Coral Homes general build thread

Gosh just had to share even though I'm trying not to write negative things to try not bring any more negativity to the build Our robe hooks in ensuite were placed incorrectly about 2months ago.... today was the day they were being redone hubby was at place this morn getting a pendant hung and took pics to show me. There were stickers in ensuite for where new robe hooks were to go! Guess what ?? Yes in the wrong place again and by the time I saw pic and tried to contact SS and hubby raced back to to hopefully meet carpenter or at least put note on front door for when he arrived. The carpenter, who was actually due Monday though was prob only actually told to go today had been in that 30mins and put them in the wrong spot on the ensuite tiles..... honest mistake SS said in email (couldn't even ring us) Yep well perhaps we have plans for a reason and perhaps SS should actually read them and then perhaps this would not be the second time they are being replaced...... funny thing Coral Newie has an Ad for new SS needed, can only hope they will be moving on our disastrous one -sorry rant over.... (apologies for typos I'm having a wine )

Oh god that is annoying, annoying for the tiler too. Hopefully you don’t anymore dramas

Oh sorry to hear hopefully they are able to rectify their mistakes. Did they put metal screens on all your windows and doors in that allowance?

No we had the special glass required included but we added flyscreens etc ourselves

I’d say the $8k will be enough I think it cost us about $6k for the bal 12.5

PCI tomorrow cross everything please everyone 🤞🤞 it’s been a long time coming....

Fingers crossed brown dog just think if all goes well tomorrow it will be maximum 2 weeks.

Hopefully how's things with you guys? Hubby was talking to Peter before tomoz and he was telling him about another Coral figured it was prob you guys

Ha ha yeah it was probably about us. We still have no pci yet this week marks 65 weeks and we will be 6 months over contract on the 21st of this month. It’s just outrageous they still have no solution for the down pipe and we are not settling they need to follow our plans and if not a solution need to be agreed and I’m not looking at an s bend at the front of our home every day I walk through the front door simple. We still have not made our last progress payment yet obviously because we did have pci on the 28th of March but they took that back because they had to rip our walls restan our whole staircase that was stained the wrong colour for the sending time. I’m over it but not giving in to them we spent $450k and I’m going to get why

Get what we paid for sorry accidentally posted posted before I finished

.

I don't blame you I would be the same but it's awful what you have had to endure what you have and there should def be compensation from C. That's a lot of hard earned $. It's crazy that we pay more for houses down here and yet even if on time they still take 3 x longer to build than QLD

We had BAL 12.5 and it was about $6500 (In QLD)

Need help please.....Anyone banking with NAB and who went through certifier with Coral & doing your own driveway how did you get around supplying interim or final certificates for the final payment from NAB? Certifiers will only issue final cert (they won't issue interim with CDC apparently) after we have done the driveway which we will do after handover, however NAB won't release final payment until after they receive on of the certificates. feeling stressed ...

W T F
Surly they are just being fussy!!!!!!!🤮🤮🤮

Oh Nic it's a nightmare but thanks to hubby, CSO & bank I hope it's sorted. our SS asked me to reframe from further contact with him threw email - I wrote back it would be my pleasure to "refrain" from any further contact "through" email dumbass should've used spell check I had previously called him a disgrace to C, his trade and the building industry and said I'd be sending through pics where the new blue dots are which coincidently are the same places the old blue & green dots were but perhaps they had fallen off over the months

What a joke! I thought our ss was useless but Jesus. I’m so sorry. I hope it all ends soon i don’t get why the nab want occupancy certificates!!! Bloody stupid! Also, does he want you to communicate by phone so the *** promises aren’t in writing?
We have a coral build next door and their driveway is being ripped up and started again. The house slab wasn’t straight so the bricks don’t lay flush on the edge of the slab, so they decided to concrete a path from the front of the house, to the door and do their driveway... but it’s not thick enough to standards so they have to start again

Bahaha probably I think he hates me ccing every Coral email I have in our conversations though today I did snap..... Hopefully NAB will be happy with the certificate we asked for from the certifiers and then he had the cheek to email a copy of it to me telling me it wasn't the Final Oc cert... WT as if I'm stupid and he'd done us a favour and organised it himself , when my hubby organised it. I think that's when I really snapped as we'd still be none the wiser until it was too late if I hadn't called certifier today myself. Your poor neighbours they probablly have our SS. What an awful start for them .....

Yeah I’d assume it’s the same one. It’s their second one as the first one quit a few months ago. I don’t know his name tho. All I know if he tried to fight them on the tolerances of the concrete but neighbours hubby is an ex concretor so it didn’t go well
I have my fingers and toes crossed the nab hand over the cheque!!
