Browse Forums Building A New House Re: KDR Sekisui House - St George 1282Mar 22, 2018 10:13 am k3nnis Hi shazaw, Mine was under Kogarah council when I did mine but via CDC. You could not go via cdc when you started? Is Burbank the same as sekisui? Sekisui was taken over by Burbank Mid 2016. We were under Hurstville council at that time ( 2014 ). Due to house plans - floor space ratio we had to apply DA with council. We also had outdoor living area which needed to be approved by council but stormwater easement was a major problem dragged on by council.

You should checked out with Electrician. Build Thread : viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81624 Re: KDR Sekisui House - St George 1288Mar 22, 2018 2:13 pm Ok we have received an email yesterday for final Variation. Three different items, Yes we can agree with 2 items but 1 item should not be charged at all. Also they are given us a hint on PCI. They wants to push PCI early knowing there are so many outstanding jobs to be complete. I have listed outstanding items on page 63 of H1. I'm willing to work with them... Knowing some of these items are in the pipeline just a matter of tradies coming to do the job. These are items to be complete before PCI.... I wants all your opinions. Rainwater tank + pump + Storm water connection Electrical meter box change 3 phase Fly screen to all window Aircon unit Solar panels connection Gas meter unit connection Hot water system main house and outdoor living area Missing tap and sink for outdoor living area + missing laundry tap Broken windows Balcony The list below after PCI Kitchen cooktop, oven, rangehood, water filter. Ceiling fans Skydome Electrical fit out painting touch up Pillars to finish Cover gap between window base and bricks Batts on ceiling to spread out Door handles for sliding doors between guest and study room Privacy locks for 5 bedrooms Silicon to all wet areas and kitchen Dead locks for garage doors. Soft close drawer for main bathroom Alright everyone tell me which items should I move under the list of "Before PCI". AND thank you.

Good news about the toilets!!! massive difference between the ones installed and the wall faced dorado Move before PCI... I think Skydome Electrical fit out - Depends what... can't have wires sticking out. Pillars to finish - If drainage or waterproof related Cover gap between window base and bricks Batts on ceiling to spread out Silicon to all wet areas and kitchen Dead locks for garage doors Soft close drawer for main bathroom - not fair to be fixed after PCI. it was their ordering error.

Re: KDR Sekisui House - St George 1295Mar 22, 2018 7:19 pm ehhc So those upgrade packages, is that $4,990 each package or for everything you listed? That’s the whole thing, sometimes you have to make choices within the package but Sekisui were pretty good and gave a lot within theirs. We paid $2990 for the infinity that included fully ducted aircon with 3 zones (we paid for a 4th) and a heap of upgrades. we were meant to get a $500 meyers gift card on completion but a few months ago they gave us $500 in lieu of the gift card. Re: KDR Sekisui House - St George 1296Mar 22, 2018 7:43 pm That’s crazy!! $500 cash sounds good! None of those promotions existed anymore when we signed. I’m on the same package as Bec and it’s no where near as good. wonder how their place is going. No updates to their thread.

We took up "Essence inclusion" I believe most of these are now changed to standard inclusions.

Two guys came to spread out insulation batts on the ceiling and extra one pack was needed. Just as well they had some ceiling batts in the truck. They better do more work next week.

I'm going to do extra cleaning at the back. Pick up as much rubbish I can to the front. Definitely a good idea. You might also suggest to the SS that any road base spread on the site during construction is the builders rubbish and must be excavated. I stupidly missed that fact and paid 1500 to get rid of my lot. We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard house before… 8 37142 The biggest challenge will be if you take out a loan and then run out of money - you'll have an incomplete security and lenders do not like this so you can get stuck.… 2 19096 Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes.
