Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Fairhaven Homes 490Apr 21, 2019 12:38 pm Bronte19 GEOnTREY Hi Bronte19 Where did you go overseas? Holiday or business? We have a frame and roof trusses. Such a slow process for us with every house around us going up so quickly. Darbecca did inspection on Wednesday so 🤞 everything gets fixed quickly & satisfactorily then hoping they can move ahead at a quicker pace. Went to Japan for holiday. Having independent inspector would slow down the process as well BUT it would be totally worth it in the long run. Good luck for rest of the build. Wow that would be lovely to tour Japan 🙂 Well our 1st inspection couldn't have held anything up because everything was fixed while the Inspector was there on site.

Hi Bronte19, do you have any more progress picture by any chance? We are about to build Fairhaven bronte191 also and would love to see pictures instead of looking at the plan!

I uploaded few photos on this thread while we were building. They should be on the previous pages Re: Fairhaven Homes 493Jun 04, 2019 8:10 am Hey GEOnTREY, how is the build going? I had my 3 month inspection a few days ago. It went well. Only a few issues, mainly the carpet which they will be sending out someone to fix (there are lots of lump and divots. I have a couple of spots in one of the shower niches that is missing grout so that should be getting fixed too. I'm still waiting on getting my stacker doors replace, I suspect that is due to the communications between A&L and Fairhaven. My house is starting to settle so I'm getting a few cracks, mostly in inconspicuous places. Other then that I don't have much to say. Due to financial constraints I haven't been able to do any landscaping or concreting. Though, due to the rain we have a lovely water feature developing in the backyard Fairhaven Homes - Clovelly 191 Re: Fairhaven Homes 494Jun 06, 2019 12:37 pm CalicoCat Hey GEOnTREY, how is the build going?

Though, due to the rain we have a lovely water feature developing in the backyard Hi CalicoCat Glad to hear you don't have too many faults 🙂 Is it your site supervisor who does the 3 month inspection or someone else? Did your bricks get fixed satisfactorily? Was it you that had power points fitted in the corners. Are they ok? I actually want some right in the corner (on our electrical plan) but they have put across on the next stud. We can't even manage to get to lockup. Our build is SOOOOOOO slow! Houses all around us are almost finished and they all started after us. We have an unplanned swimming pool as well, like a sinkhole, it keeps getting bigger. Our pre plaster Darbecca Inspection is today at 1.30. Hope they don't find more errors to hold us up even more. We are still waiting on things to be fixed from the first & second inspections. It sure is stressful but hopefully worth it in the end!
