I hope all goes well. They started on our bricks on Friday, no gutters or roof yet though. I guess that will happen soon enough. I can't believe how quick everything is happening...we are waiting for the slump which I am sure will happen. It is a fantastic experience though...why didn't we do this years ago??

Hi craigandamy, We have our PCI on Thursday, how long did yours take? Do they give you a special form to fill out? Does the SS point out things that he thinks are not quite right or does he leave it up to you? I'm getting a bit anxious about ours, I've noticed a couple of marks on the ceiling where nails/screws aren't quite painted/filled properly is this the sort of thing that gets fixed? Sorry for asking all the questions. Good luck with getting you keys! I wanted to buy a bottle of Dom Perignon or Cristal to have on our first night in the house but at $300+ it doesn't really fit into our house budget! Re: Building with Statesman? Would you be my pacing partner? 255Nov 25, 2009 8:03 am vid I think we took about 45 minutes to do out PCI. We had a check list for each room but we also had a list of jobs that we knew about from going past when tradies were working. Our SS had a reasonable idea of issues but there some that he wasn't. There is a form that they fill out with the issues that you note as you walk around the house. You get a copy of this form and it will state a date for installation and supplier. For us our garage doors haven't been installed until after handover and the AC is the same. We also made sure that the gas line was put on the list also. After we go in I am going to walk through the house with the list that we signed of on and make sure it was all done as agreed. Good luck with it. This is the one time that you can get back at your SS over their inability to finish the product.

Would you be my pacing partner? 256Nov 25, 2009 11:15 pm Hey CraiganAmy - so how many days total from release to construction to handover? Our bricks have almost finished! Our SS says we will have the electrician on site Monday and gyprockers start Wednesday. He told me that he would rather us not be on site at all, but they don't put up fences and if I want to come in Tuesday and put up some extra insulation, that is up to me I might get my Dad to help me Monday and Tuesday after school. Re: Building with Statesman? Would you be my pacing partner? 257Dec 03, 2009 8:14 am Sounds like you didn't have many issues with your PCI craigandamy! That is great And yours seems to be coming along at a good pace netadelle, when are you hoping to be in?? Well ours is about done, we now have all of our carpets, our sinks, and kitchen accessories and our roller doors were put on! Is looking very good Was advised that our PCI will be early to mid-next week and keys shortly after, just praying now that there are no issues with the bank finalising the payments, etc... Will try and upload some pics tonight if I get time.
