Re: Clarendon Brighton - Builder done, my turn to finish it off! 12Dec 17, 2008 12:02 pm eho This is what I got back from my builder when asked about extension of time due to adverse weather for the last few months... September 2008..........6 days October 2008..............12 days November 2008...........9 days Do they look right? Is there an official website that the building industry uses? You can check from http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/dwo. It lookes O.K. For the brick issues, they will knock it down and re-do. That is Boral fault not builder fault. We have the similar issue but with the roof title, Boral will came to fix tomorrow. Re: Clarendon Brighton - Builder done, my turn to finish it off! 14Dec 17, 2008 12:22 pm Thanks rldragon2003!
Southies, you can try this link instead http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/mwr/ This site got monthly reports. In each report, towards the end, the rainfall section breaks down by area and by day. This is awesome!! For the brick issue, my SS said the senior managers (his boss and the building manager??) are now talking to Boral. If Boral is not supplying the same bricks, we are definitely pursuing to knock them all down and redo. Boral mentioned about some treatment to the bricks. I don't know exactly what this is about, but it sounds like a patchy fix, rather than a proper fix.

I hope Boral will come to terms so we can move on the build.
Anyone got experience with this sort of meetings?

Re: Clarendon Brighton - Builder done, my turn to finish it off! 17Dec 19, 2008 7:56 am Southies Thanks rldragon2003 for that, however the page is not opening It should be http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/dwo Building Clarendon Brighton - Bricks issue resolved, I hope 18Dec 22, 2008 10:18 pm We had our on-site meeting this morning. As it turned out, Boral got the batch number mixed up. Our first delivery was from batch 41. Somehow, their record is showing 21!!! Must be someone's sloppy data entry They have been looking for the wrong batch!!!
They made a few phone calls right there and confirmed stocks from batch 41. We should be getting them delivered on the 5th. The bricklayers will first lay a few courses for me to verify. If all go well, they will finish the brickwork right away. Apparently, the bricklayers are quite eager to finish this job so they can get paid! I am keeping my fingers cross hoping the bricks will be right this time Building Clarendon Brighton - Done and moved in Sept 2009 Re: Clarendon Brighton - Builder done, my turn to finish it off! 19Dec 23, 2008 6:09 am Great news on the resolution, eho.
Does that mean that you will get liquidated damages for the days lost?

Does that mean that you will get liquidated damages for the days lost? I think liquidated damages only applies when exceeded the 30 weeks completion. Besides, Clarendon only pays $15 a day, not something I would rather Building Clarendon Brighton - Done and moved in Sept 2009 Hi, did you get any money from insurance? if you did, does it match what you've already paid the builders? 3 9565 I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 15276 4 14463 |
