Re: Matt's Simonds Stirling 2400- Update + PCI Date! 143May 26, 2010 7:25 pm Had a look at the house today and saw all the downpipes have been painted, front door has 1st coat on and all the caulking had been done on all tiling/ cabinetry joins. It appears the SS had a quick walkthrough and has marked defects on the walls such as dints/ chips/ paint droplets etc. So i decided to go in myself and went through the whole house with a fine toothed comb and marked a heap more for them to fix ALSO Received a call from the SS today and we have a PCI date booked in for the 22nd June! Which is about 3 1/2 weeks away We don't really have much else to be completed and we were thinking 2 weeks maximum for the PCI date but have been told 22nd. Might try and see if we can push it forward at all because there is really only a week or so of work to do if they get their butts into gear. All that needs to be done is... Finish Kitchen Splashback Tiling Shower Screens/ Mirrors Door Knobs Installed Robe Shelving Flyscreens So all going well we will be in by the end of June but will hopefully be earlier!

Re: Matt's Simonds Stirling 2400- Update + PCI Date! 146May 26, 2010 10:42 pm Yeah its hard not to notice it! haha. There aren't too many double story houses in the estate which is surprising... thought there'd be alot more. Yes it'll be great when we move in and we can listen to nail guns going off at 7am in the morning!! haha. Its good that there are about 5 houses surrounding our block that have the major construction phase finished so it shouldn't be too loud directly next to us The other simonds houses around us ie. the one across the road and the one to the left of ours have flown up so quickly... they are really only about 3 weeks behind us i reckon which is amazing!

We are so close to finishing but the earliest they could get the QA inspection is on the 18th June so that makes PCI 22nd June. It's gonna be a long wait because construction will be finished in a week or two Havent really got any good pics. Have really only gone to see the house at night recently so its hard to take good photos to show whats been happening. I'll take a few more next week when the front door will have its final coat and hopefully the bathrooms will be fitted out. Did you have a pre PCI inspection to speed up the process and identify imperfections earlier or was your PCI your only inspection? Cant wait to see your pics especially the kitchen fitout!

Re: Matt's Simonds Stirling 2400- Update + PCI Date! 150May 27, 2010 10:48 pm johnlong hey matt, are you building on the fenceline on the left? if so are you using the garage as the fence? No we have a retaining wall to the left of the garage and the fence will be just left of that... there is 1m clearance from the garage. The house next to us on the corner has their garage on our border so their garage wall will be left as is and we'll fence either side.

Re: Matt's Simonds Stirling 2400- Update + PCI Date! 152May 28, 2010 9:44 am Yeah i saw the posts going in yesterday when i was down there. They must have it included in their house package and the builder is putting it up now to save on temporary fencing costs. Its a bit annoying for us that we have to wait until the next door neighbour has their garage bricked so our fencing can be done... should only be a couple weeks though as they will be roofing soon then bricking.

Cant wait to see your pics especially the kitchen fitout! Yep we had a pre-PCI on the Monday, and there were only a few scrapes and things to fix up, nothing major, so we made our PCI for straight after the QA the Friday morning. SS then called me Thursday arvo to say QA done early so we made PCI first thing Friday morning, then I spent the rest of teh day calling and bugging the bank til they had my cheque ready. I am a very squeaky wheel I've taken lots of pics, especially of the kitchen which i am in LOVE with, but existing only on dialup so will upload on Wednesday once our broadband is up and running, I promise!!!

Everything is going very slowly at the moment as they have a few weeks up their sleeves until pci. We have our kitchen splashback tiling completed now, we really like the finished product now that it has all been grouted/ silicone sealed. Our door handles are installed now as well as the door stops. All thats left to go now: Showerscreens/ mirrors, Wardrobe shelving/ rails, flyscreens. Havent been able to get inside the past week or two to have a look around which is annoying, but good in a way from a security point of view. Not many exciting stages left now... just a wait until the PCI Simonds Stirling 2400 Cascades On Clyde Site Start: 15.1.10 Current Stage: Handover 24th June Our Thread:https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=29066 Re: Matt's Simonds Stirling 2400- Update + PCI Date! 157Jun 02, 2010 8:36 pm The most exciting is yet to come-moving in!

We have less than 2 weeks til PCI now and everything is basically finished. We have all our shower screens and mirrors in, taps, sinks, toilets, handles, robes etc. All that is really left to do before PCI are the flyscreens which are on order and finish off some caulking and the usual touch ups. You'll see a few red spots where our SS has marked some defects... all are minor and won't be a big drama to fix which is good. A few photos of the front, our showers, basins, kitchen, robes and in a couple you can see our carpet colour.
