Just be firm and clear about your points which you have and don't budge. It will be interesting to see if they decide to stop progress... I have a feel it's worth reading through your contract again and maybe the HIA guidelines with Master builders qld. Might see what your rights and responsibilities are. Good idea! I'll have a read through tomorrow. They've put the skirting along the bottom of the wall so I'm thinking they're not going to take any of it away and replace it. Re: First Home :) Building with Dixon Homes 333Jun 18, 2017 11:02 pm Found you! I had a read through all looks to be going well besides the leak. I would want it fixed properly too not just a quick patch job. Love your selections thus far can't wait to see it all come together.

Thank you ABuild I'm hoping it gets fixed properly & now rather than later Re: First Home π Building with Dixon Homes 336Jun 19, 2017 10:57 pm Just catching up Flea, good on you for taking a firm stance. At the end of the day this is your home and their responsibility to you is to build a great quality home without any water damage. I hope they just fix it and move on and don't be difficult. Re: First Home π Building with Dixon Homes 337Jun 20, 2017 2:02 pm Thanks Shellu & Tribe, They're still going with the progress.... I'm guessing it's not getting replaced as they started painting today! Told them all I needed was something saying that it's ok & I want it in writing so hopefully that comes soon! To be honest I'm a little over it now. They didn't allow for our dishwasher in the kitchen bench so they said that would get fixed.... although now we will have a join in our bench top as apparently they don't make them any longer than 3m? Ours is 3.6 so it's going to have a join. I asked a few others in our estate what they had & yep all of them have a join wish that was something they told you when your doing the kitchen cause I might of made it into an island bench instead so it didn't have a join. And yesterday they sent us the fixing invoice that only leaves the practical completion one to go Re: First Home π Building with Dixon Homes 338Jun 20, 2017 4:34 pm Bugger they haven't put anything in writing for you yet fleabee. I would be sending emails daily until they get the hint and send a response or at least an acknowledgement. My bench top was 3.5m long in the last house and they put the join in the stone in the middle of the sink. I really didn't notice it that much, mind you they did a nice join. Have you seen any sign of your tiles and have they finished your kitchen yet? Hopefully the painters do a great job and remember to paint the top and bottom of your doors so that they don't swell and shrink with the weather changes! Then bring on the tiles.

I was told today that they have noted it down on their system.... I'm hoping that they put the join down near the wall side of the bench otherwise it'll look a bit funny 600 from the other end. No we haven't had any tiles yet that I know of but I have been told that they are due for delivery soon. Apparently our down pipes are getting done tomorrow and paint gets finished Thursday. Seems like it's all happening now I also rang our realestate today and asked what happens if we need to break our lease and she was great. Even asked if she was losing us already I know lots of people have bad experiences with realestate agents but ours has been amazing the whole time we have been with them. 11 40633 A quick update, we didn't have site start before Easter. Summit can't seem to give me a day when they are scheduled to begin, so I'm left with a vague "within 10-20… 4 26719 Can anyone give me any onfo on New Homes WA? Good or bad, hopefully good just need to know if my choice was good or not? Thanks β€οΈ 0 8855 |
