Browse Forums Building A New House Re: New home build - Custom Design WA 156Jan 25, 2020 3:11 pm Another disappointing week for us, the only thing getting done was the stormwater connections down the sides of the house, and brick pavers delivered. The main holdup is the completion of plastering around the cavity siding doors, which arose due to them installing a framed system instead of frameless. We are also waiting for kitchen fixups. The cabinet maker decided they would install some air vents below and above our ovens without checking with us first. They're hideous! Needless to say, we are getting them changed. We also got to site and found 2 big holes in the sitting room ceiling. It turns out that the supervisor wasn't happy with the level of the ceiling and is getting it levelled out. It's demoralising to see the house so patchy and messy, but luckily we ran into the supervisor on site. He walked us through and explained how they have addressed all our issues, which relieved some of our anxiety.

Instead of using vents they built a gap at the top of the ovens that matches the finger grips on the other cupboards. We're still waiting on the cavity sliders to be fixed, it's been months since we raised the issue and weeks since they told us the parts were ordered.
