Yes that's it like charli said even into the ground so no stepping over :) On another note today is handover!!! Hope all goes well at 3pm and we can be in and settled tonight [emoji322]

If you are on a standard contract it will have agreed procedure for PCI inspection and recording of defects. Follow the contract and make sure builder blinks first.Buy your own stickers and do your own list and then email it to the builder. Thankyou we are packed for moving so no idea where the con...

Hi all, I have a build thread but thought I'd post a new question so it gets better reach and hopefully some good answers. My issue is we had our PCI inspection yesterday with our site supervisor who basically said no and argued to everything we raised. We were not given stickers or the chance to go...

Awesome glad they are onto it for you we had to chase everyone then were told it was all sent to the broker they fired.... We get keys next Friday!!

Sounds good are you expecting a shock for the final price or contracted amount? Yay for handover tomorrow!! Are you planning to move stuff in this weekend?

Woo hoo it's all happening!! Make sure your bank books in the valuer ahead of time and they get the completion certificates asap as they will delay the final payment being made, we are just scraping by as we were never told of this and are just getting it all in on time (within the two week timefram...

PCI done! Went okay no major issues we can tell anyway some scuffs on bench, some paint patches to be fixed, tear in fly screen, and chip in vinyl wardrobe door. There was one issue we aren't sure if they will change as SS was adamant they wouldn't - on some of the skirting around the bathroom door ...

Oh how frustrating yes ours was super quick it was out before I even knew it was in, the builder submitted all our paperwork so can't say what went and didn't go in though. Fingers crossed it's out any day now!

At the end of our build but our plans went through last year around September/ October via the builder and ours went through council in 2-3weeks was so happy :)

Oh how frustrating, hope it works out so that you aren't out of pocket too much then for these issues. Good work on the moving, we have planned to have the truck arrive at handover ready to unload lol

Woo girls nights! Will you organise move after hubby is back? That's terrible about the car, just keep on Nissan and they should replace no problems clearly there is an issue if it's under two years old. My sister just recently had Holden replace her Cruze from about 4-5 years ago with a brand new C...

Woohoooooo!! Awesome news now to madly prep and get ready :) Will you have items to do after handover or is most included in your contract?

Wow yay for PCI that is super quick!!

Aww that's terrible hope they pull their fingers out the next couple days and tidy it all up for you! Not sure about the termite barrier and cladding but ours sticks out under the bricks but is not bright green it's a black colour and kind of blends in our ss said we need to leave it and incorporate...

What we did before signing or paying for quote, we got everything on the quote and kept changing it till it was perfect. Then signed it and played the 3k deposit. When you did get your tender back though, was there a big difference in price in comparison to the final free quote you got? Nope they w...

Yeah 17th march is handover so a little less than a month now :) Packing has begun but I've been feeling pretty crappy so my partners been doing the majority so unpacking might be a little different as I won't know where anything was packed but at least it's getting done! Painting all done, I think ...

Add in council approval times and just general contracts finalisation it all adds up. Can't recall our final finance date but we started the house process in May by paying deposit to builder and construction began October. Council approval was super quick though 1-2weeks max. Just delays with broker...

Wooo making good progress can't wait to see photos :) Stairs? Are you double storey?

We used the FHOG before build commenced, we are with westpac too in Qld. Broker applied and it added to our deposit for loans, paid straight to bank. I believe you just need a build contract in place.
