Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Home Group WA Build - Footprints.. 1123Mar 09, 2016 1:33 pm It's been 3 weeks since our aggregate was laid. The 'fix' attempt was a joke and now we're STILL waiting to hear back. Everything else is done, we're just waiting for this to be resolved. Getting frustrated Re: Home Group WA Build - Waiting, waiting.. still no PCI da 1124Mar 09, 2016 3:42 pm That sucks Kellie! Wonder what they will come back with? As you said there really isnt anything to do but start again. Re: Home Group WA Build - Waiting, waiting.. still no PCI da 1125Mar 09, 2016 4:00 pm That is appalling! So sorry to hear. They need to re-do it. I can't believe 3 weeks have passed and they still haven't reached that conclusion! Blog: https://houseamour.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/houseamour/ Our build thread with Ben Trager Homes: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77796 Home Group WA Build - Waiting, waiting.. still no PCI date 1126Mar 09, 2016 5:02 pm So the options they gave us were;
- Leave it as it is - Replace one section (never mind there are at least 4 sections affected and that the colours won't match) Needless to say we are so unimpressed and now waiting to get a meeting with our SS because neither of those options are anywhere near acceptable. Such a shame to have this happen right at the end and dampen our experience.

Do you think if you got an inspector to come in and report it as non compliant to the standards- that it will make them remove the whole driveway? Mon Re: Home Group WA Build - Waiting, waiting.. still no PCI da 1128Mar 09, 2016 5:51 pm The fact that it took them so long to give us those options is just insulting. Our SS has been very good so far so we'll see what he has to say and go from there I guess. So disappointing. Re: Home Group WA Build - Waiting, waiting.. still no PCI da 1129Mar 09, 2016 7:34 pm Very disappointing, feel so sorry for you that this has happened, it becomes so stressful. Atleast they have acknowledged by giving you those options that there is a problem, sometimes that is half the battle, the next is getting the correct resolution. Re: Home Group WA Build - Waiting, waiting.. still no PCI da 1131Mar 09, 2016 11:30 pm Wow! That is so bad.. surely they will replace it with no arguments? How much more to go until PCI? Re: Home Group WA Build - Waiting, waiting.. still no PCI da 1132Mar 10, 2016 12:24 am Tell them you will get the building ombudsman involved if they don't fix it properly or you'll take the cost of the driveway out of your final payment !! Re: Home Group WA Build - Waiting, waiting.. still no PCI da 1133Mar 10, 2016 9:08 am Icanthackit Wow! That is so bad.. surely they will replace it with no arguments? How much more to go until PCI? Nothing else to do - literally just waiting on this driveway issue to be solved. We were meant to have PCI on March 2, but it got bumped because of this issue. Re: Home Group WA Build - Waiting, waiting.. still no PCI da 1134Mar 10, 2016 9:30 am Oh kel I'm sorry to hear they aren't coming to the party with fixing the issue I hope you get the answer you want at the meeting it's unacceptable to leave like that I would be saying why would they want thAt work as a reflection of there company Re: Home Group WA Build - Waiting, waiting.. still no PCI da 1135Mar 10, 2016 12:36 pm I honestly cant believe those are the option they have given you.. words fail me. Hopefully you can come to a better arrangement with the SS Re: Home Group WA Build - Waiting, waiting.. still no PCI da 1136Mar 10, 2016 3:58 pm Wow thats a lot of footprints and ridiculous options . I wonder if that is to Australian building standards or within tolerances!!!!! sorry I could not resist. Joking aside I really hope you get sorted. Tell them you will keep it if they give you $40k as this is what it will knock off the value of your house Re: Home Group WA Build - Waiting, waiting.. still no PCI da 1137Mar 10, 2016 5:41 pm When is your meeting Kel? Oops nevermind I just read Friday lol. Good luck, not that you should need it they should just bloody fix it by replacing it all! Re: Home Group WA Build - Waiting, waiting.. still no PCI da 1139Mar 10, 2016 9:51 pm In your contract it says you can dispute there workmanship with the ombudsman just like hgwa that you are doing it Re: Home Group WA Build - Waiting, waiting.. still no PCI da 1140Mar 10, 2016 11:03 pm Good luck Kellie for tomorrow. I really hope it gets sorted quickly for you xx My Home Group build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77067 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… 7 19936 For reference, this is the Austlii reference. My take on this is, that they would be breaking the law denying access to a homeowner in Victoria, or their agent from having… 1 10250 2 6641 |
