They will probably do it as it’s not adding something new just slightly moving it Thank you!! Will do that! Last week we got a call from Electrical Consultant that the pendants we have in ensuite is non compliant as not allowed pendants near shower. Anyway had to change to batten holders instead and got a Building Variation for it Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 14164Feb 16, 2019 3:06 pm [quote="Kvav27"]Hi All, We are very close to PCI since December 15th, 2018. My SS has been very good in giving updates every weekend. But since after the holidays when only a couple of things look to be remaining, i see weeks of no activity, Since18 Jan 2019, i see my house dragging with no big change. Our understanding is only below items are remaining and they are still not done: -Splash-back - Finishings touches - House Cleaning I am not a builder and might not know great deal, but all this is making me unsettled. As first time builders we did not see during contract signing what was the number of days Wisdom needs to inform us about PCI. It seems its only 6 days. so they said they have to only inform us 6 days before PCI. We also did not see how much fine they would pay for every day of delay (which i think was left at default which is $15). Also I have one more concern, We had 2 linear air con vents in living area. While all the rest of vents are done, this is not. And I am worried why not. Did any one had this kind of experience. Also My SS who was giving me exact updates seems to be giving me very tentative words like near PCI and no exact dates. It seems we are just put on hold while Wisdom is finishing other projects or working on new ones. This is making my Wisdom experience really very bad. Hi Kvav27 We also got delayed in terms of handover. Especially because the handover dint happen before Christmas and then there was 3 weeks of no activity. Followed by very little. Finally we got our keys 2 days back when ideally we were expecting it jan mid. Keep pushing for the updates and escalate to your area manager if required Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 14165Feb 16, 2019 6:22 pm M4bath For those who are in the north ryde area, any recommendation for an arborist? Got 1 tree that needs a report whether we can remove it. Thanks! Bradshaw Trees. Highly recommended Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 14166Feb 17, 2019 10:44 am Hi, We received an email from CQ during the week saying that our sparky has asked to move the light switch at the base of the stairs either to the study wall or around the corner behind the wall. Neither of which is desirable. Has anyone else encountered this? What heights are the light switches normally at? As the handrail is about 1000mm the switch should be able to be above this about 1300mm?

They have said the handrail is in the way. Study is room across from the base of the stairs. Really want it in the most practical spot. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 14169Feb 17, 2019 9:30 pm Priyasuresh11 Hi guys, May I know where the ac outlet was made for you in the dining? We build Majestic 35. They have made the outlet in the walkway and didn’t even let us know about it and we too didn’t notice too.But in the Aircon plan it is in the dining closer to the window. The ultra air technicians are saying different reasons. Someone please reply. We got keys on 12th Dec. Thanks We have one too and that's likely the sitting directly under your bath tub. It's to access the plumbing from under the bathtub Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 14170Feb 17, 2019 9:37 pm doosra Priyasuresh11 Hi guys, May I know where the ac outlet was made for you in the dining?

Instead they put in the walkway. So no airflow in dining.

Am happy with tiling and kitchen. But am very dissapointed with the doors windows and external finishes. Especially the grout and area between bricks and doors and windows is not sealed off neatly. This kind of finishing is not expected from apremium builder like Wisdom. Do any of you have any issues like this.

If something is prohibitive to install in Dining they should have installed a linear one in the dropped ceiling. Yeah. I checked the plans. It is supposed to be closer to the dining window. Ultra air says there is L shaped beam around the room. But I can see the beam runs through the living room. But I am not sure how did they manage to put there!!
