Did anyone ask Wisdom how much it would cost for a recessed sliding track? Wished we thought of that. I asked Wisdom months ago if we could recess the tracts to our alfresco sliding doors but they said no, it's not easy to do. I know other builders that do it though. A shame cause I really wanted it... May I ask who told you no? Was it sales rep in display home or in your appointed CSO @ HO (Sorry not sure what stage you are at)? There were a few things that we were told we could not have during our admin journey, but have found out we could have had them, only to be told incorrect information. If you want something, I would certainly push them as hard as you can. For example we were originally told no pendant light in powder room, no glass shelve in ensuite niche, no changes to selected facade, but we pushed on some and some items were agreed to. Pity that there is no consistency. It was Wisdom H/O, our Tender and Contract Team Leader who checked and said no. At least they agreed on some of the items for you, that's good to know. The stage we are at is still waiting for our revised plans to come back. They surely take their time. It's been two weeks and nothing. Hopefully everything will be right and then we can receive our contract and move a little closer. Can't wait to do our next appointments.

I would be asking again after you sign the contract, when you begin speaking with your CSO. They will be your main point of contact after being handed over from your Contract Team Leader. Given that there are delays in the admin process, certainly bring it up with your CSO and even in your colours appointment as well - because of the delays, something that was not allowed 3 months ago may now be allowed by the builder, especially if competitors are offering this. Hopefully they change their mind for you.

We've been waiting 3 weeks on revised plans now. They were 100% promised to be ready today when I spoke to Wisdom yesterday. Today it's a maybe for Monday I've started to forecast how much extra we can save whilst only paying the land loan because we're clearly not going to be anywhere close to ready by registration in June.

Building Wisdom Homes Serenity 31 Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 4819Mar 24, 2017 8:21 pm msjovi Kirst10 Hi guys, ive been off here for a few weeks - and what an emotional few weeks we've had. We had PCI on the 9th. There was only minor things to do - some more paint touch ups, one room didnt have the carpet done and some bricks needed a better clean. We got a call from SS on the Friday after to tell us that after waiting nealy 4mths to get our garage door installed, someone has damaged it. I could have died. I told hubby he needs to deal with SS now as im going to have nervous breakdown! SS told hubby to call last week to see where things were at as he wasnt able to set handover. Wednesday came around and we got told that Di Lorenzo have run out of our carpet and wont be in stock till end of month and we cant handover till then! I was devo'd. One room without carpet and they cant handover. I said that i didnt mind moving in without that room done as it's one of our spares, but no (apparently he'd called the boss and that was the answer). Friday came round and he was not answering our calls and msgs. He finally called me back and raised his voice at me through the phone. I was hysterical. Called hubby who called HO who gave him the bosses number. Boss said he knows nothing about our house and certainly doesn't see a reason why we couldn't move in without one room carpeted! He said leave it with him and he'll make some calls. Within 2 hours, they were getting the carpet from another supplier and we have handover Thursday 23rd - tomorrow. SS was trying to call me but I wasn't answering after the way he had spoken to me. Finally answered and . I'll admit i was quite short with him. But we are finally handing over tomorrow. Phew. What a week. Im glad it's over to be honest. I'll be sure to post some pics tomorrow once we have the keys in our hot little hands lol. I hate to say it, but im not even excited. The last week has really taken the shine off it all and I just want it to be done. We have our tiler booked in to start on Friday as we have that to do and he'll probably take over a week so we'll be moving on the 8th/9th. Right before I have the family over for Easter!!! Sorry for the Novel - just new you guys would be able to understand. I know our issue pale in comparison to some of you guys. Just keep your chin up and it will all be over eventually! Oh Kirst, I feel your pain!! Nothing can prepare you for the let down you feel when timelines aren't met and delays start to happen. Look at us.. over 6 months down and we still don't have externals finished! I'm hoping you got to handover OK?! It's horrible isn't it! We had handover yesterday and all went well. SS was fine and even had a few jokes with us. You poor thing msjovi. I can't imagine how over it you are. One funny thing RE carpet gate at our place, doing finally walkthru I looked at the carpet that had been laid in the dreaded final bedroom and thought hhhmmm doesn't quick look right to me. But didn't say anything (figured we have 90days for any defaults) so when hubby and I went back later in the arvo I got him to look at it. He didn't see what I was talking about so I got him to grab a scrap piece from the garage of the other carpet and put it down next to it. It's the wrong $&@!ing carpet he goes!! Hahahaha it's the same colour but the little squares in it are much tighter or closer together than the original one in all the other rooms. Lol. I had to laugh. Shaun said to me, did u realise this this morning?! I said yes straight away but who cares! We have our keys now and I wasn't going to delay that anymore! It will be going on the maintenance list Building Wisdom Homes Serenity 31 Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 4820Mar 24, 2017 8:24 pm Very happy to have these in my lap!
