Browse Forums Building A New House Re: gurlistar - building park lane - where's the roof!? 201Dec 15, 2009 8:40 pm The roof carpenter has been delayed on another job aparently.. All the delays are turning into a bit of a joke now, so sick of being told one thing and having to chase them time after time when it doesn't happen and then being given some rubbish excuse! We don't want excuses just do what you promised!!!! Argh! I know it's the nature of the game but geees it's testing us!!! So much for smooth sailing once construction began Re: gurlistar - building park lane - where's the roof!? 202Dec 16, 2009 11:36 am Sorry to hear about the hold-up , we will be sending good vibes out to the roofies to get back on site and start your roof pronto! 18/06/09 Pre-Start / 18/09/09 Slab / 05/10/09 Brickwork / 21/10/09 Roof / 11/12/09 Lock-up 18/02/10 PCI 04/03/10 HANDOVER My Building Thread https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=24789 Re: gurlistar - building park lane - where's the roof!? 203Dec 16, 2009 1:59 pm GAH!!! It must be so frustrating Fingers crossed that once they resume work in the new year they ZIP right along with your build! viewtopic.php?f=31&t=22766 - my build thread! Time waits for no man. Unless that man is Chuck Norris. Re: gurlistar - building park lane - where's the roof!? 204Dec 16, 2009 3:31 pm Awww thanks guys, I really appreciate it. So glad you understand the frustration levels!!! The construction manager actually called not long ago. Lucky for him I was unavailable and he got my partner (aka good cop) He's acknowledged and explained the cause of the delay and has promised that it will be all systems go on the 11th Jan when we will have the roof guys, electrical and plumbing all starting work on our place pronto. We're pretty impressed that they went to the effort to sort it out properly and escalate it as clearly we're really unhappy with our progress and empty promises to date. So 11th Jan is the test, I really hope they do the right thing so we can regain our confidence in them. I'm trying to be positive and think of it as a mini "holiday" from the build. Bring on next year - all those we're racing - you better watch out, we might just catch up!! Re: gurlistar - building park lane - where's the roof!? 205Dec 16, 2009 3:40 pm Thanx for the chance to catch up. Fair is fair my slab was down a few weeks before yours. ( Actually I think it was before annies and Jodies- not like I am scoring or anything ) My bricking has only just started but they tell me they will be working thru the break Will wait and see I agree , Bring on 2010 and all the best to everyone.
