost - and they couldn't even put soft close doors! The entire house is soft close everything, and the one item we paid a fair bit for doesn't have it? There are a few little things of that nature that just don't make sense. I'm in the process of drafting a rather lengthy email... Our render paint is atrocious, there is chipped render EVERYWHERE, holes in some of the ceiling panels in the garage, the cracks in the plaster, cracked bricks, and what looks like some mould-type substance in our WIP... I won't bore you with the rest. Some of the shine is definitely starting to wear off I know it's all part of the process... just hard not to get deflated. 4 3586 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 8 2234 |
