Our build with SM is going to start shortly, so interested to see how the process is going for you! Looks like we have chosen similar colour schemes as well Re: Our build with Stylemaster homes 14Nov 20, 2014 4:48 pm So Ive been completely hopeless with keeping this updated, everything has been so hectic!!! We are SOOOOO close to being finished I can taste it! Site supervisor has said handover will be the last week before Christmas so cutting it very fine. Havent got a set date yet but he said he will get us one by the end of the week! Which means max 4 weeks til handover OMG!!!! We're pretty lucky actually there hasn't been any major issues, everything seems to have gone pretty smoothly which is what we were hoping for! At this point we are only waiting for Painting, Carpet, electrical & plumbing & appliances & aircon... I think that's it lol. Then we are getting the solar & landscaping & concreting (patio & driveway & shed slab) done externally which will prob have us move only a few days before Christmas haha. Hubby & I are having a disagreement on what to do about handover though. The issue is, if there are any problems with the house & we don't want to do handover til they are fixed we need to delay it til next year. And I really wanted my house as my Christmas present lol So ive said to hubby, if they are only minor to do handover anyway and get them to fix them once we're moved in. I know people say not to handover til ur 150% happy but I really really want to move in! They have to fix it eventually don't they??? Plus we cant afford to keep paying 95% of our mortgage & our rent!!! Im just hoping there are no issues and we don't have to talk about it haha. Anyway photos.....

Handover?? Pics?? Re: Our build with Stylemaster homes 17Dec 23, 2014 5:19 pm We have keys!!!!!!! I'm a bit slow as it was last Friday but gosh things have been hectic. I'll put pics up a bit later but I just wanted to come on and ask, does anyone know what the responsibility of the cabinet maker is when it comes to the holes in the cabinet for the cords etc for the washing machine??? We have a front lower which goes under the bench, and the taps and power point is is the cupboard but there's no holes to put it thru!!! Of course being so close to Christmas stylemaster closed the day we had handover and we didn't realise til we tried to put our washing machine in. We were going to put holes ourselves and then wondered if there would be an issue if we did it ourself? We can't use our washing machine!!!

Congrats, sooooo exciting - can't wait to see pics!! You would think the cabinet holes would be pretty standard... Do you have your SS mobile no. to send him a quick message about it? Please let me know how you go, because we will probably have the same issue... I wouldn't see a problem with you making your own holes, it just wouldn't be covered under any warranty if something went wrong I guess, and depends whether you have the proper equipment to do a nice job of it that you will be happy with? Re: Our build with Stylemaster homes 19Dec 23, 2014 8:52 pm I do but I wasn't sure if he would respond given that he's now on leave til 19th Jan. We were going to buy all the tools for it but it wasn't going to be cheap and I figured we prob wouldn't use them again so if it was supposed to be done by them we should get it done for free. Just means the washing machine will have to sit in front of the cupboard to work!!! I just wasn't sure if it was supposed to be included Our first home: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=72839 Re: Our build with Stylemaster homes 20Dec 23, 2014 10:00 pm firstbuild14 I do but I wasn't sure if he would respond given that he's now on leave til 19th Jan.

Just means the washing machine will have to sit in front of the cupboard to work!!! I just wasn't sure if it was supposed to be included Definitely preferable to get them to sort it if they should... Maybe late morning tomorrow send him a "sorry to bother you..." and just explain you just quickly want to confirm it is their responsibility to sort after the break, as you don't want to wait the several weeks only to find out it is something you have to do yourself? If he is a nice enough guy he shouldn't mind of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them. I find it odd that lawyers wouldnt be willing to take on the case, given CCT evidence and… 1 23784 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17617 3 48400 |
