Re: Building Custom Design with Fairmont Homes - Lewiston SA 51May 13, 2016 11:50 am Received our final invoice today, but still not sure when build will be complete. At this stage PCI has not even been booked! Hubby visited site the other day and the tiler was laying the floor tiles, he had only just started but things were looking good so far. Tiler is anticipating that he should be finished by about the middle of next week and that the carpets had been pushed back to be installed the end of next week. I'm still hoping for PCI by the start of June but we will just have to see what happens. Hubby will contact our SS on Monday to try and lock him in for a date. Things to do before PCI are Tiling - In progress Final electrical fix - this should have been done before tiling but for some reason hasn't been done, tiler not happy as he has no power and also can't work later as no light. Siliconing of the tiling work - tiler said that someone comes in after he has finished to do this Carpet Hubby took some photo's on Tuesday when he was there and I'm hoping to visit today.

At least you should be able to move in pretty quickly as Fairmont have done your floor coverings. We must have the same tiler as our tiling has started and he has left a row off the bottom of the walls!

Re: Building Custom Design with Fairmont Homes - Lewiston SA 57May 23, 2016 10:20 pm Oh, and I wanted to ask - upthread a bit you mentioned you had delays with electricity being connected. When I spoke to the SS the other week he told me that there had been delays with our electricity being connected and it would not be connected until late June. Did the lack of electricity hold any trades up or did they just keep working? Re: Building Custom Design with Fairmont Homes - Lewiston SA 58May 24, 2016 9:54 am Bobbin Oh, and I wanted to ask - upthread a bit you mentioned you had delays with electricity being connected. When I spoke to the SS the other week he told me that there had been delays with our electricity being connected and it would not be connected until late June. Did the lack of electricity hold any trades up or did they just keep working? We still have no power and were advised yesterday by the electrician that it wouldn't be happening until Friday. I have no idea why there are delays with this as the Metricon build next door has had power since they started building. At this stage the only thing it has delayed is the completion of the extra electrical work we are getting done as they need the power to test what they have done. The other trades have just worked around it. I know that the tiler wasn't happy about it though as he likes to work longer hours and couldn't because he had no lights so he probably took an extra couple of days than planned. The thing that concerns me at the moment is that hubby has just driven past and seen that the carpet is being installed, so now I'm worried that when the electricians go in they're going to muddy up the carpets! Building Custom Design with Fairmont Homes - Lewiston SA 59May 24, 2016 3:48 pm Lewiston, ask if you can go in and put drop sheets down or something. Or maybe the SS can put the sticky plastic down so that the carpet doesn't get trashed. I feel for you! Building a custom Sterling home in Adelaide. Re: Building Custom Design with Fairmont Homes - Lewiston SA 60May 24, 2016 7:34 pm Sorry to hear of you power troubles, I didn't even consider that with ours, we were billed for electrical connection to our house but don't have to pay until later I don't think but I hope we have power on so people can do their work easily, we were told the fairmont tilers are running behind..
