AmyMumma23 A-Mazing splashback!! Love it!! deluxes Oh wow... I've only just seen your splashback... WOWZA! What a gorgeous feature & such a beautiful colour 1rocky spalshback is awesome Thanks Guys, we changed our mind at selections from a lighter and brighter blue to this deeper blue “ABYSS LOW IRON GLASS” and think it has paid off with the contrast with the white. Really has a calm oceanic feel to it in the morning when the open plan living is flooded with sunshine. We both scuba dive so maybe it is just something with the Blue of the ocean that drew us to this colour. Have walkthrough tomorrow which will be just that on our watch, it is not the final PCI as we confirmed that with SS given our desire to have an inspector undertake a pre-handover inspection. I would hope from the meeting we will atleast know a Handover date Deposit Paid 31/10/12 Selections 25/1/13 NHC 28/2 DCA 20/3 Siteworks 2/5 Slabbed 20/5 Wall Frames 3/6 Brickwork Finished 2/7 Lock Up 19/7 viewtopic.php?f=31&t=58864 Re: PCI not far off 123Sep 26, 2013 9:16 am Hope it's soon for you, Miss Mia. The splashback is certainly a perfect choice for you and will give exactly the effect of oceanic calm that you are after--once again, it is simply stunning.

Fingers crossed for the inspection. Re: PCI not far off 128Oct 08, 2013 9:04 pm Well the report came back and as the inspector said "there are more defects than usual".

It is like they went and cleaned all our windows with a pot scourer. This is on like all but 1-2 windows.

Sick of their weak excuses and C grade trades which have been the case from day One. Angry...just a little !!!

I hope you can get all the problems fixed with minimal issue. Re: PCI not far off 130Oct 09, 2013 9:35 am Fingers crossed Fairmont. The frustration is very annoying. We can accept there will be issues along the way but the sum of the parts adds up unfortunately. Reality is any Builder should take pride in the work and Customer Experience. Maybe with my vocation I am use to delivering a high level of professional service and set the expectations to high !!! Then I know I don't when the windows are presented like that as if someone took to them with a stick.

There are so many things already that could have been a big problem such as wrong brick laid if we were not micro managing.
As for the windows I don't get why they did not stop when they scratched the first one! Re: PCI not far off 132Oct 09, 2013 1:09 pm Doesn't look acceptable to me. I'd want repairs, and repairs that make it look like new, not just patch ups that are obvious. You are paying a lot of money for your house and you deserve to get what you pay for, not poor quality materials or workmanship. Hope everything is sorted soon. Re: PCI not far off 133Oct 09, 2013 3:55 pm Meant to say that there was a guy in an m ute there this morning and a painter. Re: PCI not far off 134Oct 16, 2013 4:54 pm D day tomorrow, official Handover after 2 x Pre-Handover. The message got across last Friday and come Monday 7am there was no less that 2 sparkies, 3 painters and a tiler all working through it. Unfortunately as reported earlier as to the condition of our window frames they are to all be replaced after handover. Shall report in once the keys are to hand and hopefully the HWS and Gas Hob all installed.
