Day 20 of my 20 working days and NOTHING from Masterton no letter no port a loo they have not taken over my fence from ATF yet, no supervisor assigned to my build maybe he dont even exist yet. What is the point of the 20 working days besides ordering materials that i was told from management they started ordering them b4 the 20 days due to their constant stuff ups. Where in the contract does it state $50 per day if they dont finish in time all i can see if $50 per day or $1 I just wish i knew about this forum before i left my $3900 deposit cause i would not give these incompetent people a cent of my money. Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 11535Jun 28, 2016 12:24 pm Hang in there Sandra, things will start moving soon. We got our fence & Port-a-loo towards the end of our 20 days. Our Site Supervisor called me in the first week of the construction period. If you are concerned, just check with your CC.

They use Jetmaster who are pretty expensive, is it possible to not go through M for it? I have no idea exactly what is needed for a gas fireplace, but assuming some of it will have to be done by M? Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 11539Jun 28, 2016 5:23 pm We didn't go through M for our fireplace (although it's a Jetmaster) so as long as you tell them at tender stage there should be no issue just know what unit you want as it will govern the dimensions, material of the wall and position of the gas outlet and PowerPoint. We were looking at a Lopi as well and know that one needed a different gyprock and frame as the way it pumped heat was different to the one we got https://mandgbuildatmulgoarise.wordpress.com/ Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 11540Jun 28, 2016 8:23 pm sandra 2016 I emailed them apparently were back in drafting plans for engineers they seem to have not got it right yet after we signed off on plans. Passed CDC and construction but engineers fixing plans now so we wont see any movement until Engineers sign off apparently. Is this normal i can see 17.6 and 24.6 amendments. I thought once its signed off on everything was supposed to be correct. Sandra, you signed off on the Construction Plans, M then draw up the Engineering Plans that contain the extra engineering 'stuff'. While it is frustrating to have a delay it's better they get this right! Once the 20 days has expired you are in the build contract period, even if M don't actually start building. In your contract on page 3 they will say how many business days is allowed for the build, plus there are 'rain days' they can claim. From this you can work out the expected completion date. If they go over that time they pay you $50 per day - point 11 on page 3. We have two friends who built with M and both were completed within the contract period. Plus all the reviews we have heard, people are very happy with the homes they have built with M. I spoke to someone just last weekend who built with M 11 years ago and they love their house, plus a friend's parents built 30 years ago with M and haven't had any issues with their house.
