Hi,
Had a look at these forums a few months ago to see if anyone else was building with Switch in WA and just thought I would come back on and post on our house.
We signed up with them in October last year and after 4 weeks we got our draft plans which we were stoked with and then waited until February to get working drawings. We got a custom design as we wanted a big house and our own touches. Our Sales Rep was awesome and couldn't do enough for us but has since left company and we lost his special touch in getting things moving. We were rushed into prestart so we could meet finance dates and then waited 8 weeks for the costing which was just ridiculous and not sure whether it took that long for everyone else. We have had to sign 7 variations since the formal plans for constant errors in the plans and addenda.
Our slab went down in June and the brickwork commenced in July and was finished at the end of the month. Our first brickie team was fired and the second lot were very fast... which showed and we were so unhappy with the workmanship. Our SS seemed not worried and said the plaster would fix everything. Then that SS left the company and another started and he also wasn't worried. Roof timbers went up and after our building inspector came out I wanted to cry. There was so many things on both the brickwork and timbers that were wrong and at this stage the new SS had also left so we called a meeting with CM after writing a formal letter to GM. They agreed to fix everything on our list which was a relief. We have not been told who the new SS is and have been dealing with the CM since above.
The house has just been plodding along and we are now waiting on lockup which the new CLO has told us will be next week. The plaster is done, ceilings and cornices in (although wish I had upgraded them) and apart from a bit of external render to be finished where they extended an opening, everything is now looking good. Would love to know how long from lockup to pci they are taking. Can't wait to see my pivot door go in!
