Darbecca have recommend we get them out again to do a re-inspection after these defects have been rectified by the builder. That's a fair few defects and some of them sound pretty big. Why didn't the SS get the slab sorted after that stage rather than waiting till you've had the floors laid, it would have saved everyone a lot of time and hassle? Hi Waldorf! I have been following your blog for a while and noticed you had PCI. Are you able to explain the process to me when also using a Private Inspector. We have PCI tomorrow but there are alot of items that are unfinalised. We are having Darbecca coming in too but they have advised to ensure the house is totally finalized before they do final inspection. I'm reluctant to sign anything tomorrow with our SS until Darbecca have done their final review as I'm concerned on being caught out.....what is the process here?? Yes we had PCI with site supervisor first and listed all our defects. Then Darbecca came through a few days later and made their list, there was a small amount of overlap but Darbecca looked mostly at building code and what wasn't compliant whereas I listed mostly cosmetic things. We signed the PCI document with the full understanding that there would be additional things added later. Now our site supervisor is organising trades to work through both lists before handover. no date set yet.[/quote] Oh thank you so much for the quick reply! You have put my Sunday brain at ease. Re: Building the Waldorf Grange by Porter Davis 654Feb 18, 2018 9:10 am Fingers crossed you don't have much longer to wait. Our SS is very confident we will have handover within 5 days of PCI. I am not so confident, I noticed a while ago that all our down pipes are wrong, they are zincalume and should be colourbond. They still haven't been changed. Re: Building the Waldorf Grange by Porter Davis 655Feb 19, 2018 7:44 pm We asked our site supervisor last week for an update on the defects being rectified from PCI. He has replied late last week: “I have the carpenter on site Saturday to tidy the internal Darbecca items, Floor levels under boards Monday/Tuesday Painters in Wednesday, Tilers Tuesday CSR Render are meeting there today. I have My boss on there case to have done by Thursday. Should have it all done by Friday” Re: Building the Waldorf Grange by Porter Davis 656Feb 19, 2018 7:45 pm Waldorf_Grange_Build We asked our site supervisor last week for an update on the defects being rectified from PCI.
