Re: Aveling Homes Build - Vale S2 Woburn Park, The Vines 124Dec 03, 2014 12:10 pm tmwoburn I've been told all problems have been rectified and am meeting my SS on site on Thursday. So very happy about that. Give credit where it's due once Aveling were made aware of the roofing issues they acted straight away.......thanks to our sales rep Kassy she goes above and beyond for us Good to hear tmwoburn Re: Aveling Homes Build - Vale S2 Woburn Park, The Vines 125Dec 08, 2014 11:29 am Had our site meeting with our SS and he was very helpful. He spent so much time explaining everything and I hope our roofing issues are all sorted. I'll be getting our independent inspector out again later in the build. We do still have one roofing issue outstanding though that I'm really unhappy about.....the living room bulkhead! We have to compromise the look of our living area because the roof drawings were wrong and short of replacing the roof nothing can be done (so I'm told). What's really upsetting is that we actually paid a lot of extra money to change this area and now it's not going to look like I had imagined and more importantly not like the plan we have signed! Re: Aveling Homes Build - Vale S2 Woburn Park, The Vines 126Dec 10, 2014 6:10 pm If you want to deal with all the hassle fight for it! If you signed off the plans on how it should look then they should make sure they build it that way or perhaps they can find a way to compensate you My build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=68002 Re: Aveling Homes Build - Vale S2 Woburn Park, The Vines 127Dec 10, 2014 10:53 pm Yes Burns I agree but unfortunately Aveling do not. I'm very unhappy about it all and don't know why we can't get the house we have paid for. Very unhappy Aveling customer! Aveling Homes Build - Vale S2 Woburn Park, The Vines 128Dec 10, 2014 10:56 pm That makes 2 of us tmwoburn. I'd be speaking to anyone you can to get some compensation or the roof changed to what you want.. I can't believe they sign off on the plans and then change it on you. If it was the other way around they would tell you it can't be changed. Drove by yours today and looks like the roof tiles are going up tomorrow. All the wooden supports for them went up today. To be honest with ours I wish we had never started building. Absolute nightmare! Re: Aveling Homes Build - Vale S2 Woburn Park, The Vines 129Dec 10, 2014 11:06 pm If you are very unhappy don't back down. Speak to a manager and if you still aren't happy speak to the next level up. My DH actually asked to speak to Michael Aveling himself so we could get an issue sorted but of course they wouldn't allow that but it did mean they knew we were serious and that they had to do something. My build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=68002 Re: Aveling Homes Build - Vale S2 Woburn Park, The Vines 131Dec 10, 2014 11:14 pm Never give up .thats what they wont . And remember they have a 6 year workmanship . It drained me to fight for a few things and I even told my builder that I cant be bothered fighting anymore but at the end I got things fixed . Re: Aveling Homes Build - Vale S2 Woburn Park, The Vines 133Dec 12, 2014 12:39 am Not surprisingly Aveling have said they will NOT do the right thing and give us the living room bulkhead we have paid for or offer any form of compensation.
WHAT IS THE POINT IN HAVING APPROVED PLANS AND CONTRACT IF THEY ARE JUST GOING TO BUILD WHAT THEY FEEL LIKE? Aveling Homes Build - Vale S2 Woburn Park, The Vines 134Dec 12, 2014 12:51 am You were at least getting roof tiles up today. http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q548/dsellars1983/Others/3CE6D44B-DE17-4096-ADA3-947BF3FB6B98.jpg http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q548/dsellars1983/Others/ECA74B0D-0628-4FB2-A931-D97CB0CC5BD5.jpg I'd still take that further tmwoburn. Maybe the builders ombudsman or something. Can't remember what they are called! Re: Aveling Homes Build - Vale S2 Woburn Park, The Vines 136Dec 15, 2014 8:12 pm Looks like the sand has been delivered for your grey float and also your capping has been installed today on your roof. Looks really great.. Give it a week you will have overtaken our build. We still haven't had anything done calling the construction manager tomorrow! Re: Aveling Homes Build - Vale S2 Woburn Park, The Vines 137Dec 16, 2014 2:59 pm Thanks dsellars. I think tradies, builders and anyone associated with new builds have had a bumper year this year and made a lot of money so probably are already in xmas holiday mode! I'd be surprised if anything more happens at our houses this week......but I'd be happy to be proven wrong! Re: Aveling Homes Build - Vale S2 Woburn Park, The Vines 138Dec 23, 2014 7:35 pm It would appear that your grey float has been applied today Didn't take pictures though. Re: Aveling Homes Build - Vale S2 Woburn Park, The Vines 139Jan 31, 2015 12:09 pm Hi all. I just read the posts about the roof problems. Frankly as consumers we have powerful rights under the Australian Consumer Law. the Dept of Commerce. The building commission has strict rules and penalties Re: Aveling Homes Build - Vale S2 Woburn Park, The Vines 140Feb 04, 2015 9:47 am Your ceilings were going in yesterday and the plasterers was applied to the front of your house. The white set is finished too, think you knew this already though. Coming along nicely. 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 17609 3 48393 |
