Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Metricon Winchester 28- Pre-construction 343Apr 13, 2018 2:05 pm Tribe7 Surely it’s not a tough task and they can get the paper work sorted quickly Oh my goodness. Just received a variation for $3000 for the promo cooling which was deleted back in August! Re: Metricon Winchester 28- Pre-construction 345Apr 13, 2018 2:31 pm r_13 :shock: Thats about my reaction too. Cannot believe we've been held up by a variation for something that was deleted and upgraded. Somehow they forgot to delete that line in the contract, so some numpty has decided to add the cost back in, for what was an included item! We're all systems go to get the variation corrected and signed off so we can be handed to construction by 5pm.Save. Re: Metricon Winchester 28- Pre-construction 347Apr 13, 2018 7:02 pm Tribe7 What the heck? So you don’t have to pay the $5k now? Did you get handed to construction? We pay the $5k for the upgrade we selected which is already in the contract, but not the $3k that was the included aircon that we upgraded from. They acknowledge the mistake but electrical took an early mark so they couldn't get that variation fixed tonight. Husband actually went in to the head office to push. But we have been handed to construction at last. The clock is ticking, they have three weeks to start. Re: Metricon Winchester 28- Pre-construction 349Apr 13, 2018 7:53 pm It's not a win really, it's just not paying again for something we'd already paid for. They'll finalise it on Monday but we've been handed over anyway. Re: Metricon Winchester 28- Pre-construction 350Apr 13, 2018 7:53 pm Drew01 Tribe7 Final plans look great black cat . Gosh I hope your permit comes through it’s so painful waiting. That’s a good idea about your tap too, you do not want people helping themselves to your water. Had to pay it, as it was our word vs the water company... Maybe one of your neighbours have a camera. Might be able to see who was stealing the water ? viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Metricon Winchester 28- Pre-construction 351Apr 13, 2018 9:00 pm Doulton777 Drew01 Tribe7 Final plans look great black cat .

I thought it would be a lot more then that. It’s worth having cameras. Specially with what happens now days. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Metricon Winchester 28- Construction 353Apr 14, 2018 3:43 pm Fitted a padlock to our water metre this morning so the tap can’t be used. We figure no water means the concreters can’t wash their trucks out on our block. Still need to push them to come clean up but the threat of the EPA at least got them working with us.

Aircon mess all sorted, variation signed and returned. Onwards to construction! Re: Metricon Winchester 28- Construction 358Apr 16, 2018 2:32 pm Congratulations blackcat20! That's great news!
