Wow, you are really smashing it! Site start already after paying deposit just this year! I've been praying for good weather too since last week and so far, it's been great! Our pre-pour/steel inspection is on 22 Aug and then they'll start the pour on 23 Aug Darbecca is doing the inspection for us.. Felt it took ages as nothing happened for 3 months as we had to wait for tender presenters. Then it picked up after the tender. We've selected New Home Inspections to do ours. Waiting on BC to provide site suervisor so that I can pass it to them. new homes is fab, we used them. Colin was very good Re: Porter Davis homes 15300Aug 17, 2017 10:58 am Ashik_09 Waldorf_Grange_Build So when I went out to visit my house the other day I noticed a plaster bulkhead in the void was not installed. The site supervisor said it was never on the drawings so they didn't put one in. I pulled up my google docs and showed him we were charged for it in our tender documents. He said they will have to add it in but the scaffolding has already been taken away and will now need to come back. They are due to start painting next week so lucky I spotted it now. Please go over your tender with the drawings right before the build and ask if you think something is missing. This is not something I thought of originally when I went through the drawings. Hard to know what should and shouldn't be on there. - View my blog at http://www.waldorfgrangebuild.wordpress.com Good you found it on time I think they should provide a 3d walk through as well,... We had asked for 2 sets of hangers on LHS of the WIR and a single on RHS.. The hanger line on left was at 6ft and 5ft on the right in the contract drawing.. and I was like ??????????????? and the BC goes, because there is a bulkhead.. and when I asked why.. didn't know why there was a bulk head.. and took 2 hours to remove the bulkhead and sync the hanger line heights All of this happened on the contract day.. now am looking at my contract documents and I am seeing some serious issues which we have address with bulkheads, renders, render paneling and window styles. Just wait till you actually build and mistakes are still made... we had several issues where things were not completed to plan. We found it very frustrating when we spent months perfecting contracts and drawings causing delay and trades still coudln't follow them. So long as they are right before you start they will have to fix them. Good luck Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 12345 Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 74717 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
