We seem to be aligned with you at this stage as far as the admin process goes as we too got our final variations to sign off. Ours took the same amount of time as yours and this was because Wisdom had to wait to see if the private certifier who issues the construction certificate had any requirements that had to be added into the final variation list. In our case there were a few things which are listed on my blog. This means for us we cannot get our construction certificate until all conditions are met. One of the conditions states that Wisdom must provide 4 copies of final drawings to them. So we have to sign off the final variations and then they will do the final drawings which is at least a 10 working day wait. Once we sign off on those they will go to the certifier who should issue the construction certificate. We were promised a site start before Christmas and our tender expires at the end id December, but it seems unlikely Wisdom will be on site by then. We have learnt to take no notice of any time frames they quote us.
On another note, did anybody who did their floors after handover have to pay Wisdom a fee for just tacking on the skirting boards?
Hi Gregol02
Thanks for that. I guess our construction certificate only came through about 5 days ago so that might account for part of that delay. There was nothing additional that we needed to include which was good.
On another note we had to pay to have our skirting boards tacked on. We came to realisation early on (along with most people) that with Project home builders they can pretty much charge whatever they like for any change to their standard plan. So even work that is technically less can be actually charged more if they feel like it. I guess customer service would suggest that they might waive the cost for you but they don't have to. Let us know if they do waive your cost and we might have a chat to them ourselves about ours.
