Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 13261Feb 02, 2017 10:49 am Question For those already got keys. Did masterton use the shower screen place that was in your colours book if not did they tell you who they used. 2 of my shower screens were not installed last Friday. Said one day this week now its monday. NOT GOOD ENOUGH they were ordered 10 weeks ago. My SS is too soft and accepts this well they wont tell me who is the shower company they are using so i can get up them myself. I have a right to know the company right as it should be the same as my selections list. My valuator needs to come back to check everything again. FFS i wont get the keys next Friday the way M handle things Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 13262Feb 02, 2017 12:56 pm Why did they do PCI when those were not in yet? All those were in except the appliances and aircon for us Saltwater M doesn't work that way. Look at the payment schedule, they already have the bulk of the funds anyway. M won't hurry they will just find excuses not to do things...like us...I have to resubmit my building inspection report or they won't fix the chips on my kitchen or ensuite Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 13263Feb 02, 2017 1:23 pm MGardz Why did they do PCI when those were not in yet?

M won't hurry they will just find excuses not to do things...like us...I have to resubmit my building inspection report or they won't fix the chips on my kitchen or ensuite Oh you know how these idiots run their company by now MGardz. They are f......king idiots. They were ordered 10 weeks ago yet still not done they were supposed to be installed by last friday morning had PCI late that afternoon. As usual they cant even measure right so 2 were not installed they didnt make them the 10 mm thick. So after speaking via text to my SS informing me that they will be on site monday with them i decide to drive by to see if anyone else was there completing my PCI issues. Surprisingly my SS and shower screen mob (Metro showers and wardrobes from Prestons) name supplied by tradie not masterton. They were doing one screen today seems they still dont have one ready. Got up my SS this is not acceptable nothing he can do he said. I said i would complain to head office as this will hold back my keys and pushing it very fine to say the least to get my valuator from the bank back. I quote his reply "where has complaining got you so far NO WHERE". AT this point even though i promised myself these arseholes would not get to me this year. I had to walk away felt a heart attack coming on. Damm thought i was stronger than this. I left the site composed myself rang the shower screen mob. Will be installed tomorrow. Sick of doing M job for them. My SS has no idea how to get things done in time too soft. Too young.

Hi rainbow 05, we are building the tempus elite..i haven't checked the slab out in person yet as my hubby was the one who went and took pics. I'll have to go have a look. What are you building?

Light cracking is common with concrete slabs, as long as it isn't structural cracking you should be OK. So hair line cracks that aren't deep shouldn't be a concern.

I fear we are going to run into some of the same problems with our bank as we are doing our own tiles on the floor and our SS has said he will hold the carpet til our tiling is finished. The other thing I fear is that our whole interior needs to be repainted as well. The things we have seen are a disgrace and what's most ups thing is we paid the painter cash to do an extra coat - what a waste of money that could have been spent somewhere else Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 13269Feb 02, 2017 5:18 pm Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅
Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 13272Feb 02, 2017 5:24 pm NJC It's bloody scary! And we don't have any funds left as we have been doing things externally ourselves My bank seems to think that all other homes appliances and air cond motor are in for PCI inspection and payment Does anyone know about this Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 13273Feb 02, 2017 5:44 pm NJC sent u a PM it says failed so let me know if u didnt get it Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 13275Feb 02, 2017 9:07 pm We are due to sign contracts next week. Do you know if we can take the paperwork home before signing? The sample contracts supplied doesn't list the inclusions & exclusions (eg lights bulb) and i don't want to feel rushed and sign something on the spot and then leave realising we'd forgotten something. Also, i like a chance to check out the builder's details as well. Is that supplied or does the builder the contract refers to is M?

They dont give you any light bulbs at all unless you pay for downlights as an extra. I would INSIST they email you ENTIRE contract 48hrs prior to signing your contract they will try and say no blah blah INSIST. Things to look for which we failed to be advised excess soil removal charges did they discuss there is such a charge and extra if they find rock. We were not advised we thought we were signing fixed site costs as thats what the big heading said. Good luck with your build Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 13277Feb 03, 2017 5:10 am sandra 2016 kly525 We are due to sign contracts next week.

Surely lights should be considered as part of the package...? When you buy an existing home it comes with lights...lol My tender has details on the excess soil and it mentioned rocks. But i think i will ring up during business hours and check with them first. Thanks for your help Sandra. So many things i never thought to check... Oh another thought that came to mind while i was in the shower this morning, can we change the ac ducts after signing contracts without variation fees or its fine to make changes as its not a structure thing?

Any changes incur $1000 fee so do everything b4 u sign Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 13279Feb 03, 2017 6:48 am Now that i thought about it you do your air cond stuff at colours app. You go into a seperate room with a air cond man. The free one that they give you is not good enough to run more than 2 rooms at a time. Our upgrade cost 6 grand for a daikin air cond that will cool whole house.

Yeah coz I'd like aircon ducs for all the rooms upstairs. Ok. Ill confirm with M person today since I have to ask other questions. Is it possible to get a credit for the air con and go with our own supplier? 4 16727 i imagine you also have another contract with an architect? and yeah, whatever other's said about special conditions and appendices 16 16001 Hi all I am looking to run a water line under my concrete footpath which is directly next to my home, was seeing if this is possible without cutting the entire section… 0 20177 |
