In fact, it has led me to investigate and be very weary of my current pool builder and make sure that I am undertaking the right amount of diligence. For example, my pool builder's supervisor has stated to me this week that they have not planned our excavation as yet and are unable to give me a date. The supervisor has mentioned to us that many pool companies are going broke because of the recent rain in Sydney. He has also mentioned that they excavate,then three weeks later concrete the shell. If it rains, then we need to get into the hole and drain the water. When we all the office they say something completely different. He has aso said that we will need to pay for extra excavation and we pay the excavation contractor in cash, don't pay the pool builder. All if this is reeking of incompetent, unreliable and skeptical/suspicious behavior. None of this was explained at the time of contract. None of it makes sense. It worried us when they said they needed extra $1200 cash for a sewer peg out but ( before it was approved) when I asked for a friend who works for the water authority, he said it would cost a fraction of that cost. When i advised the poool builder that I would arrange peg out, I was told it was no longer required. The pool builder thrives on advertising that their management is emailed directly with customer issues but, as yet, they have not bothered to get involved or even reply to an email. Their ads are all spin. So, I am not surprised of the reports. We were initially comfortable with the builder. They had solid reputation, endorsement and have been in business for many years. Now, we are very weary and onto them like a rash. I have no confidence that they will deliver. Will keep you posted. Buyer beware! I use Tramex moisture meter and it will tell me instantly if the wall is cement sheet or plaster or masonite but most people dont have the equipment. 5 7086 the step up is 30mm and wanting it to be flat . how much does the concrete have to be lowered .we plan on removing bath and lenghten shower and adding seat. the old bath… 0 11835 8 6149 |
