Hope bricks have started Thanks for checking in. We are still waiting on bricks. The lack of updates is due to them not doing any work for two months!!! Re: JG King Hartwell - Melbourne western suburbs 223Aug 19, 2016 5:03 pm Ah that sucks. Hopefully soon Our Build Thread - JG king Memphis Re: JG King Hartwell - Melbourne western suburbs 226Aug 19, 2016 11:22 pm We didn't have any problem with brickies, but the time to complete after lock up was farcical. JG King have some serious issues with their trade/supplier management and internal processes. Re: JG King Hartwell - Melbourne western suburbs 228Aug 26, 2016 8:18 pm Thanks for the support guys. We had some very minor progress earlier this week which is better. Still waiting on a bricklayer - it's been three months. It's very disappointing as we had hoped to be living in our house in June (and this was clearly communicated to JG King). We are obviously nowhere near it. Needless to say, we are officially the house in the neighbourhood that everyone looks at and says "I'm glad I'm not that person" and "I'm glad we didn't build with that builder". Re: JG King Hartwell - Melbourne western suburbs 229Aug 26, 2016 8:54 pm Some progress is better then none hopefully it is the start of the ball rolling again. Our Build Thread - JG king Memphis Re: JG King Hartwell - Melbourne western suburbs 230Aug 26, 2016 10:02 pm We are all riding this rollercoaster of house building and understand the highs and lows you are going through. Were all here to support you and hopefully make your expierence a bit better. Glad to hear you've had some small progress, hopefully they find some brickies asap 3 months is ridiculous. Good luck and try to remain positive xx Re: JG King Hartwell - Melbourne western suburbs 235Sep 05, 2016 8:09 pm We were waiting 2 months for bricks too, it really surprises me the lack of brickies they have. When we did get brickies they did a great job and talking to them they said kings rate was lower then others so you can understand why they struggle. Our Build Thread - JG king Memphis Re: JG King Hartwell - Melbourne western suburbs 236Sep 08, 2016 12:25 pm Our supervisor had been holding off on the inside until the house was bricked, but due to the wait, it has become evident that internal work needs to be progressed otherwise we will be waiting a very long time for our new home. This all means that this week we have finally had some progress (in the form of the fix)! I guess that brings with it a whole another set of "facepalm" moments. Our butlers pantry is an internal room with no windows or doors. To counter that, we decided to upgrade the door between the laundry and the butlers pantry so that it was a clear glazed glass door. We briefly visited the property yesterday and noted (from outside) that the wrong door had been installed in the laundry. We reinspected the plans and realised that they had put the upgraded door in the plans as the door to the main bedroom. This is mortifying! They actually thought that we wanted a clear glazed glass door for our bedroom! Isn't the whole point of a door on the bedroom for privacy hahaha? Thankfully, the clear glass door was not installed in the bedroom. It appears it's been entirely forgotten about. We have written evidence of the intention of the door to be on the laundry, so we aren't concerned about getting them to fix it. But wow! Absolutely incredible.

Seems we've both had some issues along the way...oh the joys! It's going to be worth it though! Re: JG King Hartwell - Melbourne western suburbs 238Sep 08, 2016 8:42 pm Lol at least you've vot some progress, hope they fix it up quickly.
