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 9:02 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 4:10 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 6:54 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 12:48 pm 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 12:57 pm 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 47651 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
