The sales, contract and pre-start stages were not great but what's been the most frustrating part is the actual construction. The Switch contract for my 2-storey house stipulates 375 working days which works out to about 18 calendar months. We are now 15 months into construction and we haven't even reached lock up. We have not caused Switch any delays. They have not given us any good reasons for the delay and even at this late stage have not committed to a handover date. There have been weeks where little or no work takes place on site. We've had to endure month after month of frustration and effectively put our lives on hold. All the evidence points to Switch not being able to build 2-storey houses in a timely manner. And I haven't even started on the design/construction mistakes we've suffered at their hands. I will get down to writing a detailed description of our entire ordeal with Switch but in the meantime I hope this helps. ps. 2 other cons to let you know about is that Switch charges a $750 variation fee and they take a 3 week year end break when nothing whatsoever gets done in either the office or on site. Oh my goodness this sounds exactly like our experience. Nice to know it's not just us but seems it's obviously a systemic issue and poor management. Any electricians here please help. 1) Will the Fan need separate switch to ON/OFF/Speed eventhough it comes with Remote 2) how about… 0 1212 I haven’t. But have a Lowe Design home.
