Love how now he is going to charge you for the extra earthworks when they said they would just do it - no cost mentioned. The fact he said come back and do tie ups means your frame failed council inspection which is why no plaster as they need to do the tie ups, then book council to recheck it and approve it before they can cover with plaster. Love how they don't explain that to you as it might make them look bad when they fail council inspection.

They had to call him Mr Kerr on the PA at woolies where he worked because of his name. I always thought it was a joke until the guy came to my store to connect a mobile and I read his licence - sure enough - Wayne Kerr. I couldn't work out why he never changed his name once an adult. Turns out when he was born that slang wasn't around so wasn't an issue - poor guy. ~Shellby~ GJ Bridgewater 203 11/3/2016 - Site Work Started 29/9/2016 - Handover 142 Work Days 6 Work Days Over https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80174 Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 21... 3332Jun 15, 2017 4:47 pm Bahahaha took me so long to figure that one out!!! This day has got me bamboozled, can it end like now!!! I have typed a letter to the neighbours like a two liner saying we will do a spoon drain and please do not contact our builders, I will post it to them - cant be bothered to deal with them now Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 21... 3333Jun 15, 2017 5:07 pm Oh Charli... I'm so sorry sweetie. That reply is just a palm off... and your neighbours, what gems (not)! - B A vue of the pines on the Gold Coast forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=87210 Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 21... 3334Jun 15, 2017 6:35 pm Oh CB I was dropping in hoping for good news for you!! You poor bugga, shi##y neighbours are the worst. Ours called the Water NSW about our water instead of even trying to talk to us. I swear we will be on some A Current Affair waring neighbours show one day 😂😂😂 I've never built before but once you get to the end of contract does that mean they have no incentive to finish or your allowed to get another builder in at GJs cost? Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 21... 3335Jun 15, 2017 6:38 pm Oh Charli! I read this while walking home and just.. OMG YOU POOR THING!!! I don't know where to start, your builder, your neighbors.. what a horrible day for you ;-; First off... your email to the builder was great. AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WAS THEIR RESPONSE!!! I hate when they respond to your issues with a "oh its fine.." when its obviously not!! and then "how dare you question my supreme authority" ... and then to turn it back on you!! They could have answered your email and then followed up later on the neighbor's issue. ALSO can't believe they are going to charge you for the shed levelling.. after everything they've put you through they could wear that cost.. and to send you a bill after doing the work? Did they even tell you what it would cost up front? MAN.. I just can't believe this builder.. first the whole driveway/gravel issue.. and now this.. I CANT BELIEVE he demanded you explain why the neighbor said that.. I just.. feel for you hun. I've had issues, but nothing like this. I wish you could walk away from this horrible horrible builder. I am so angry for you ;-; how rude and nasty was that response... and.. like I totally understand your neighbors frustration, but not the way to handle it.. they didn't have to say that... *hugs* Re: Charlibear's Build - Week 21... 3336Jun 15, 2017 8:24 pm Hun you are so strong, don't let the arse intimidate you. I am lost for words I have been stalking your thread for any progress because even to come on the forum ATM is way to depressing but I had to comment as this is a **** response of deflection. I cannot believe the hide of him and it seems they haven't got you a priority ( exactly how we are feeling ATM) put it back on them and ask how many other builds they have got going and ask why yours hasn't been progressing as fast as others. Maybe our money isn't needed or is it because we are out of town and bigger builds that vary from the usual plans it's to confusing for the tradies and ordering, that's why everything we upgraded or changed on the usual plan we had to fight to get I don't know I just can't fathom their reasoning. We haven't been out to ours all week as I don't want to be disappointed again. Chin up get your cranky pants on and give him what for tomorrow. Call them out on there franchise promise or mission statement, every company has one.

GJ Gardner promises like "We want your home build to be memorable for all the right reasons" and "Building your own home should be fun, exciting and memorable" definitely don't reflect the experience we've had so far.
