Forum Building A New House Re: Coral Homes Daydream 28 Far North Coast NSW 136Feb 09, 2019 1:51 pm End of week 13 (16 weeks since building commenced). I have been a bit slack with posting up dates but that is because not much has been happening. The painters completed (sort of) painting last week (week 12) but nothing has happened this week other than bathroom tiles being delivered. Wet area tiling is scheduled for next week as well as moving the island bench 100 mm to mitigate the narrow passageway issue (see above). I don't want to waste time arguing with Coral so I have agreed to pay to get it fixed even though the mistake was made by Coral's draftsperson. Coral have at least acknowledged responsibility and so will not be adding admin fees, variation fees or builder's margin. External painting almost complete (quite a few touch ups and another coat on the garage render required) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Coral Homes Daydream 28 Far North Coast NSW 138Feb 17, 2019 2:10 pm ![]() Did tiles get done last week brad? We have tiles hopefully starting tomorrow Hi Tash. Last week was week 14 (17 weeks since commencement). The tiling commenced. Our kitchen and laundry subway splashbacks are looking good and our wet area floor tiles are down (but not grouted yet). The kitchen island bench was moved to mitigate the narrow passageway issue. It is amazing how much difference 100 mm can make. In the coming week the tiling should be completed and fit out should get underway. The electrician is scheduled for Friday to start fitting lights, GPOs, etc. Our SS has indicated a PC date of 15th March. It would be awesome if PC is on that date but I'm not going to hold my breath just in case. Hope all is going well on your build. Brad Re: Coral Homes Daydream 28 Far North Coast NSW 139Feb 18, 2019 8:56 am That’s good to hear it’s going well. Our painting has just finished and tiles is supposed to start today. Drove past and no one there. Not surprising considering they told us for 3 weeks straight painting would start the next Monday. Really hope that’s not the case though. They longer they drag it out the more it’s costing us in rent and other bills 😢 did you have des Nelson painting? Just trying to work out if we have the same trades Re: Coral Homes Daydream 28 Far North Coast NSW 140Feb 18, 2019 9:04 am Not sure who the painter was. Their car didn't have any advertising on it but it had Qld number plates. The two guys that did the work were of Indian ancestry; one wore a fluro orange turban and the other wore a bright blue turban. Most usually have to do a da. We had to. Our construction certificate only took a couple of days, and a couple of days for my start date. Which was a month after. It’s… 55 5363 Thank you for the advice. I will surely make a note and tell them about it. Yes we are using steel frames. If we ask the supervisor to add extra noggings will he do it?? 50 4884 Coral homes will ruin your life.
