Is it just a draftsman we're waiting on or an external party?

I just want to find out where the final plans are since she said it would take 1 weeks, about 2 weeks ago. Pretty sad they don't make any effort to keep customers happy! Re: Leanne's Baldivis Build #2 - Final Plans Today??? 483Apr 29, 2013 6:54 pm Umm 4 weeks was just prestart girl not doing her job. She took 3 weeks to do our addenda which was full of mistakes. Last 3 weeks file has been with draftsman (apparently we were prioritised by management also.... would hate see current normal waiting time) Basically last 7 weeks is like a day or 2 of work but file just sits around waiting. Then has mistakes so waits again Re: Leanne's Baldivis Build #2 - Final Plans Today? Yeah Rig 485Apr 29, 2013 8:54 pm Hope so! Least expect an email reply. I'd be very happy to get plans tomorrow but don't wanna get my hopes up again Re: Leanne's Baldivis Build #2 - Final Plans Today? Yeah Rig 486Apr 29, 2013 9:14 pm Oh, Leanne, I feel your pain! It's SOOOooooo frustrating when they don't deliver on promises! We were told slab down by first week of may AT ABSOLUTE LATEST, and now we have only the earthworks scheduled for late this week. I reckon it's usually 2 weeks from earthworks to slab down....so it'll be mid May at least. F$ck@r's!!! We had our prestart in January! Really hoping for final plans for you tomorrow, then it will be a happy happy post Our thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64272 Purchased land August '12 Titles Jan 27 '13 Prestart - Jan '13 Re: Leanne's Baldivis Build #2 - Final Plans Today? Yeah Rig 487Apr 29, 2013 9:21 pm Slab usually happens few days free earth works so you'll prob have a slab next week! Way ahead of me! I was told I'd have a slab 2 months from prestart which is 13th May. Which at time we were like OMG thats ages away. Now looking at end May early June! I'm just gonna email them everyday. I don't care if I annoy them. Quickest way to get rid of me is to get me to scheduling/construction hahahaha Re: Leanne's Baldivis Build #2 - Final Plans Today?

Can you call them every day instead? I know it's hard with the kids but phone calls are harder to avoid (block your number if you suspect screening), plus you can get answers on the spot. Voicemails should also be prioritised over email IMO, well that's what I do in my job anyway!

Kind of makes me glad we didn't end up with C, they had one of the few other plans to fit out block. *fingers crossed* they pull their finger out Re: Leanne's Baldivis Build #2 - Final Plans This Week?? 492Apr 30, 2013 12:56 am We got our final plans last week it's been 12 weeks since pre start just now waiting on our commencement date letter Hi all also building with New Generation Homes the Monterey on a corner block with a side frontage and a triple garage looking forward to moving Re: Leanne's Baldivis Build #2 - Final Plans This Week?? 493Apr 30, 2013 5:04 pm I called up this morning around 11:30am. Was told its been flagged as urgent and they trying to get plans to me today. It's now 3pm and still nothing. Loosing hope with only 2 hours to go Re: Leanne's Baldivis Build #2 - Final Plans This Week?? 495Apr 30, 2013 5:44 pm Got them as theres mistakes. Im angry Re: Leanne's Baldivis Build #2 - Final Plans This Week?? 496Apr 30, 2013 5:54 pm That's terrible Leanne *angry face on your behalf* The Rep we were dealing with on our failed first journey, said that all drafting is done in Indonesia, so one can only ascertain that there would be some language barriers & it's no surprise that there are errors. I really hate the fact that so many of the big builders outsource drafting overseas, with as much stuffing around that happens it would be cheaper to have it inhouse as they wouldn't have so many errors & have toredo the plans 5 or 6 or 50 times.

Maybe if they didn't outsource to Singapore I might get someone who understands how to do it properly! Its public holiday in Singapore tomorrow so god knows how long im gonna be waiting now. Im getting past angry and think I might cry Send me the bloody file and ill do it myself Re: Leanne's Baldivis Build #2 - Got Plans... 12 mistakes :( 498Apr 30, 2013 6:17 pm Had no idea they out sourced overseas. Singapore would be pretty good in drafting one would think if you been tere and compare their infrastructure to ours kick butt!!! So lad our home build journey is coming o an end, can't imagine going through this again, but from the time we signed up with C homes in August our home is near completion within next two weeks, I can't complain and there was 3wks supplier delay with Essastone. Cross fingers for you Leanne, seems like they doing a rush job without paying attention to detail to get the plans to you Re: Leanne's Baldivis Build #2 - Got Plans... 12 mistakes :( 500Apr 30, 2013 6:31 pm kat, from what my C Homes Rep said lots of the big builders do that to cut costs. Even my SR from RedInk said that they outsource alot of their drafting to Indonesia / Singapore / India (??), but that they do have a couple of in house drafties as well so they do have the ability to ensure the plans aren't having to be redrawn 10 times. Although he told me Indonesia but if what Leanne says is true that it's Singapore that's a little better as they at least deal in English more often (having worked for a software company with Reps in Singapore & Hong Kong) Our RedInk Build Thread - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64118&p=1004131#p1004131 ** Timeline Page 1 Moved In - 19.12.13 CDC Housing Code 3 When to apply Floor Area external face of wall vs Gross Floor Area internal face of wall.
