Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building an EB Memphis 31 - Handover Delayed (5th time?) 121Jun 30, 2010 11:08 am We asked for, and got, our contract end date. Had to make a few unreturned calls and send a few emails to our CSo before we got it. I stated to them that their website says that we get a guaranteed completion date, and we got it, October 11th, then, when the site was scraped 4 days earlier than they said it would be, we asked them it that meant that our contract end date was now October 7th, they replied that it was. And yes, we got all of it in writing. Have not had the builder claim any rain days so far, no days claimed for any delays yet (we 14 weeks in to a 28 week contract), if they try to make claims later for rain etc up till now, I will point out the contract where it says they need to notify us in writing within 10 days of being aware of the delay, we got noting in writing so far, so no rain delays. Re: Building an EB Memphis 31 - Handover Delayed (5th time?) 122Jun 30, 2010 11:31 am On the rain days, EB haven't claimed any delays from me. Prior to lock up, I believe it only rained just after the slab was poured, so I don't think they could argue for any. It did delay some of the rectification works however. Re: Building an EB Memphis 31 - Handover Delayed (5th time?) 123Jul 01, 2010 7:35 am Hey Mick, can't belive you still arent finished, I'd be close to "paying them a vist" by now Let me know if you want any flyscreens or anything done, would be good to catch up with you and Lousie again,haven't seen you in a while. Mark Re: Building an EB Memphis 31 - Handover Delayed (5th time?) 124Jul 01, 2010 8:00 am Hey Mark. Aren't you skiing? Some flyscreens would be good. The only thing I've organised so far is the flooring (they are also wondering how many more delays there could be). Lol I know what you mean. Too much stuff going on so I've been distracted. I've got an assignment to start and finish this weekend but after that is done I definitely want the keys. Re: Building an EB Memphis 31 - Handover Delayed (5th time?) 125Jul 01, 2010 8:38 am Nah I'm not loaded like your brother-in-law! Went down to Perisher on the weekend, wasnt the best but better than being at work! I know what you mean, you get over the constant delays and setacks. Send me a PM here or get my number off Paul and I will come round and measure them up when you have your keys. Re: Building an EB Memphis 31 - Handover Delayed (5th time?) 126Jul 01, 2010 5:28 pm Haha I think the key is having zero responsibilities! NZ looks awesome right now though, even for a bad skier like me. Well we might have the keys tomorrow, so I'll send you a PM soon. To hard to do it off the iPhone.

Everything is done besides the bathroom accesories. I asked for a refund, but they will deliver them next week for us to install. I've left work, so pending any unforseen issues I should have the keys tonight. Re: Building an EB Memphis 31 - Handover Delayed (5th time?) 129Jul 02, 2010 1:24 pm Hooray, Finally.

It is just me attending the handover too. My wife has deemed Twilight more important! Re: Building an EB Memphis 31 - Handover Delayed (5th time?) 131Jul 02, 2010 1:55 pm Good luck getting the keys !!!! Hope everything works out !!!!

Having said that, it is true I'm at EB so this saga can finally come to an end. They hadn't fully fixed the bathroom accesories, but that was the only thing. They are going to supply them only now, easier for myself to do it. Re: Building an EB Memphis 31 - Handover Delayed (5th time?) 135Jul 02, 2010 8:16 pm joannapaulp Have not had the builder claim any rain days so far, no days claimed for any delays yet (we 14 weeks in to a 28 week contract), if they try to make claims later for rain etc up till now, I will point out the contract where it says they need to notify us in writing within 10 days of being aware of the delay, we got noting in writing so far, so no rain delays. We're almost done, had our first PCI yesterday, but never in the whole time have we heard from the builder in regards to what is and isn't a "rain day" and if we were to be notified of it. Is it standard for a builder to tell you how many days they've classed as non-working and what your exact contract date should be ?
