Re: Building with Redink - PCI is tomorrow (3rd Sept)!!! 162Sep 27, 2014 12:52 am We had handover on Wed which was great but a bit if an anti-climax as we can't move until floors go in. We will meet the painter at the house tomorrow morning to see the finished job. Can't wait to see how the feature walls look!

Re: Building with Redink - PCI is tomorrow (3rd Sept)!!! 165Oct 02, 2014 6:21 pm Congrats on handover guys!!! Looking forward to some pics soon! Re: Building with Redink - PCI is tomorrow (3rd Sept)!!! 166Oct 02, 2014 6:36 pm Awesome news! Looking forward to the photos, especially of the flooring. Re: Building with Redink - PCI is tomorrow (3rd Sept)!!! 167Oct 02, 2014 10:57 pm I've been wanting to get pics but it was very dark and grey the days we were there over the weekend and we have no lights yet in the main areas so the photos I took aren't very clear and don't show the actual colours off well at all. Our flooring to main areas & corridors (vinyl plank) will star tomorrow but they won't finish tomorrow because they will have a late start due to a delay in another job. So hopefully by sat evening they will be finished. My husband made all the arrangements to move everything from storage and my in-laws on the sat but it'll have to sit in the garage as the floors won't be finished. Carpets go down on Tue. Fencing starts Tuesday also. Still need to arrange the down lights to the main area just had 2 little boys fighting fevers all week so the house progress was pushed to the side I'm afraid this week!

Re: Building with Redink - PCI is tomorrow (3rd Sept)!!! 168Oct 03, 2014 6:33 am Oh no hope the little ones are better soon And fingers crossed the floors are done in time for you to move in as planned! Re: Building with Redink - PCI is tomorrow (3rd Sept)!!! 169Oct 03, 2014 11:07 pm So to top off a bad week our flooring didn't start today because apparently our slab is in very poor condition. So now instead of the $5 per sq meter for floor prep we are up $20 per sq meter bring that to a total of $3,800! Disappointed with RI is an understatement! Were meeting to flooring company at the house tomorrow morning to get photos as he's not even sure the slab would meet the Australian standards Our First Build with Redink Found Block - 09/2012 Titles - 09/2013 Interior Design - 19/09/13 Prestart - 01/10/13 Building Permit - 04/01/14 Site Works - 7/02/14 Slab... Re: Building with Redink - PCI is tomorrow (3rd Sept)!!! 170Oct 03, 2014 11:47 pm My friend had the same problem . Because with that kind of flooring your slab has to be pretty level . Im sure she got her ss back to have a look and dont qoute me but I think redink gave her some money towards it .its worth ago .I had tiling done so you probley can get away with it more . Re: Building with Redink - PCI is tomorrow (3rd Sept)!!! 171Oct 04, 2014 4:31 am OMG beejandcait that is a bit of a worry isn't it? I really hope you get RedInk to rectify/compensate you for that Re: Building with Redink - PCI is tomorrow (3rd Sept)!!! 172Oct 04, 2014 9:23 am The lady at the end of our street also built with RI and guy who laid her tiles said he would have denied her the job had he seen slab prior to commuting to the quote because floors were so poor Our First Build with Redink Found Block - 09/2012 Titles - 09/2013 Interior Design - 19/09/13 Prestart - 01/10/13 Building Permit - 04/01/14 Site Works - 7/02/14 Slab... Re: Building with Redink - PCI is tomorrow (3rd Sept)!!! 173Oct 04, 2014 10:16 am That is very disappointing. I'm going to make sure to ask our inspector if he checked levelness (not sure that's a word) on our slab. We're tiling and I don't want to get mucked about when the time comes. Good luck beejandcait. Let us know how it all turns out. Re: Building with Redink - PCI is tomorrow (3rd Sept)!!! 174Oct 04, 2014 11:41 pm I will post pics but we met the installation guy out at the house this morning and sure enough he showed us many areas throughout slab where there was as much as 2.5cm difference over 2m with his spirit level! He was quite shocked and annoyed as now he is delayed on our job as he had to spend the day preping the slab instead of installing floor. They won't finish on time for our carpets to go in as scheduled Tue so another delay. And instead of the $5 a sq meter prep which is normal we have to pay $25 a sq meter!

Were meeting to flooring company at the house tomorrow morning to get photos as he's not even sure the slab would meet the Australian standards That is just shocking. I would be so p1ssed off. Definitely see what RI has to say as Melsie suggested. I've run over my slab with a spirit level, and it seems ok, but I also don't know what I'm doing. I've committed a lot of money to spotted gum floorboards, I will lose my sh1t if I have to spend even more money doing a job which should have already been done. I feel for you. That really sucks Re: Building with Redink - PCI is tomorrow (3rd Sept)!!! 177Oct 05, 2014 4:56 pm I definitely agree - they should sort it out!

Re: Building with Redink - PCI is tomorrow (3rd Sept)!!! 180Oct 06, 2014 9:39 pm Hey beejandcait, that looks awful. Very sorry about your slab issues. I did speak with our building inspector about it and apparently leveling the slab isn't part of a standard inspection. However, when the flooring people discover it being out of level then you have a case against the builder. There are standard acceptable tolerances and if those aren't met then you can take it to the building commission. I goggled a bit and found this link and there's a section about slab tolerances: https://www.commerce.wa.gov.au/sites/de ... v_2013.pdf Sorry, not like you need another stress and project but just letting you know that RI does have responsibility here. Good luck. Yes, I have. But, I haven't paid yet. They know they did not do proper jobs and I sent the email re: final payment, I cannot pay. They said, we will do 2nd PCI. Since… 2 5460 We hired Darbecca to do every stage inspection, and I strongly recommend them to anyone that asks me. They were amazing.
