Browse Forums Building A New House Re: custom home group WA home - PCI!! 421May 02, 2015 1:50 pm We asked for junction boxes as we wanted to do our own lights after handover but they said they no longer do that so we had to put one light in each room. Re: custom home group WA home - PCI!! 422May 02, 2015 2:46 pm asha Yep Natalie, we had junction boxes in the majority of the house. Was easier than having to patch the ceiling later on. Thanks asha I'm trying to get them to remove some of them let's hope they just say yes! Re: custom home group WA home - PCI!! 423May 02, 2015 7:37 pm Oh Auds ... I saw PCI in the heading and rushed over to check out what had been happening. How disappointing for you ... but as others have said, hopefully they have got the house to a point where you can get keys almost straight away. Fingers crossed for you! Re: custom home group WA home - PCI!! 424May 03, 2015 1:57 am Natalie92 Hey guys does anyone know if we have a leg to stand on, went to pre start and got told they won't be using colourbond for the roof and they now have a new brand called unicote (imported!) We signed all the other documents saying we would have colourbond included! Do u think we can argue against having the colourbond instead?? Unicote is also manufactured in WA, do a quick google on it for more info. Although I would still prefer the colorbond product, so stick to your guns. Colorbond is still available in the market ( of course) so just because they don't want to use it isn't a valid reason not to honour the signed contract. Re: custom home group WA home - PCI!! 425May 03, 2015 11:14 pm Bugger auds! Still, only a week away, so not too long to go. Natalie92 What are PPA Docs? PPA = Preparation of Plans Agreement Re: custom home group WA home - PCI!! 426May 04, 2015 12:27 am Natalie92 Hey guys does anyone know if we have a leg to stand on, went to pre start and got told they won't be using colourbond for the roof and they now have a new brand called unicote (imported!) We signed all the other documents saying we would have colourbond included! Do u think we can argue against having the colourbond instead?? I agree with Decka, if that's what's in your signed specifications they can't back out, that's the whole point of signing a contract with specifications!!!! Cheeky otherwise if it just said tin roof it would be another story Re: custom home group WA home - PCI!! 427May 05, 2015 11:34 am definitely - I would be insisting on colourbond Re: custom home group WA home - PCI!! 430May 05, 2015 10:38 pm We have the acrylic render. Exact same colour. Looks great Re: custom home group WA home - PCI!! 431May 05, 2015 11:14 pm auds We have the acrylic render. Exact same colour. Looks great Great thanks auds, I thought it would be a lot more expensive so it's great it's not to bad! One thing I can't get over is the price for gloss cupboards! The price on upgrading the front door design and the price on the outdoor gas point! Also going to have to change my back bathroom! They want nearly $1000 to lay the hexagon mosaic feature strip :(:( Re: custom home group WA home - PCI!! 433May 06, 2015 6:46 pm Mainly touch ups with paint etc to be finished but hoping for keys next friday woohoo Re: custom home group WA home - PCI!! 435May 06, 2015 9:08 pm auds Mainly touch ups with paint etc to be finished but hoping for keys next friday woohoo Awesome auds!
