Looking GREAT! I can't believe all that progress in just 3 weeks, how fantastic is that? Shame about the wall, but no, they can't leave it like that.

Think about making a list of things to bring up at your PCI now.... dont be afraid to be as picky as you want. Your putting your hard earned dollars into this house ,so IMO it has to be close to perfect at the end Hope you had a successful comp too Re: Building with Ideal Homes in Baldivis WA 34Aug 01, 2013 10:47 am Thanks everyone! yeah we were happy to see some bloody progress!! about time! actually visited the house on tuesday and they were installing all the cupboards, they already painted the ceilings and doors, and were getting ready to lay the garage cement. i was shocked. there were 3 different type of tradies working on the house so i guess they are atleast trying to catch up!! so thats something i guess! I'm the type of person who is like, ohh its okay, and i often dont like making a fuss if things arent done correctly, so im glad you guys think i shouldnt let them get away with anything, maybe that will give me the confidence to actually speak up this time! oh and charlie23, dont even get me started on the PS lady!!!!!!!!! not too keen to put what road im on but we are just off smirk in the avalon estate. and belle22, thanks for the idea of starting to get a list together now for PCI because there are some power points they covered with plaster and havent cut back out again too! do you think that is something i should bring up with them now? or wait til PCI? i think im going to spend some dosh and get an inspector in, just to make sure i dont miss anything! this is our first house so we really have no idea what we are doing! and i had a very successful comp! thanks guys if you are ever in Russia i strongly recommend you spend a few days in Kazan, it was amazing there! ill gets some photos up soon title: 14/1/13 Site Works: 23/3/13 Slab: 6/4/13 Bricks: 17/5/13 Roof: 6/7/13 Lock up: 25/7/13 PCI: 8/10/13 Handover: 22/10/13 viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64026 Re: Building with Ideal Homes in Baldivis WA 35Aug 01, 2013 7:52 pm For the power points we had about half that were covered with the white set and the electricians just cleared them out when they finished of the wiring and put the plates on. Glad to hear you are getting progress, I'm similar in that I don't like to make a fuss but I think sometimes that's all that works. We will be having even the small things written down to be fixed, it's a new house I expect it to be pretty close to perfect! Re: Building with Ideal Homes in Baldivis WA 36Aug 01, 2013 8:02 pm Hey Aston, Great to see your house progressing! you must be so excited We just had our slab laid finally and I'm over the moon! Are you using the Ideal Homes Progress Tracker? If so, under the "Roof Cover" stage are some FAQs. One of them is: They plastered over my light switch or power point? The Electrician consults the electrical working drawings of your new homes to complete all the electrical points. Thought this might help answer your query. Keep the photos coming! Cheers, TJ Re: Building with Ideal Homes in Baldivis WA 37Aug 02, 2013 3:10 pm yeah TJ and fmac i am aware of that, im only concerned because all the power points have been dug out except for one, and my friend recently had the same thing happen to them, they got to PCI and there were several power points the electrician missed, so now im super paranoid they will miss it! Not that its a big deal, my BF is a sparky. can not wait for the weekend! pretty excited to see how much they've done this week! title: 14/1/13 Site Works: 23/3/13 Slab: 6/4/13 Bricks: 17/5/13 Roof: 6/7/13 Lock up: 25/7/13 PCI: 8/10/13 Handover: 22/10/13 viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64026 Re: Building with Ideal Homes in Baldivis WA 38Aug 02, 2013 5:54 pm Hi Aston, Yeh I would maybe just shot them an email or phone call in regards to the power points. It may be the standard thing to do, but as you say you can never be too sure, and it won't hurt to get some clarification on it. If they don't do anything, well just add it to the list for your PCI, then they have to fix it! I know I am the exact same too, I hate to make a fuss as well, however it's vital that your happy with the end result ,and as I said your investing all your money into one huge thing, your house, so sorry builders....it's got to be perfect. Can't wait to see some piccys Re: Building with Ideal Homes in Baldivis WA 39Aug 04, 2013 11:48 am Hi Aston, I've just been reading the Ideal Homes Progress Tracker again and have a question for you. When the house reaches "construction lockup" stage, how do you as the owner get access to the inside? Are you given a key as well as the builder? Thanks, TJ Re: Building with Ideal Homes in Baldivis WA 40Aug 04, 2013 11:57 am Generally once lock up you are locked out unless something is accidently left open or you go when tradie or SS is there Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 74717 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
