The house is cleaned, the electrics are finished. Hopefully soon?? Re: Switch Homes-SOR WA-The Banskia- New photos 109Sep 26, 2014 10:25 am We have a date! At first we were told it will be next week and we will give you a date soon. That was a bit crappy as we told them and told them that we both need to get time off and need notice. One week and not even knowing which day was not acceptable. So I called and said just that and let them know we also needed to book the day with our inspector....... I got a bit of silence on the end of the line when I said that. So to their credit calls were made and within an hour a date was set....... In two weeks! How did that happen? It was going to be next week so less than a week and now it is two. I can only guess it is due to the inspector. Hopefully it all goes well.

Fingers crossed KR Re: Switch Homes-SOR WA-The Banskia- PCI date set 111Sep 28, 2014 10:54 am Well we just noticed that there is a missing powerpoint behind the kitchen mosaics. We have photos from before the splash backs were tiled and it was chased in then just covered over? So the list for the meeting begins.... Re: Switch Homes-SOR WA-The Banskia- PCI date set 113Oct 08, 2014 10:10 am Today is the day! PCI time. Our inspector will be there and our painter is popping by too. Re: Switch Homes-SOR WA-The Banskia- PCI date set 114Oct 08, 2014 11:04 am Maybe not. We were emailed to confirm our PCI was today and we both room a day off work plus booked our inspector and the painter and Switch booked the supervisor for tomorrow. FFS.

Re: Switch Homes-SOR WA-The Banskia- PCI date set 117Oct 13, 2014 2:24 pm awesome house we are in Cardup not too far from you, although we havent physically started yet. how did you go with the inspection? Re: Switch Homes-SOR WA-The Banskia- PCI date set 118Oct 13, 2014 5:05 pm Well lots of stupid stuff like painting only the side of things you can see. Lots of scratches and dents in the roof sheets, gutters not properly secured, some bricks that we told them were not good enough are still not good enough, a few gouged door frames just painted over, non-closing drawers and cupboards, multipurpose room doors dont close properly, the list goes on......oh and HALF THE ROOF INSULATION NOT THERE!! Just as far as you could see from the man hole was there. Thank goodness the guy went right in. There was also a bit of tiling my nine year old niece could have done better. Turns out it was from the scullery essastone being replaced when they chipped it and they just got the maintenance team to retile the mosaics. At $60 a sheet they need to be done by a tiler and done well!! They have ten days to fix it all up. OMG I am over it Re: Switch Homes-SOR WA-The Banskia- PCI date set 119Oct 15, 2014 10:33 am Fingers crossed they get everything sorted for you. Sounds like your inspector was very worth while! Can't believe the insulation being missing. Would you mind sharing your inspection contact via pm? I think it's a worthwhile investment Re: Switch Homes-SOR WA-The Banskia- 114 defects...sigh 120Oct 16, 2014 12:00 pm I think we used Prospect? We had the PCI on the 8th and it was supposed to be ten days till handover. I never expected it to be ten days but I did think we would get a date. Today is the 16th and still no date. It feels like they are stalling. We did give them a list of 114 defects but most were cosmetic or one day jobs. Our painter goes away in November till February and our floor guys have the Christmas break off so yeah, very stressed right now. We are coming up to two years since we signed and we are about two months past the 250 days in our contract. We have never been notified that there would be a delay. Thank god we are not renting. We have already bought a whole house of new furniture and appliances and I am getting tired of having to tell them just a bit longer when they call about delivery dates.
