Oh no, that’s no good peast! From conversations with the SS I think it’s the lock up carpenter that straightens the walls ready for lock up? Are you doing a pre plaster inspection too?
Our house is wrapped but hasn’t progressed any further towards hebel or lock up...have been really patient till now but starting to get really frustrated 😬 Will wait to see how they work through fixing all the next lot of items listed on our darbecca report from today...

They’ve also done the pre plaster for us today too so you’ll get a look at that too. Hope it all goes well! Hey Katgalle, sounds like we are in the same boat, waiting for rectifications to proceed to Hebel. How can they do pre-plaster inspection if your not at lock up?

So disappointed that a significant number of items picked up in our original frame inspection (at the start of December 😬😬) still haven’t been addressed! jnfortunaley not giving us a whole heap of faith at the moment, although have got Arden over the line to cover a few of the costs where this is unfairly impacting us. Have to hang onto the small wins! I’ll PM you our report now. Fingers crossed for some smooth and productive progress peast and ezza78!! Well if they r not fixing frame issues till now for you - then looks like I might as well pack my bags for a world tour because it took them 2 and half months to start frames and to fix will again take more or less the same time looks like Further update, it looks like like plumbing and electrical has started - saw vans outside Whirlybird done on roof and eva unit frame dropped off follow my build Arden homes Votivo 37 iin south east: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=88622 Re: Building Arden homes Votivo 37 in South East 296Feb 21, 2018 9:23 am pEast katgalleSo peast ... we just received our combined slab/frame/pre plaster report back from Darbecca and yet again it’s awful!

Otherwise they’ll push it too the side, forget about it and deal with the reports they’re being hassled about. I’ve asked for a written reply + photos to confirm defects have been fixed. Considering your build is well and truly moving along, any defects hopefully will be fixed in an acceptable timeframe. If it takes a few weeks to correct defects now rather than months to deal with issues post handover. I know which one it’d take. Keep the photos coming pEast. 03 Jul 2016 1,232 VIC Gold Member Re: Building Arden homes Votivo 37 in South East 297Feb 22, 2018 9:15 am On 21/02/18 Eva unit, solar and electrical and plumbing work going on Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ follow my build Arden homes Votivo 37 iin south east: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=88622 03 Jul 2016 1,232 VIC Gold Member Re: Building Arden homes Votivo 37 in South East 298Feb 22, 2018 9:20 am Further received frame report and it contains the usual overhand problem because they have poured the slab 50mm short at a couple of places, not used corrected fasteners at some places.
