Our brick stage was very slow. We have been given a PCI estimate end of Aug. We are building in Harrington Grove. I’m starting count from the day the site was excavated.[/quote]What size house? My frames were really slow, bout 7 or so weeks delayed but they have picked up since then and bricks for me was pretty quick. Theyve just going to finish off the lower roof and then internals.

We had an inspection this week to check all our rough ins for electrical and AC. It was really nice just to meet our SS to be honest. We picked up a few power points in the wrong spot which have been fixed up since. The electrician only had a print out of the electrical plan so some of the measurements of above/inside vanity for the bathrooms weren’t readable unlike on the electronic PDF. Everything on site is looking good although I failed to get many interesting photos because I was too busy trying to document where all my wires were running! Our lower roof is in at the back, although we’re still missing the garage part of the lower roof. Kitchen bulkheads have also gone in Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ And our stacker doors are in place...lockup is coming!

Building Wisdom Aspiration 31 at Willowdale https://ourwillowdalehome.wordpress.com/ Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 11411Jul 03, 2018 8:31 am rugu Hi Mark, We have emailed you Two separate emails and havebt got response till now. We have got handover with delay of 6 months post contract signing due of number of errors made by Wisdom Homes ( already listed in email) and after handover, we see the electrical wiring is done against our signed plan due to which we cant do the electrical finish the way we wanted. When we are our SS to fix it we are asked to pay $350 for it. I had emailed you (written separate email for this) regarding this after our SS clearly mentioned that he cant do anything unless we pay or escalate higher management, however havent heard from you or anyone. Is that the way Wisdom Homes treat their customers post handover? Can we expect this electrical issue to be resolved Asap for us? Thanks Ruchica WisdomHomes NET PROMOTER SCORE SURVEYS In response to lombieagle's question, Wisdom implemented Net Promoter Score (NPS) Surveys in July 2017. We email a survey request to all Customers at 4 stages:
All survey responses (Promoters, Passives & Detractors) are emailed directly to our senior Management team. All Detractor survey responses receive a follow up phone call from our Customer Relationship Specialist (CRS) to discuss and clarify the feedback provided, and to resolve any outstanding issues. Our Heads of Sales, Operations and Construction, plus our Customer Service Manager and CSR, along with myself, meet every Friday morning to review the survey feedback for that week to identify any opportunities to improve our systems and processes. If you signed your Contract with Wisdom prior to July 2017, then you will receive your first email survey at the next key event listed above. If you believe that you have passed one of these events since July 2017 and not received a survey request (but would like the opportunity), then please PM me your email address so that I can check our records and ensure that you receive a survey request ASAP. Regards, Mark Scully General Manager 1300 855 775 Hi Ruchica, Your email has been shared & reviewed internally and I am aware the matter was discussed with you by your SS yesterday. You will receive a call from Craig, our Head of Construction today regarding this matter. Regards, Mark Live Your Way Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 11412Jul 03, 2018 10:22 am Chinoandbebe becks81 Re : electrical consult. If we want downlight provisions and outdoor flood light provisions, what exactly do they do and what will we need to purchase on our end? We will probably get WH to install some of our lighting but not all of it. And what is the consensus about downlights in bedrooms? We got the provisions & then I purchased the exact same downlights from an on-line store for $18.70ea!!! We just plugged them all in on the weekend & they are perfect! SO easy to do... Can I ask what store Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 11413Jul 03, 2018 10:52 am Hello everyone, i just wanted to ask. When do we receive working drawings? The only house plans i have is the one given to me at Tender Presentation. I have not received anything else. We have signed off on everything (Colours, Kitchen, Flooring etc). We finalised everything end of May, wondering if it is time to chase it up with my CSR? TIA!

Would love to know your feedback from experience? I am trying to know the best one that will serve both comfort and aesthetics. Options: 1. Roller blind: -Single layer: (light filtering? block out?) -Double layer: light filtering+ block out 2. Vertical Blind 3. Horizontal Blind 4. Plantation Shutter 5. Cellular blind or Honey comb blind 6. Curtain Single layer: - Sheer - Light filtering (Uncoated/ No lining) - Block out Double Layer: - Sheer+ Block out - Sheer+ light filtering (Uncoated/ No lining) - Light filtering+ block out I personally don't prefer a complete block out option. I love the filtered light in the space. However, I will possibly put block out or heavy furnishing options in the west windows to block the summer heat as much as possible. I have never used roller blinds but the look and texture option of roller blind is convincing me. Timber shutter is something I like for its look but what I don't like is it is not easy to completely open up the window. Few windows which are not meant to be open can have timber plantation. Again it will be for my desire to get its look. Will really like people's insight on the pros and cons. Thanks in advance.
