That's a lot of keys for one house! Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - 1 DAY TO GO! 2055Aug 11, 2017 4:50 pm Congrats! Place is looking great. Think your builder had better cleaners than mine Our build thread with Smart Homes for Living in Wellard https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=86092 Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - 1 DAY TO GO! 2056Aug 11, 2017 4:59 pm The inside has been cleaned really well, but the outside basically hasn't been cleaned and they have to come back. I'm going to go put comments on the photos now I'm home and then I'll tell you about everything else. Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - 1 DAY TO GO! 2057Aug 11, 2017 5:27 pm So very long afternoon... Got there 5 minutes late, thanks traffic!! Took our shoes off and went for a walk through. The heating was on, nice and toasty!! House was looking good with all the lights on and very clean. They'd plugged in an air freshener XD a nice touch!! Took a bunch of photos, then wandered through and checked out the issues. Unfortunately a large number of issues were not rectified so they will have to keep coming back. The list looks like: Rangehood ducted outside - this wasn't done when they installed the rangehood, but have promised to come back and do it. Section where dishwasher is to go, skirting, tiling and under bench cover - this was all looking much better now Brick cut short on window frame - not fixed ;-; they will come and do this Gas pipe not connected - fixed, though I need to check out the mouse hole Glue on back of bench in kitchen - cleaned Bathroom mirrors to be sealed - they will come back and do this Water leak under porch - they fixed it, but it hasn't been fixed.. the gutter is ..wrong? broken? they will fix it again Colorbond over dining room door - this was fixed, but fell off, so they have ordered new stuff to put up New issues: Cracks in garage floor - SOME BIG cracks, builder said they superficial due to shrinkage.. but dad has insisted they get an engineering report just to be sure Garage floor - needs further cleaning Garage walls - needs resanding/repainting Hoping most of these things will be done next week, my builder is going to try and arrange for them to all come back on one day next week. Lots of keys!! Most are window keys. Overall very happy with my house just a bit of a shame about the few outstanding issues. Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - 1 DAY TO GO! 2058Aug 11, 2017 5:32 pm With regards to the liquidated damages, the builder said that the construction period was from about 5/10/16 to COO, so a few weeks ago.. not till handover (I don't remember seeing this anywhere).. he also said that they don't owe me for the 4 week delay for the gas issues with Origin (I don't agree with this really, but I would agree to 4 weeks due to the variations, alarm system, concreting and front fence). Overall, he basically said they don't owe me anything.. BUT they would give me the alarm system for free. I've agreed to this, just to settle the matter. So I get the $600 alarm for free. Part of me is a bit miffed, but time to move on and get on with my life now. Re: {Dawn} SE Melb Build - 1 DAY TO GO! 2060Aug 11, 2017 5:47 pm Your home look fantastic!!!
