Looking forward to see it all furnished, I won't be able to tell if it's ur place or the display home. Lol. Re: My Metricon Bordeaux 56 build 655Apr 30, 2017 5:51 pm That was a very helpful post Vuster! We are trying to get all our issues resolved now before we reach presentation but I'm sure like you there will be many more. So glad to hear you will have keys soon!

I thought that pci meant house finished and ready to be lived in (as you wanted it) and you the owner does a inspection to ascertain everything is to your satisfaction. And from what have read, you have a lot of cabinetry work.! Congrats on getting this far..but personally in a year (or so) time when it is my turn I am not moving in until everything is done in my place. I am not going to be chasing them around trying to get things done that were supposed to have been done months earlier. An example is the insulation at your place that should have been taken care of at the start of the build. And if you did not mention it you would have no insulation for those places. Insulation you have payed for! After all it is not that you crunched them on their asking price for the house build. You paid what they asked for and you expect the items to be complete as paid for. It seems that we the building consumer has let the half done job become the norm rather than the exception. Finishing my rant... your house looks great. A jewel in your street. Re: My Metricon Bordeaux 56 build 659May 01, 2017 10:27 pm Thanks everyone for the comments. Stanus, you're right. The house is meant to be complete and I don't think what my supervisor is doing is the norm. I've had a friend who had to wait 3 months for her house to be finished after the PCI.I'll be monitoring the progress over the next couple of weeks to see if the home is in a condition that I'll accept handover. This does not mean they won't fix any outstanding issues, it's just that they'll have to continue doing it after I move in. The bulk of the cabinetry is done, it's just the defects and some missing infill panels. My understanding is that the Cabinetry business can't keep up with all the demand atm.I would hope that the major defects are fixed before handover. I don't think I have that many major things that would be hard to fix so I will make a decision when the time comes. I still have to receive my Occupancy Certificate as well. If I had to wait 2 months that'll cost me an extra $5k in rent and also drive me nuts knowing that a house is sitting there waiting for me to occupy. I went to the house today and played with all the lighting and also did another inspection to see if I missed any defects. I found a few more and just ripped some blue tape from existing ones and stuck them on. I took a photo of every room so that I have a record of all the areas that are marked as defects. I'll cross reference them to ensure they've fixed it late. My fancy pancy electric overheard doors are working now. Here's a video I took: Here's some more photos: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Hi, First of all, thank you to this community for sharing your thoughts and opinions.
