Looks great Re: Serpentine Build - with Cachet Homes 52Oct 12, 2015 10:43 am Wow your roof will be finished in no time, love the pics! Re: Serpentine Build - with Cachet Homes 53Oct 21, 2015 3:25 pm So looking around at house today and noticed a few things not quite right , from the start we provided photographs of what we liked / wanted and asked builder to incorporate in our build . Example we had a very specific facade in mind and looking at it now ... It's very different indeed feeling pretty let down and disappointed atm m Re: Serpentine Build - with Cachet Homes 54Oct 21, 2015 4:09 pm No good K! Did they not give you a drawing of how the façade would look before commencing works? Our build thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=70984 Serpentine Build - with Cachet Homes 55Oct 23, 2015 4:09 pm We had supplied drawings already done by another builder ( family who we originally were going to build through but we would have had to wait too long to go through him ) and didn't realise they had changed it when we signed we also had raked ceilings in our theatre and they've put struts across the top so there will be a flat strip along the raked part . I'm definitely not having that! They extended a bulkhead in the kitchen so it turned out the whole kitchen ceiling was lowered but that's an easy fix so feeling better about that part . Just hate when we supplied ready down drawings and Pinterest photos and they change things without mentioning them and it's an obvious price cut for them I guess we just assumed that if they were changing anything they would let us know but rookie mistake I guess!
Re: Serpentine Build - with Cachet Homes 56Oct 23, 2015 4:12 pm Will be hard to change study ceiling now as the wood beam they used is a pine ceiling beam so can't really expose it now . They had more than enough of the good timber beams they could have put in there - they even used a good beam in the ceiling where it's all covered up ? Just doesn't make sense to me . Re: Serpentine Build - with Cachet Homes 58Oct 23, 2015 6:18 pm Have you checked what they are building is what's is on your signed off plans? Re: Serpentine Build - with Cachet Homes 59Oct 26, 2015 12:38 pm Yep signed plans def don't show what they are doing now was supposed to be raked . Roof carpenters are back today and are saying not sure how it could be changed now . Will be pretty upset if they can't fix it ! Re: Serpentine Build - with Cachet Homes 60Oct 26, 2015 12:49 pm That isn't really good enough! They need to take the whole roof off and start again if it isn't to plans surely?? Our build thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=70984 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 17601 3 48390 Ask for references and speak to them.
