Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Coral Hamilton 278, trouble is coming 101Mar 22, 2009 10:08 pm Well, just to re-enforce how the build has gone so far, the electrician didn't really do anything, he put conduit on the ground with some cable in it, didn't connect the pump or anything. Then the plumber didn't show up at all, I was also meant to meet the SS Friday morning, he didn't show either. I rang several time, sent text messages to call me - nothing, so I called the construction manager at 4:50pm, told him our situation, that we have given notice on the rental place (Before I gave notice, I checked with the SS and he told me that there would be no worries about having handover before the 26th) I told him that we are no very nervous, that there was at least a few days work left on the house, the certifier needs to do their thing, and after that the bank needs to come out and do their inspection before they will give me the bank check. All this needs to be done in 5 working days now so we can move on the weekend, otherwise I'm not to sure what we are going to do? Re: Coral Hamilton 278, Have givin notice on rental 103Mar 23, 2009 10:18 pm Things went much better today. I met the site supervisor onsite early today, while he was there he rang the electrician, plasterer, brickies, plumber and bobcat operator. The electrician turn up about an hour later, the plasterer at lunch and the brickie in the afternoon. The bobcat operator should be there tomorrow, as well as the kitchen people, and the plumber and certifier have been booked for Wednesday. The SS has a course to attend on Friday, so handover should be happening on Thursday afternoon with any luck. Re: Coral Hamilton 278, Have givin notice on rental 105Mar 26, 2009 11:15 pm No luck, my house failed the plumbing inspection and it needs to be re-booked, basically no chance at getting handover so I can move this weekend! So, now I will not have a place to live come Wednesday. This has been the most stress filled week that I have had in a long time. I asked the SS when it would be OK to give notice on my rental place a few weeks ago, he said that it would all be well and truly finished by this week. He actually said that he was aiming for handover to be late last week. Tomorrow I will have to beg the Real estate and see if anyone has taken a lease on this place, if someone has I don't know what else I can do, but move into the new place without an official handover. Does anyone know what the consequence of this would be? Because I was told handover would be this week, I have the carpets going in tomorrow, Foxtel on Monday, Tv antenna on Tuesday and the driveway next weekend, so I will have to re book all off these things.

Wasn't to much of an issue, his biggest haslle was the tradies coming & going all the time with the construction key. Mind you, the SS was the one to tell him just to move in. The Construction manager came in and was straight on the phone to the SS asking why the owner was in. The SS took the bullet & said that there wasn;t much he could do, owner had to be out of his rental on the day the SS had told him he could have Handover. Did you get your tiling done? Re: Coral Hamilton 278, Have givin notice on rental 108Apr 01, 2009 10:48 pm Well we moved in over the weekend, I am still tiling but have slowed down a lot, other things are now priority, like grass and shelter for the dog. Handover should be on Friday with any luck, I have the bank cheque in my hands, just waiting on a few more things to be fixed while I still hold the money. Re: Coral Hamilton 278, Have givin notice on rental 111Apr 02, 2009 5:35 pm Handover will be at 9:30 tomorrow, day 193, yey Re: Coral Hamilton 278, Have givin notice on rental 112Apr 02, 2009 8:05 pm Wow!!
