I didn't have a second meeting, I just went straight to handover as everything had already been recorded. (I didn't even have a garage door at handover!!) It was put on the next day though and everything else got fixed gradually, but only due to the holidays. even now I still call my SS if I have a problem. Lol. Good luck!! Re: Kelsey78’s Home in Honeywood DAH Build-PCI WEEK 614Mar 04, 2015 11:00 pm Oh so close Kelsey. I bet you can't wait to get those keys. I don't want to say it, but If i was in your shoes, I'd be delaying PCI until those items were completed. If you read the fine print in the contract, you actually are required to pay the final installment within 10 days of attending the PCI meeting. Ive also seen this happen for a relative of mine building with DA very recently and it wasn't the smoothest of processes. I think they had almost 6 weeks between PCI and final handover. There were extenuating circumstances to this delay (Christmas/trade availability and others), but the house just wasn't ready for PCI at that date. Re: Kelsey78’s Home in Honeywood DAH Build-PCI WEEK 615Mar 05, 2015 1:08 pm Amazing Kelsey, what a progress! Hope the rest of the things get sorted out without problem! My first build journey here https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=71028 Re: Kelsey78’s Home in Honeywood DAH Build-PCI WEEK 616Mar 05, 2015 5:11 pm Stick to your guns, SS response sounds like a poor attempt to blame incorrect installation on something that is still not your problem. Since you have had the builder do the flooring they should of prepped the whole job to be able to accept wooden flooring. For what you paid I wouldn't be accepting anything but perfection. Re: Kelsey78’s Home in Honeywood DAH Build-PCI WEEK 617Mar 05, 2015 9:05 pm Thanks Everyone for your feedback it has been super helpful in the lead up to PCI. We will still be having PCI tomorrow, as nervous as I am our CLO has assured us that the work will be completed in the 10 working days and if we aren't happy with the finishes they will be rectified. We haven't been on site today so we hoping there may be a few more surprises which will be nice to see. Thanks again for all your feedback on the flooring. You have all given me the confidence to fight a lot harder to make sure it's done the way we want it. We chose Dales for the connivence of getting a move in ready home but we still expect the quality of a professional flooring company, especially since it costed more than other quotes we got! In regard to handover, we will defiantly be getting a bank check and regardless of the 10 working days Dale Alcock will not be getting it unless all the work has been completed to our standard! Any PCI advice?

I hope it all goes well for you. Glad to see your staying positive. Dales have a reputation to uphold so I would hope they do the right thing by you! I feel like the same thing might happen with my place with work being done after PCI so It's good to hear everyone's advice on here for my reference too!! Good luck tomorrow, hope everything runs smoothly and your SS is in a good mood!! Lol xx Building our first home - https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=73568 Thank you so much everyone.
