It must just depend on your SS right? I think we had Prestart within a few days of each other hey cedes? But you waited ages for bricks? It just so annoying to have the house sitting there when we have to keep paying rent. More aggravating is that they are mainly just fixing their mistakes now . In total they missed two power points, one phone line and the a/c control point. Wth? This now means a whole lot of tiles in the laundry and kitchen have been removed. AND this means retrofitting my lovely subway tiles which I didn't want the builder touching (hence why we outsourced!). I am so torn - do I let the builder try and fix the tiles or do we try and get our tiler back in to fix? This is why we are TRYING to get them to fix things as we go. we are lucky that we live close to our build and that my husband (John) is a tradie so has lots of other tradesmen at his disposal for advice. Our Redink tiler has just started - just built nib walls etc., not done any actual tiling yet - but he comes across as very thorough and concerned about doing a good job, and he thinks about what he's doing. e.g. he built a nib wall to spec, then called John and asked if we wanted it smaller as it looked rubbish at that size. Re: Redink SOR rear build - PCI in sight...sort of? 594Jan 25, 2014 11:59 am Ah that sound a good Mandy. The tiler sounds really proactive! Yeah I can't believe they rendered over so many of our points! They were originally there, we just didn't pick up until later on. Though I can't believe our SS didn't notice we were missing so many points! We have raised issues as soon as we see them, but they don't action. As soon as door went in we said it was wrong, we were told 'oh we will replace that later on'. Now we are told that they will just replace the glazing?! But this still isn't done Re: Redink SOR rear build - PCI in sight...sort of? 595Jan 25, 2014 12:03 pm asj25 Ah that sound a good Mandy. Yeah I can't believe they rendered over so many of our points!

If you leave it until later it creates more issues - see your power points/tiling for example. Arrrghhh! And breathe! Re: Redink SOR rear build - PCI in sight...sort of? 596Jan 29, 2014 9:24 pm So nothing has really been done this week. Apparently all the jobs are the things 'they do at the very end' I feel like yelling 'ARE WE NOT AT THE F******* END?' Haha. Apparently still waiting to hook up power?! But I don't understand why that means they can't fix the front door etc. So they think MAYBE PCI next week. At this point I just want them to set a date and stick to it. This has been a much longer build than anticipated given the relatively small size of the house and the fact that it was pretty basic from redinks perspective ie no floors/no render/no fancy frontage/no paving /no painting. Re: Redink SOR rear build - PCI in sight...sort of? 597Jan 30, 2014 5:54 pm What work is left to do? Fix up the tiling, A/C panel, and front door? Chase that PCI date.
