They still have a couple of small things left to finish off inside, even though I was promised it was all going to be finished last week. The painters have to come back and paint my theatre room doors and fix a couple of spots on the ceiling. They also have to put in my pendant lights over the kitc...

Hey dani have they done your driveway yet? They said they were doing ours this Thursday I rang Trevor yesterday and they said it was still too wet to do this week. He reckons it will be dug out sometime this week but not poured till maybe Monday. I've got PCI on Wednesday. Have they given you a dat...

Think it comes down to how many issues you find (hopefully none) that will determine how long between PCI to handover is Thanks everyone. I've already found a couple of minor things they will have to fix. My site supervisor said he's hoping to do the PCI not this week but the following week, the ra...

Hi everyone- quick questions- what's people's experiences with their SS's been like? How often do your SS's call you? Do you they keep you regularly updated about what's happened and give you time frames on when things are expected to be done/ when they are scheduled in to be done? Thanks! Our SS h...

Our SS hasn't called us once, we have to call him if we want to know what's going on! Crazy hey!

Oh really? Just all things to look forward to I guess. Who are you building with again? I thought there would have been less delays once rain couldn't hold them up. I'm glad it's not just me who's on my site supervisor lol. I reckon if I didn't put any pressure on my SS nothing would get done. Ther...

Any update on your roof? I really hope they can sort it out for you soon

Yep also agree with MadamImAdam, they hit rock on ours, had to sign a variation for $10.5K for the removal / breaking it down and removing it. We ended up getting around $8K or $8.5K back though as it was found to be easily broken down (like how it is in most of the estate!). They wanted us to sign...
