Oh no! And it's going to be a wet week. I hope they fix this soon. Must be so upsetting and frustrating.

Upsetting isn't the answer, more so devastated. I don't think the amount of anger I had yesterday could even be explained and considering that they haven't even offered to get someone out to dry clean the wet carpet just frustrates me more. The 1st room that has leaking windows now officially stinks like mould and they have known about this since 2nd week of July so I'm sure you can imagine the verbal diarrhoea that's been exploding out of my mouth towards ABN group
That is sooo disappointing to hear! Can't believe they take so long to sort it out! Especially the longer they leave it, the worse it's going to get and more areas will get affected- wall paint etc
I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I can only pray and hope that we won't have to encounter this when we build!

Honestly I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy and I hope no one goes through this. Good luck with your build

Yes that's our worst fear! We thought boutique homes was meant to have higher quality than other builders ie metricon and hence decided to go with them.
I was hoping we could avoid any issues like this by hiring an independent inspector. But looks like you have done all that and still have to deal with all these headaches.
In hindsight, do you think it's worth it to hire an independent inspector? I'm getting mixed opinions.

100% hire an independent inspector, best investment/money well spent. Without the independent inspections I wouldn't even want to imagine the quality of the homes they build. We have the best slab and best brick work around our house. Plastering and paint.....different story. But if it wasn't for our independent inspector we wouldn't of had our sqaure set cornices rectified by Boral as Boutique couldn't do it properly, our damaged colorbond roofing wouldn't of been replaced and the gutters not being installed properly resulted in them having to do it all again from scratch. I think Boutique knowing from day 1 that we are hiring an independent inspector and are also getting re-inspections made them have the decent tradesmen work on our property.
