sumsub's Building thread

yeah, it would! I am being picky, but I am going to talk to the builder tomorrow about it.

Took a look at your monster thread(s)!! well done on the build and love the way you're putting all of the furnishing together

thanks It was a bit daunting at times as I had to make all those decisions myself, but I'm hoping that it will look great once everything is done. Can't wait to get to the furnishing and the new appliances stage ! yippee!

Just received an email from the builder's office. They say that the splashback may not be installed before christmas but they are going to find out if the Occupancy certificate can be issued without that as everything else is spot on (thier words, not mine).

Is this common practice? i.e. all installation is not complete but you get the OC and then it is installed some time after you move in?

Sooo have heard back from the builder - we won't get the occupancy cert before christmas, and in all lilkelyhood that will now happen in the 2nd week of January after everyone at the local council has had a holiday. At this stage, I'm likely to move in by the end of January. Which suits me fine as I wasn't all that keen to move in during\after Christmas!!

Glad it suits you, you are more patient than me!! Merry xmas.

Took a look at the house again today. Carpets have been put in, all electrical work done including outdoor sensor lights. Yay! Just have to wait for the new year now to move in

Carpet in the front lounge room


Couldn't resist photographing the manhole, so that I could see the roof foil\sisalation!


It's only the people on the forum who will my understand the excitement at seeing.......cooling and heating controls!!!


And the white infills have been repainted to match the gutter color, which makes me much happier


Spot the 150 watt garage sensor light!

You are very quick at posting sumsub! Thanks for letting us see your house today. it will turn out as a gorgeous home when you guys finally move in.

Will look forward to seeing your progress!

ha ha yeah, got home and started uploading photos! You should start a thread too!

Got my quotes for 2 timber gates at the side of the house (1000 AUD) and custom shelving in laminate in the WIR in the master bed (900). I am happy with both, they seem reasonable. Fingers crossed, they will get that in by the middle of January!

drove past the house today...well actually drove to see the house and they have put the red splashback in, yay!





And the antenna has been put in as well, so I dont have to stay without The Mentalist, and the Big Bang theory!

Occupancy Certificate obtained over the weekend. Got home insurance policy certificate organised and faxed to me today. Just sent off all required documents to the bank! woohoo very close now!
Builder gave me a good tip regarding final payment - they suggested that I ask the bank to issue a Bank cheque payable to the builder and post it to me, instead of bank paying the builder directly. That way the bank can start thier processing, valuation etc, while I do my final inspection in parallel, and I hand over the cheque once I am satisfied, so we dont lose too much time waiting for things to happen sequentially.

Hi Sumsub, it was great read your thread. Can you please share your experience with the Persaud homes. During construction and after construction. How is their build quality and after service? I am considering them for my house as well. Thanks in advance . Khan

Hi,

Rjbhai02,
I’m not sure if you realise this build was in 2010, I doubt sumsub would still be on homeone, most people finish their build then move on....
