Yep it is really too long. Takes weeks to get answers for anything that is not standard. Studio M questions have a time limit, so if you ask them after that it's gonna take forever. If you need the drawings changed, expect a big wait. Also our csc was away for a month, so the person that replaced her did absolutely nothing. Things started moving slowly again when she came back. Admin is the bottle neck in the process. I did not mind it to much though. I am determined to enjoy the whole building process. Re: KDR Vantage Mode facade modified 48Jun 15, 2019 7:28 am Looking good Macher. Yes the invoice will be there the day they finish, the accounts dept. is very efficient.

More efficient than any other dept at M....amazing isn’t it. First coat of render went on our cladding yesterday and we got lock up invoice by midday. Re: KDR Vantage Mode facade modified 50Jun 15, 2019 1:37 pm Looking good! It's so exciting to see it taking shape. Re: KDR Vantage Mode facade modified 51Jun 19, 2019 7:34 pm Another horrible day with the neighbours. Frame is just coming together and they have already trespassed on my property to get a good view of their backyard from my first floor. We have a big window in our void and if anyone has seen the vantage display, this is the highlight of the home. Neighbours are demanding I frost the stair well window and the void window which I spent much $$$$ upgrading. They are banding together and demanded drawings and suggesting that show some respect as I'm joining the neighbour hood. I don't want to make them hate me before I come to live there but I don't want to look up at a frosted window.

Re: KDR Vantage Mode facade modified 53Jun 19, 2019 9:21 pm Agree with the above post! I would say just ignore them. They will come around after a while. May be if they really causing trouble just agree to frost the staircase window with a film so that to show you did something. Later may be you can remove that too! Re: KDR Vantage Mode facade modified 55Jun 20, 2019 7:30 am M do not like rebating the doors but they will do it if asked multiple times. I got it done after a kind forum member provided the paragraph entry in here contract. Re: KDR Vantage Mode facade modified 56Jun 20, 2019 10:45 am Fu*k the neighbors! I swear it's the absolute worst part of building. Nothing but non-stop complains and requests when it's really non of their business. I've built 3 times now, and it's the same issues every time, very common when building in an old established area. Just jealously, it's a terrible look. And yes, the rebating of doors definitely possible with persistence. But looks like you're very close to getting doors and windows installed. Perhaps try talk directly with your SM and pay him cash to make it happen. They can still cut the slab to suit before the door frames go in.
