Love all of your colour selections! Not too much longer now! Very exciting. You do have to stand your ground with things your not happy with. At the end of the day your paying for it and you need to be happy with it. No regrets!!! We finally have gyprock and should be locked up on monday!!! Woo Hoo! Re: PCI not far off 111Sep 15, 2013 9:44 pm Less than two weeks, carpenters just finishing off their final touches. Painters were there AGAIN over the weekend doing their final coat and some patch ups that were highlighted by the SS. Few more updated pics:- They took note and fixed up our kitchen bench properly, not just some D grade gap filla as shown in pic earlier in the post.

We think the colour comes up trumps with the Polar White laminate silk finish to the joinery. Builder has followed us up for our last variation (they lost it) so the Accounts Dept can start to prepare our final bill. We have started looking at Building Insurance in anticipation of handover and quotes have ranged from $400 to $560 to $850. Best read the PDS in details and see what the loop holes are.

We are meant to have a pre PCI walkthrough this week to go over any 'obvious' areas that need attention. Not much left to do apart from Electricial fit off (given they started the 2nd fix 5 weeks ago we have little faith when this will be done in a timely manner) Finish off painting the Portico Roof Paint the Render facade Install the 'correct' tapware to the bath Install kitchen mixer From there must be close to handover, well depending on how many issues our independent inspector identifies.

I take it an independent inspector was worthwhile then? The OP has gone The latch and striker are definitely not aligned but there was no point trying to help the OP understand that. Hence the reason they are no longer with us. 12 5687 We hired Darbecca to do every stage inspection, and I strongly recommend them to anyone that asks me. They were amazing.
