Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building Simonds Prague in QLD 241Apr 26, 2017 2:20 pm That's what I was thinking... It is not a true expansion joint, they just cut into the bricks and applied some silicon... Also, the expansion joint should be from end to end but there is none for the top brick (they didn't do it because it would have damaged the ceiling) I would be surprised if the certifier considered this as an expansion joint... Re: Building Simonds Prague in QLD 242Apr 26, 2017 4:01 pm And I am annoyed because no one has the balls to tell me whats wrong. They still tell me they will chase the certifier and SS is not replying to my message when last Friday he was too sure that it will happen tomorrow.

I feel so sorry for you horse Re: Building Simonds Prague in QLD 244Apr 27, 2017 8:06 pm Few wins today... Received our occupancy permit, the new tenant of our rental backed out so we get to extend our lease for a few weeks and building manager told SS to fix the bricks...downside is no handover happening this week. Brickwork needs to be fixed first before PCS could happen. SS said it will be next week but I am not hoping anymore. At least I can sleep well tonight after a week of stress. Building Simonds Prague Re: Building Simonds Prague in QLD 245Apr 27, 2017 8:26 pm Ohhh what a relief horse. Congrats on the wins! So glad they are fixing it for you. Fingers crossed for handover next week 🤞🏼 Building the simonds palisade in gippsland Re: Building Simonds Prague in QLD 246Apr 27, 2017 8:31 pm Cassie.f90 Ohhh what a relief horse. Congrats on the wins! So glad they are fixing it for you. Fingers crossed for handover next week 🤞🏼 Thanks cassie. I just wish the brickie would do it properly this time. This is his 4th time already. He was supposed to start the fix today but voila! Hes gone MIA Building Simonds Prague Re: Building Simonds Prague in QLD 247Apr 27, 2017 8:38 pm Can you request someone different do it? Great news though, so glad that they are doing the right thing Re: Building Simonds Prague in QLD 248Apr 27, 2017 9:21 pm Marshall5858 Can you request someone different do it? Great news though, so glad that they are doing the right thing Im not sure marshall. I don't think we can. But i am thankful in a way, at least they are doing the right thing. Who would imagine a small single story home would take 6 months to build. 1 month of that is just PCI to handover. Oh well, i am just so lucky Building Simonds Prague Re: Building Simonds Prague in QLD 250Apr 27, 2017 9:32 pm aloenyx Oh Horse, glad things have improved and taken some of the stress off you. Thanks Dawn. Felt so relieved when i got the message from rental property manager. Good luck on your meeting tomorrow with builder.

Building Simonds Prague Re: Building Simonds Prague in QLD 253May 01, 2017 7:32 am With all the bruhaha last week with builder, its a letdown that nothing has been done on the brickwork. 2 days with nothing. Today being a holiday, i don't think a late this week pcs/handover is possible This is the longest prague build in the history of mankind. When others are doing it in 4 months, ours is now on its 6th... Building Simonds Prague Re: Building Simonds Prague in QLD 254May 01, 2017 7:47 am that's a real shame. Our pci date keeps getting dragged out, it's very frustrating when you have no idea when you can move in and have a rental to juggle Re: Building Simonds Prague in QLD 255May 01, 2017 11:17 pm Marshall5858 :( that's a real shame. Our pci date keeps getting dragged out, it's very frustrating when you have no idea when you can move in and have a rental to juggle It is indeed marshall. I now believe they will stretch this out until the very day they will be in delay. Its now officially 1 month after PCI.
