Will get onto it soon My Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=62841 Re: Ben Trager Homes: Moved in - pics!! 328Feb 13, 2014 12:50 pm Was everything finished when you went to your PCI meeting with BT? We have ours on Monday yet so many jobs are not complete or have even started. Don't see the point in a PCI meeting if the house isn't 99% complete. Re: Ben Trager Homes: Moved in - pics!! 329Feb 13, 2014 1:15 pm I felt the same as you, but having PCI when we did allowed us to get keys sooner rather then later. There were still things that needed to be finished when we had our 2nd PCI/Handover meeting. A few of these items in the week following were completed, which simply meant we couldn't change one of the doors over to our key so BT's trades could still get in to the house when we weren't there. We didn't mind as our own trades were still working away. We are now just shy of 2 months since having keys, and there are items on the PCI list still to finish! Will need to contact BT soon with a friendly reminder! Thankfully they are only minor things, for example we still don't have soap dishes installed in both showers.. My Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=62841 Re: Ben Trager Homes: Moved in - pics!! 330Feb 13, 2014 1:32 pm Wow really. Sounds like you need to give them a prod for sure. Besides this everything has been going good for us. We met the site supervisor for the first time only last month which we thought was a bit slack seeing as the house is pretty much finished. We still need the roof to be finished, paving done, garage door, shower doors, and splash back in kitchen. I would have preferred these major jobs done before PCI to save coming back and checking them again and taking another couple of weeks to fix things up. Very impatient now cause we were told it could be complete by now haha Re: Ben Trager Homes: Moved in - pics!! 331Feb 18, 2014 8:42 pm Was your island bench the one that comes as standard?

Yep! My Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=62841 Re: Ben Trager Homes: Moved in - pics!! 333Feb 20, 2014 8:11 pm Did you get any joy with them finishing off the PCI items? Re: Ben Trager Homes: Moved in - pics!! 334Feb 21, 2014 12:45 pm Received a response last week saying they'd look into in, but haven't heard anything since! My Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=62841 Re: Ben Trager Homes: Moved in - pics!! 335Feb 25, 2014 11:27 pm BT contacted us today, painter booked for next week to come out and do the 2nd coat of paint to the DP's and a few other touch ups. Really hope we get a different painter to the last one! Plumber should also be in contact this week to arrange a time to fix some of the plumbing issues too. Will get on to pics soon, progress is just a bit slow atm. We are getting a patio built onto the existing alfresco (3mx9m) which will take a few months before it's built. So until that's done, we can't lay the decking. My other half has done all the brick work for the outdoor kitchen and veggie garden which are both going to be rendered this w/e. At least the limestone garden bed out the front has been completed, and last weekend we made a start planting our native garden. We are getting there, slowly! My Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=62841 Re: Ben Trager Homes: Moved in - pics!! 336Feb 26, 2014 9:05 am I don't like painters anymore, so many 'patch' ups todate by same mob, surfaces still look rough and 'secondhand'. Have you got the same so called trades people? Lol Re: Ben Trager Homes: Moved in - pics!! 337Feb 26, 2014 11:01 pm Glad you finally got hold of them. Going to be great when it's finished and you can sit back and relax on your deck. We had our PCI meeting and the supervisor said it was a waste of time having it. God knows what's happening there but ours has been pretty well dormant since Xmas. Keep getting brushed off by liaison so I'm not sure what to do. Sorry for the hijack of your thread. Need to vent somewhere lol Re: Ben Trager Homes: Moved in - pics!! 338Feb 28, 2014 1:40 am Serialbuilder I don't like painters anymore, so many 'patch' ups todate by same mob, surfaces still look rough and 'secondhand'. Have you got the same so called trades people? Lol Have been told we will be getting a different painter to the one we had, yay! The original painters had to come out several times to 'fix' their work, so glad we get a different painter who will hopefully do if right the first time. Pretty happy BT have been able to get someone out so soon after my email! Re: Ben Trager Homes: Moved in - pics!! 339Feb 28, 2014 1:45 am Antzz Glad you finally got hold of them.

Need to vent somewhere lol Vent away, can understand how frustrated you are! How long ago was PCI? They give 2 weeks between PCI and handover, do you think they'll have everything done in that time?

Need to vent somewhere lol Can sympathise with you. We've had nothing done in the last 4 weeks since the render was finished (nearly). The roof was to be started "soon" for the last 3 weeks. We've had no contact from liaison in over 2 weeks. Sorry for another hijack emacleo0! Hope they fix up the rest of the outstanding things for you soon. 8 6156 5 6823 Joe, it depends on your certifier but we are noticing the ones we deal with are really cracking down.
