I'm in the same camp as Belzey, that sometimes it is easier to cut your losses and fix things yourself, less stressful and then you know the job is done properly. We too have taken keys finally and have spent the last two weeks getting the house ready to move into (blinds, curtains, driveway, security etc). We move in tomorrow. However, I reckon about 75% of my floor tiles have paint spots on them, you can play connect-the-paintdots in the bathtub, there are two different power points used in the house (WTF!), things we asked to have fixed on our PCI list that weren't. We have made them come back and fix the fence and the roller doors get done next week. But the little things ... I've just chalked them up to experience and we will fix over time. I know it should all come back on the builder as they employ the trades, but some trades will never treat your house like you would, to them it is just another job to get paid for, to rush through to move to the next job and their care factor is below zero. Your skirting boards are such a big part of your house, you do need to chase that up. But if you can, enjoy the bones and make the house a home. Don't let DA beat you ... you waited far too long to get into this house to have it make you unhappy.

I'm really sorry to hear of your quality issues - I hope they've sorted some of them by now. Did you send the email you said you were going to? Did you get any reaction to it? I really hope so x Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17683 Can anyone recommend a good/affordable retaining wall and fence builder that I can get a quote from located in Sydney? 8 45891 If you are in Victoria you have a statutory right to your own building inspector regardless of builder's consent.
