Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Suffolk Park - Aussie Living - PCI Completed 461Nov 19, 2015 6:11 pm Didn't go too bad, mostly smaller issues like chips in walls, cracked or poorly done cornices etc. Few other things that are a bit more obviously like the white set not done on the theater window yet which in turn needs the blinds put on (blind guy rocked up as the inspector was doing his thing), none of the vents have been flumed, the piping is there but not connected, cracked render outside and a few holes that need patching in the grouting between bricks and a bit of flashing down the side of the garage zero lot wall that hasn't been painted. I'm sure there were a few other small things but nothing that the commissioner can't do in a day or so. We're meant to have 10 working days until keys, so hoping to keep to that schedule. Supervisor said definitely in by Christmas but we've handed in our rental notice now and booking dates for deliveries so lets hope we're running on time! Re: Suffolk Park - Aussie Living - PCI Completed 462Nov 19, 2015 6:13 pm Oh wow kron I'm so glad it went well and that your list is relatively minor things!! Congratulations how exciting! Re: Suffolk Park - Aussie Living - PCI Completed 463Nov 19, 2015 6:17 pm Thanks Mal, yeah quite happy it isn't all doom and gloom and everything should run on track as soon as they receive the building inspectors report. Oh, still need flyscreens and one side of the house had the power isolated for some reason - that or there's a fault somewhere but the electrician still needs to come back so that should be fixed. I forgot to bring a light globe, so hoping all the light points work!

Re: Suffolk Park - Aussie Living - PCI Completed 466Nov 23, 2015 8:30 am did you find much on your pci ??? nice one in before xmas Re: Suffolk Park - Aussie Living - PCI Completed 467Nov 23, 2015 9:00 am zerocool 0 did you find much on your pci ??? nice one in before xmas We found a few things, but I 100000% recommend a building inspector, we used Jims building Inspector and had Brian from Yokine I think it was attend ours. Cost $380 but what he says, has to be done and he knows everything to look for. If there's smaller things there that he doesnt pick up on but you know about it, you tell him and he takes a pic and adds it to the list. The amount of things he noted down, small things or building regulation things that we would not have even considered is amazing, so yeah highly advise getting one if you hadn't planned to yet! Re: Suffolk Park - Aussie Living - Keys 4 Dec! 468Nov 27, 2015 7:15 pm Glad things are getting looked at by the building inspector - we have our PCU next Tue. I dread to think what he will find as I ( unqualified !!) picked up and emailed them over a dozen problems needing to be fixed - including that they'd put the retaining wall in the wrong place. OMG our build has been a nightmare - I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

OMG our build has been a nightmare - I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Sorry to hear about your dramas! Yeah I picked up on heaps of things before the PCI, so a lot of it was fixed before then and only the minor things were left. How do they put a retaining wall in the wrong place though?! I actually think my block should have had a retaining wall all around it, as it's elevated to the block on the right and the corner on the left. Would have made my landscaping a billion times easier! Re: Suffolk Park - Aussie Living - Keys 4 Dec! 470Nov 30, 2015 2:47 am You could probably add your own retaining if you wanted to I think? Re: Suffolk Park - Aussie Living - Keys 4 Dec! 471Nov 30, 2015 8:03 am Yeah I could definitely install one, would have been nice if the builder did it though and the fence was installed on top of the wall Re: Suffolk Park - Aussie Living - Keys 4 Dec! 472Nov 30, 2015 8:51 pm Re: Suffolk Park - Aussie Living - Keys 4 Dec! 476Dec 01, 2015 9:09 pm Front room blinds installed today now all thats left are flyscreens, paint touch ups and the front door needs some padding and seals put on to stop vibrating.

Re: Suffolk Park - Aussie Living - Keys 4 Dec! 477Dec 01, 2015 9:27 pm Not too far away at all... bet your counting down the days! Very exciting... your home has gone up so quickly Re: Suffolk Park - Aussie Living - Keys 4 Dec! 479Dec 01, 2015 10:11 pm Oh definitely counting. I might not go there now until I get keys, so I don't cause myself to panic if something hasn't been done yet. Just trust that the builder will have it all completed for me when I go for final inspection Re: Suffolk Park - Aussie Living - Keys 4 Dec! 480Dec 03, 2015 7:31 pm So keys tomorrow, thought I'd go past today just to see if it was all done, that way if it wasn't then I wouldn't be disappointed tomorrow. Well nothing has been done for about a week now. Still no flyscreens, painting needing to be done, render fixed, house cleaned inside and out, front door fixed etc. So unless they miraculously do it over night or before 9am tomorrow morning, I think we're going to be angry. We want to start painting tomorrow, but the house is still filthy and there's walls that need patching. Not a happy camper atm I would be wary. Is you site demilished but nothing else done? Sounds like liquidity problems to me. Our builder did the same. Got hundreds of thousands of dollars of… 2 15401 3 5589 |
