Sorry to hear of the whole frustrating saga. Hope things take positive turn from here. Just a question, did PD not charge for double glazing to all windows? Thanks Naziac, Initially they forgot to charge me for it, but they added it in via a variation. We agreed to splitting up the cost of double glazing based on the energy report as it was added post contract. You may know this, but my suggestion is to NOT ask for double glazing during the sales phase until you see the tender document. Builders may add in double glazing to meet 6-star energy rating unless there are any structural changes off the base plan. We had made changes to the base plan... Yes we held of asking for it too and then found out it was required for the 6 star rating but we had to wear the cost of the double glazing which was more than $10,000. We had made changes to the base plan too. Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 12345 I ended up going with 'Andrew Belic Construction Co.' https://www.instagram.com/andrewbelicconstruction/ 2 59683 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 17618 |
