Coming together so quickly Byford Central-M3 Residential-Ceiling & Walls Plastered/Cab 98Oct 12, 2015 7:06 pm Hi guys another update. Ceilings have been completed, internal, garage and alfresco. Internal wall plaster is almost completed. Looks like a nice finish. Cabinets and some bench tops & bathroom sinks have been delivered. The builder should be contacting me soon for the tile meeting, and we are using that meeting to bring up some of the issues we picked up last time. Unfortunately sometime last week vandals smashed our back windows from the inside out. Annoying, but builder is taking care of it.

The roof beam was sticking out past the bulkhead and into the ceiling space. When questioned the builder said that the bulkhead would cover it. We didn't understand how this would happen due to the bulkhead already in place and was not covering it. On the weekend we saw that they have widened the bulkhead quiet a bit to cover this beam. It makes the room feel very small and it was not meant to be like this. I'd say it's over 1m wide Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Issue 2: In the master bedroom one roof beam is strutting off a hanging beam and not off a supporting beam like its meant to. I requested information about this and was told by the builder that it wasn't supporting anything and could be removed if I wanted. I am still waiting to talk to them about it, and has been covered up now.

So far I'm happy with 80-90% of the build process, and will be writing a full review on here and on product review after the build has finished. My Build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=74866 Re: Byford Central-M3 Residential-Ceiling & Walls Plastered/ 99Oct 12, 2015 9:01 pm Sorry to hear about the windows, that's terrible news. Hopefully they get fixed for you soon. And fingers crossed the issues with bulkhead and beam get fixed too... Very exciting about the cabinets being delivered... you must be looking forward to seeing your kitchen and bathrooms come together!
