Re: Building Talbot 28 in Craigieburn 7Sep 21, 2009 11:01 pm I also think the M setup is really strange my SS from coral calls at least once a week (so far - don't jinx me ) if not more, and prior to the start date you are sent a letter stating the official start date and giving you your SS's full name and mobile number, and the contruction managers full name and mobile number... 2014 - Prepping to build the Soho 4 with Plantation homes, industrial style 2009 - Built the Brampton with Coral Homes viewtopic.php?f=31&t=15399&start=280 Re: Building Talbot 28 in Craigieburn 8Sep 22, 2009 8:48 am Shelz Hey Dave, Gee Calzo that's unbelievable that you haven't met your SS yet! Have either of you been given a reason or explanation for this? Nup...but have tried calling and e mailing to no avail, i keep getting messages and no answers. Very frustrating. We're almost finished the third stage and have had not one phone call... Building the Talbot with the big M!! Re: Building Talbot 28 in Craigieburn 9Sep 22, 2009 10:04 am I was told by My CSC that there is no need to talk to the site supervisor up until they start inside. They said that this would make the process quicker without interruptions... I dont mind too much not talking to them if the house goes up fast... It is a good point on paying progress payments?? but i will pay them without delay anyway, i need to move into this house tomorrow... Re: Building Talbot 28 in Craigieburn 10Sep 22, 2009 10:24 am Just be careful as M have issued all the invoices before the work has been completed...in the case of the slab the week before. I don't think that is right at all. They have us down for finishing lock up tomorrow but i don't see that happening and i guarantee you they will send an invoice anyway! Building the Talbot with the big M!! Re: Building Talbot 28 in Craigieburn 11Sep 22, 2009 2:09 pm My cousin who built with M* had the same issue regarding the invoice being sent before completion of lock up stage. She rang head office complained and refused to make pmt and they were very apologetic and got straight to work on completing that stage. She didn't pay a thing untill she was satisfied! I completely understand what you are saying Dave as we need to be in asap aswell. Im sick of practically living out of a suitcase at mums, but you also want to make sure that everything is done correctly. My cousin had so many problems with the house but because she picked them up in time they rectified everything! I must say though that I dont intend on being as picky about everything as she was because it ended up meaning that her house build went 5months over contract! Im hoping that ours will be done within the 260day contract at the latest. One can only hope!!!
