Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Coral homes - Stradbroke 29 NSW 101Jan 20, 2016 9:40 pm Hey Jessie and daz, thanks for the support. When did you start jessie I thought you would have been ahead of frame stage! It is dissappointing but we've just rolled with the punches rather than let it get to us, which it easily could. Latest so far is that I have had to send them photos that I took myself at frame stage to see if I have captured whatever it is they are looking for. If not, they will have to tear walls down, so waiting to hear what their decision is. Could potentially be in for a long ride yet! Re: Coral homes - Stradbroke 29 NSW 102Jan 21, 2016 8:59 am Oh my god. You guys are amazing. I would be absolutely having a mental. Can't believe they're relying on photos from you!! Re: Coral homes - Stradbroke 29 NSW 103Jan 21, 2016 9:13 am Oh my goodness Murray, that is ridiculous! I know what you mean about rolling with the punches, we have found this whole process to be so inefficient, the dramas start to become an expectation but this is truly a whole new level of stupid! We started November 17 but they only did the slab and then closed down for Christmas. They didn't come back until the end of last week but seem to move quickly when they are there. Of course they sent us an extension of the contract for Christmas shut-down....you'd think that would be built in to the expected completion date really....anyway we are pretty zen about it all. We are homeless at the end of February (as our lease is not being renewed) so will just move around to holiday rentals and spare bedrooms until its complete! This process definitely strengthens your patience! I hope you get some joy soon and get to enjoy your beautiful home! Re: Coral homes - Stradbroke 29 NSW 105Jan 29, 2016 3:07 pm Yes! We got our occupation certificate yesterday! Now awaiting on the bank to release the cheque, they reckon within 48 hours so we are hoping to be in tuesday afternoon at the latest. Great to see your house is progressing again daz! Re: Coral homes - Stradbroke 29 NSW 106Jan 29, 2016 3:53 pm Woohoo!! That's amazing, can hardly believe it! Congratulations, looking foward to Tuesday nearly as much as you must be haha!!! Photos or I'll cry. Thanks - so desperate to be finished like you guys will be soon! Re: Coral homes - Stradbroke 29 NSW 107Jan 29, 2016 7:38 pm Thanks daz, if you're excited for me imagine how excited you will be when your time comes! I will definitely post photos, I myself haven't even seen the house cleaned! You will be finished in no time and I will be sticking around to read your posts til the end Re: Coral homes - Stradbroke 29 NSW 111Feb 13, 2016 8:02 pm Yes! we got the keys on February 1, never thought that day would come! Still things to be rectified by coral eg we cant use the stovetop until we are certain it has been converted to lpg, nobody can tell us anything - im utilizing the microwave like never before!! Its great to have most of it all behind us though. Did I read you did your pci? Sorry havent had a chance to read your thread as nbn not set up and data on phone is low. Hope handover is soon for you!! Re: Coral homes - Stradbroke 29 NSW 112Feb 14, 2016 10:22 am Ah such great news, so happy for you guys! I'm confused about your stovetop though - we have lpg too and all the pipework etc. has been done by Coral. Should I be worried? Re: Coral homes - Stradbroke 29 NSW 113Jun 20, 2016 12:35 pm We are still waiting on about 4 items that coral haven't done, including screens on all our doors, which was a bush fire requirement, hope it gets sorted soon, been over 6 months since we moved in !
