Cheers D! 👍 Party time will have to wait though. We discovered some major issues with the electrical pre-wiring of the future downlights and light switches. Also there's some crooked bulkheads and cornices that need to be fixed. Quite disappointing.

Quite disappointing. Oh No!!! How did you find the issues ? Did the Houspect guys find it out for you ? How do we confirm that the issues highlighted by the private inspector has been resolved? What went wrong with the bulkhead. We also had a bulkhead issue during the frame stage Re: Metricon Savannah 34 - Close to preliminary presentation 197Aug 12, 2017 2:43 pm deepugjacob Oh No!!! How did you find the issues ? Did the Houspect guys find it out for you ? How do we confirm that the issues highlighted by the private inspector has been resolved? What went wrong with the bulkhead. We also had a bulkhead issue during the frame stage No we found it ourselves. I was visiting the site with my electrician and I asked him to check behind a switch plate to ensure they had been wired as we requested at the electrical consultation stage. In regards to issues found by Houspect, you'll have to follow them up with your site manager yourself. The bulkhead in our entry hall was crooked. So I asked for it to be fixed. Cheers D.
