Once we're in, I'm going to hire a bobcat for a weekend and rescrape the yard by a few inches, and we'll get a few trucks of topsoil through a mate who is in the earthmoving business, so won't cost us anything.

It's a hazard. I agree, ours has all manner of crap spread all over it, and it was pristine when we handed it over. Most of ours is brickies sand though, so it's not terrible, just looks terrible.

I'm going to ask them to remove it; there was no need to add dirty fill to our site and it just creates more work (plus we have no way of knowing how safe it is). Still no word on a handover date almost two weeks since PCI. SS has been on jury duty which may not be helping...

Also how did you keep track of the defects list and were there many? Did your inspector find any others? Do u have any tips to share? We are preparing an excel sheet by room to check that the items are all installed n working correctly. Did u have to sign anything at the end of PCI ? https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=ht ... are_type=t Re: Metricon Winchester 28- PCI done! 995Sep 26, 2018 5:30 pm Our inspector went through before PCI, and picked up a few things M hadn't. At the end of PCI the supervisor fills in the iPad and you sign off on it.

He's chasing things up so hopefully we're back on track. He's also investigating the dirty fill. It's quite possible it's been dumped by someone else but hoping it will be dealt with. Fences finally started today, only three weeks late.... Re: Metricon Winchester 28- PCI done! 998Oct 04, 2018 8:15 am Three weeks since PCI and still no hand over date.... Re: Metricon Winchester 28- PCI done! 999Oct 04, 2018 8:23 am blackcat20 Three weeks since PCI and still no hand over date.... Did you call M to check? Ours the same, ever since we wanted the driveway included in our PCI, there is no news on the new PCI date.
