Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0

Congrats NJC Great news

I will pay my PCI payment asap and hold back my final payment until its all fixed he said it could be done by this Friday and then i will re check it.

I will hand over my final payment too at that stage i dont wont to be without a ducted air motor waiting on appliances to get delivered and installsd. They wont even book my appliances install until final payment is made. the following friday should be keys too. Fingerscrossed they pull their finger out for once and get it done. I am re booking my inspector to make sure its all completed to a good standard.

Fisher,

I haven't used Nakaw but know of others who have used it. http://herlihy-riva.blogspot.com.au/sea ... -results=7 Has some photos of before and after. Search "nakawed" on the forum, Lex was another forum user who also used it.

Fisher Nepean were the cheapest we had a good installer but one lot was measured short but it was replaced at no cost in a relatively short time. I think it depends who you get allocated. Much like Masterton I suppose...

Sandra your neighbour thought Str8 Up were expensive? Be careful as we've had neighbours complain that the wood warps and discolours quickly with some of the cheaper options. Some have had to replace their lap and cap fences already

Yeah, been very busy. Moved in on 18th of December. Thanks God we had Christmas break, otherwise I would have to take time of work. A lot to do for ourselves, lots of defects. Even after moving in I regret building with M. The two positives are we no longer pay rent and we have a proper AC. With a newborn baby it would be hard to be in our rental with 2 portable ACs.

Selling it won't undo all the pain I went through building with M. Moving again is not on our plans as we have little kids, one is newborn. Selling it just to "show them" is not my style. Would rather take them to the Tribunal and get some compensation.

Fisher75 I understand what you must be going through I had minor issues and I have now been in my home 1 year and still bothers me the things I went through even though I do enjoy my new home now but its just not fair the stress one goes through and these companies think they have the right to do this. Some have different experiences which I noticed depends alot on on the supervisor you get ours was an ####### . Good luck with everything and congrats on the new baby

We got them for around 1,800 each, but I guess it may depend if they are openable or not, the size and features. Yet, 7800 for 3 of them looks expensive to me.

It may take even longer. I would suggest if you decide to go ahead and sign the contract with M negotiate a fixed tender extension fee (e.g. 900 per month). So if your tender runs out, you would have some predictable price increase. We paid around 15,000 extra and our second tender (from contract signed to start of the build) took 10! months instead of allowed 90 days.

Don't buy into "we will credit any Masterton delays to your tender", as you may end up getting: "this is not a delay, but our standard processing time" (this is what they told me after 10! months in pre-construction. If they won't budge, I would suggest just walk away. Plan preparation fee is nothing compared to the unexpected costs you may have to pay later.
