Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 09, 2014 10:31 pm What do you guys think of the workmanship here? Stated earlier about these issues but they went ahead and did the tiling anyway. Probably not the builders fault but the cabinetmaker/installer seems to not take too much pride in their work. Kitchen bench with 8mm gap between cabinet/kickboard & waterfall edge Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ other side showing smaller gap (either bench or stone is out of square so gap is smaller on one side) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Ensuite vanity with plinth incorrectly cut to size and now tiled around Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ this is the main bath vanity which looks ok. Also why they couldn't fill in with more tiles is beyond me, there were lots left over.

Its hard to get a good idea of quality until its all cleaned up and finished but Id make a bigger fuss about it before it really is too late Re: cabinet issues? 3Jun 10, 2014 5:53 pm The kitchen issue is the stone is too long on top and hence the gap. They should have evened it up at least so the gap was same both ends. Definately looks to big to simply gap up, I'd be asking them to fix it. As for the bathroom, thats the project home thing. Follow the plan get in get out get paid. Re: cabinet issues? 4Jun 10, 2014 7:35 pm thanks guys, CSO again was very helpful when I emailed pics and said the vanity would be rectified. She was amazed too that it was done like this. Still awaiting kitchen bench resolution, can the waterfall edge be removed and the top ground back to make it fit properly? Re: cabinet issues? 5Jun 10, 2014 8:18 pm I have read your post and I think you are find out a basic fault in such cabins. Such issues are also found when we make transportable homes or relocatable cabins. So, I still searching for best solution. Do you have? I am looking at building a house. Has anyone used Construkt Homes (based in Adelaide)? Does anyone have experience with this builder? 0 6450 12 5320 |
