So glad you're nearly at the finish line, can't wait to see your moved in pics! I know, so close!!! How are the joins on your staircase balustrade? Ours are terrible - keep meaning to get photos... I went to their display in Honeywood on the weekend and they were perfect - so we will definitely be bringing it up at PCI.

Exact date is still TBC. I'm guessing around the 29 June.. So if all goes well and everything is attended to on our PCI list - we should get our keys around the 13 July! I really hoped it would be sooner as I might be going overseas for work at the start of August... which would coincide with when we move in after painting and organising our floors. But handover within 12 months from slab down is what we were told, so can't really complain! Excting & very busy times ahead...

Also, the fencing company called me and said they are booked out for about two weeks - so best to book in your fence a couple of weeks early.

That's annoying.. maybe I should ring them and see if they will do our fencing the same time they do yours.. makes sense.. Did you have to go through the developer first?

It's annoying cause the guys said that they install straight away! Must just be unlucky in that's a busy period. I did stress urgency considering we've already had something stolen but they said that everyone is in the same boat.. Have to submit the voucher to developer first and they forward to the fencing company 'Stryder fencing co'. We're going to have no window coverings and no fence going to have to barricade the Windows!

We're going to have no window coverings and no fence going to have to barricade the Windows! I've just sent an email to Terranovis asking if we can have our fencing done at the same time as yours. Hopefully they oblige - but doubt it! Did you find out if we could nominate our own landscaper and still use the $3.5k voucher? Haha! Oh no... you might need to do the old sheet over the window trick?

Will let you know Hmm, maybe I am looking at a different document because mine says "Landscaping will be carried out at the discretion of the seller by a contractor or contractors nominated by the seller". Really hoping we have the option to nominate our own though! I've emailed so will see what they come back with! Have fun moving in this weekend!!

But I'm pretty sure Jason has already spoken to terranovis and they said it's fine but they just need to approve the landscaping plan. Anyway I'll let you know how we go Thanks!!

If we were given the option we would of chosen bright chrome! No worries Our is a matte finish, but we don't mind that as we chose matte for all of our handles. From memory, we did have a choice for the balustrading as well?
