Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our first build with Fairmont Homes - Blakes Crossing So 121Mar 04, 2016 9:38 pm Hey Heatherkam, I can sympathize with you. We've had this issue too with the guy that delivered pavers to our next door neighbour. He drove over our slab that had only been down for 1 week, left tyre marks like yours, gouged divots in it, built up the soil surrounding the slab and never cleaned up after himself. The disrespect people have is insane. Even our roofers who were putting up our tiles this week left banana peels and tuna tins everywhere. It's makes you mad because to them you're a number, but to you, it's your hard earned money, your dreams, and someone has just come along and squashed all the excitement out of your beautiful new soon to be home. I feel your pain. X Re: Our first build with Fairmont Homes - Blakes Crossing So 122Mar 04, 2016 10:00 pm CustomStirling Hey Heatherkam, I can sympathize with you.

It's their problem I guess if we aren't Happy they will be fixing a whole lot at the end. I'm sorry it happened to you too, no respect just ferals with no manners Re: Our first build with Fairmont Homes - Blakes Crossing So 123Mar 04, 2016 10:47 pm Banana peels and tuna cans don't bother me ... Doing the job properly so the house stands is what concerns me. I'd gladly feed them bananas if I knew they'd do their job properly However, the soil carting debacle is unacceptable. They should be doing that. Simonds did. One of the things they did get right for us haha. Re: Our first build with Fairmont Homes - Blakes Crossing So 124Mar 04, 2016 10:49 pm Oh and congratulations on the slab. Sorry about the skids. We had some A-hat (bogan) do burn outs on ours. Sheesh! Re: Our first build with Fairmont Homes - Blakes Crossing So 125Mar 05, 2016 6:51 am TomCat Banana peels and tuna cans don't bother me ...
