This will be the second time I will be on site since they started work. Excited and at the same time nervous Good luck for tomorrow and have fun walking through your house Its amazing that you've only had 1 visit so far. We asked for one after every major stage. Basically everytime that EBH sent out an invoice, we requested an inspection. To his credit SS only ever denied 1 request due to safety concerns. He must have thought we were bonkers when we requested to see the slab. But we had modified the house quite a bit and wanted to make sure that the extra ensuite, portico and back alfresco had been poured with the slab. Would love to see pictures if you get the chance.

It will be quite a move when you guys get keys Whilst I trusted my SS 100%, they can't always be there all the time to hold a tradesmans hands. Don't get me wrong, the majority of them are great at what they do, but it helps to keep a close eye on your build, whether you have a "chaperoned" visit of not Slab – 31 Oct 2012 Frame - 15 Nov 2012 Bricks – 26 Nov 2012 Roof - 14 Jan 2013 Lock Up- 11 Feb 2013 PCI- 23rd May 2013 Settlement - 7th June 2013 Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10555May 22, 2014 4:11 pm A questions for everyone. Last week tyrrells have done an inspection and noted quite a few issues, mainly with painting. I have checked with my SS and he is saying the tyrrells will not do a further reinspection at PCI as the issues were not major and they have fixed all. I tried contacting Howard Ryan and they cannot attend tomorrow (original PCI was 26 MAY). Now what are my options. Should I reschedule my PCI or trust my SS. As mentioned earlier issues were paint related.. What do you suggest. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10557May 22, 2014 4:26 pm Need2know One more thing. The report says No in front of "Can QA certificate be issued". Is it normal that they do not reinspect? That's what is says at the front of my Tyrells inspection. I would have thought that your Tyrells inspection, if done last week would be a PCI inspection? So Howard is scheduled to come over on the 26th for his PCI inspection? It shouldn't be too much of an issue unless you are settling before then... Tyrells should come by one more time at pre-settlement to make sure that all items listed on the PCI report have been rectified.

So when I asked me for the reinspection report, he said there is no report for today's reinspection. Except Brickwork (Unsatisfactory due to cleaning and missing mortar )most of the stuff on my report (last week) had N= Needs Attention. Yes our pci was booked for 26 May (tentative). Let me know if I should worry much ..... Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10560May 22, 2014 4:39 pm Ok now I'm confused....so Tyrells have come back out already, prior to you having your PCI to have their pre-settlement inspection??? That is what I am gathering from what your SS is telling you. You won't get a pre-settlement report, but I wonder why your SS has done things this way. Maybe a good idea to check with him tomorrow during PCI. We had Tyrells and Howard go through for PCI the week before we had PCI. Not sure when Tyrells came back for their pre-settlement inspection, but I can guarantee that it was after I had PCI as a lot of the issues had not been rectified yet when I went through. No need for panic stations yet. If Howard finds an issue then your SS has to fix it prior to you getting keys.
