Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our Build with Broadway Homes 9Sep 02, 2014 3:50 pm My build has not started yet as I am waiting for the final contract. I have been organizing this entire build via email. I specifically wanted everything in the contract to limit variables. Stockt12 can you elaborate, even by pm if you feel more comfortable. It is hard to find information on broadway builds. My main concern is the lack of insurance cover for the windows I am supplying. Would really appreciate feedback as I am only going to be flying in and out to keep tabs on the build. Cheers Mark Re: Our Build with Broadway Homes 10Sep 17, 2014 5:43 pm I am building with Broadway Homes and look forward to your updates Alex. AussieMark's as well. Like AussieMark I am organizing the build via email and it is taking a long time. We already have the building permit, but are getting bogged down in the details of the Request for Variations. Somehow items discussed in emails have not been costed or are missing from the Request for Variations. The tile limit of 330mm x 330mm for the wet areas is quite frustrating considering the high quality of the fit-out by Broadway standards. I don't know if all interior designers are useless, but I felt that the one assigned to me prior to Prestart was disorganised and didn't have a good product knowledge of the suppliers Broadway uses. (As an interior designer you should invest in a catalogue of the cabinet finishes!) Probably going to reselect the bathroom tiles/cabinet finishes when I can get back to Perth again (and pay the variation fee). We've missed our construction start deadline so it's going to be interesting how this will unfold. Re: Our Build with Broadway Homes 11Dec 17, 2014 9:26 pm Quick update on my build.
Builder's client liaison person said they would provide an update as soon as they know the date the slab is booked in to be poured. I found out 2 days after the slab was poured as I received an invoice for the progress claim. Would have wished to check the slab pre-pour as I am particular about a few things. Re: Our Build with Broadway Homes 12Dec 18, 2014 2:26 am Polaris, I am sure it will be fine. It would more than likely be the same crew that did my pour and they were great. I was worried about it being a very hot day the day after and the foreman said that they had arranged a curing retardant so no watering was required. They used about 40 cubic meters of concrete. BTW my interior design lady was not very helpful, she is no longer there. I am going very neutral and using two pac for my cabinetry. I used an independent lady to help with colours and she basically confirmed what mum and I had selected. Good its underway now...... onward and upward. Cheers Mark of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them. I find it odd that lawyers wouldnt be willing to take on the case, given CCT evidence and… 1 24032 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 18480 3 50293 |
