Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Henley in Melbourne 59Jun 20, 2007 7:47 am french_gal I tell you, if henley gets another thing wrong im going to fully crack the ****! Isnt it in a business best interest, that if they f**k up then they do everything to make sure it doesnt happen again? And make sure the customer is happy? Not henley. We didnt go see our house for a week because we were sick of seeing nothing done and when it was there was always mistakes. So when i went and had a look i almost died in shock to see that they had started all the cut in work. Problem is they have stuffed up the colour and have also painted our skirting boards the same fricking colour. Painter was there, told him and he replied with well thats what i have been told to do. He wouldnt stop and call henley to double check now would he. I am so frigging annoyed. I know that the building process is frustrating and stressfull, but this is just ridiculous. I wish we hadnt gone with them, i would do anything to not have to deat with them again! You gotta be carefull harassing the tradies like that, when we built some time ago, a person a few blocks down from us was harassing the tradies like what your doing and their builder threatened to stop construction if he put another foot on the building site. Technically you are not allowed on the building site until handover unless accompanied by a supervisor.

If the supervisor was doing his job right we wouldnt have to check the site every day. and we dont go inside the premises. You can see everything from outside. And as for only being alowed on the site with the supervisor, well lets just say that we have had only one site inspection with our old supervisor and have not even been intoduced nor been called by our new supervisor. We thought well we will leave it a week and not go see the place and when we went to have a look there was another mistake done. So as i see it, if i didnt go and see it till the end, then what would my poor little house look like. How many little mistakes would have turned into big ones? We dont call and harras our administrator, we send him a polite email letting him know what we have noticed, and then he gets back to us when he see's fit. No point calling him cause you can never get him on the phone. Hi, If you give a set of criteria as to what means 'good' to you, it'll give others prompts to respond. We considered Henley early on but there were two factors that… 1 11763 I do enjoy the drama:-D In his latest two videos he has started bringing security guards to site, I am waiting for the punch on to begin lol 6 45827 It's all about wireless, self install now.
