We had heaps of issues with our roof as per independent building inspector report. Many issues have been resolved by redink (that took them 2 months to fix) and many issues could not be resolved ie nails were rusted, roof not done as per drawing etc etc. Our garage is right at the boundry. So our plans have retaining to be build by builder (approx 3 meter before the garage start and 1 meter after garage finish). Retaining has not been done so far (we reached lock up stage last month). When we pointed out to SS, he said there is no need for retaining. We said that it is in plan and it says retaining is to assist with the structural integrity of home. SS said he will look into the plans and will get back to us. We did not hear from him for 2-3 weeks and when we pointed out again, he said yes it is in plans but we have not been charged for that. Now what do u reply for such remarks. I said how do we know if we have been charged for that or not, it is in plans and contract. We have lost trust at all now. So many ongoing issues with our build that can be easily avoided if they pay little bit more attention. I feel I am doing SS role as well as i keep pointing out petty errors to them.

Pavers have been checked and they said they are from the same batch but because of rain / moisture in few top layers, their colour looks different.

Have they sorted out your issue due to storm? regards cc101 Hello CC101, they are sorting out the damages due to the storm (i hope since i cant enter the house to inspect), so this has pushed us back with regards to the handover date. They have not come back to us with regards with a more definite date, which is understandable since what happened was not totally within their control, though there would have not been any drama or the damages would have been minimal if only they would have done what they promised to have done prior to the storm. But no point in finger pointing now. All we want is for them to fix, i mean really fix the damages prior to handover. best regards, aries24 Prelim Contract to Build - 31/07/2011 Building contract and Plans - 21 Sept 2011 Pre-start - 13 Oct 2011 Settlement - 14 Oct 2011 Earthworks - 5 Dec 2011 SLABBED - 13 Dec 2011 Roof Framed -7 Mar12 Re: Building with redink homes 99Jun 19, 2012 7:41 pm its getting to be really frustrating! monitoring the completion, almost visiting the site multiple times a day for everyday for the past week or so, and we hardly notice anything done. wait is so agonizing!
