This is the day that Masterton arranges at handover, whereby all the post PCI items get installed, such as - - electric garage door - hot water system - alarm system - home hub - data cabling termination - speaker cabling termination - delivery and installation of oven, dishwasher, etc - connection to gas - installation of carpet Most of this was happening at the house when I left there this morning. They'd made substantial progress with carpet, alarm and all cabling was being finished. I'll nick back later to get some photos. Will keep you posted! I just had a look at your blog - Congrats!!! It's so exciting - it's just all coming together so well for you!!!! Merlot Hilton with Traditional Facade Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 3.0 2283Apr 18, 2013 10:20 pm Vatche onebighappyfamily Went and checked on the frame work today and we now have windows and sliding doors. Things seem to be moving along quite nicely considering that it has been raining occasionally here. Have found that they are still working in the light rain which is good for us - the three guys are obviously not scared of a little bit of rain. We had similar experience, even during brick stage. Same here, although the roofers weren't going to take that risk - probably a fair call really!!!! It's awesome seeing your house take shape isn't it onebighappyfamily!

As I mentioned, all M has to do is use better communication skills and employ staff who look after clients needs, rather than ring and rudely order the client to 'stay off site'. Every step, every progress on the planning/selection/build is a MAJOR thing for clients spending a fortune on their dream. Tap into this client need, and you dig gold. Takes no effort or money. But, "Jim would not have it any other way"...

Wow looking good just had a squizz at your blog So how long was it between getting the keys and all the above happening? 2-3 weeks. But I lot less if Statewide Electrical answered the phone. They are needed to connect to the grid. They took a week to return my calls. But you can get your own provider, that's the good news! But occupation certificates will take a LOT longer if you do. We're getting our own cleaner through tomorrow, with a view to moving in next week, pending said certificate.
