It’s looking fantastic Looks great fee. What are you doing for the windows and doors downstairs? Shutters and roller blinds for the kitchen splash back and big back window. Hopefully being installed tomorrow Re: Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 MK1 St George Area NSW 171Mar 25, 2018 7:42 am shazaw Make sure your have plenty of blue stickers with you. Just in case you needs to pin point defects. Good luck with PCI. Build Thread : viewtopic.php?=31&t=81624 Our SS and private inspector used that 3m blue painters tape. Get one of those rolls too refund it at Bunnings if you don’t use it Re: Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 MK1 St George Area NSW 172Mar 27, 2018 7:09 pm When they installed the blinds it highlighted that the big back window is bowed. The blinds are two fingers apart at the top and three apart at the bottom. I wonder what they will say tomorrow at PCI??? Re: Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 MK1 St George Area NSW 174Mar 27, 2018 8:00 pm Good luck with PCI! Does the window operate without problems? Re: Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 MK1 St George Area NSW 175Mar 28, 2018 11:49 am ehhc Good luck with PCI! Does the window operate without problems? Hey guys had PCI today and Rawson think it will take 4weeks to do everything on my list We had our private Inspector through and he will send a report through hopefully tonight. Luckily we gained access to the house on Sunday because our shutter man was there installing shutters. We took 5hrs to go through the house then and write notes and put blue tape everywhere. The hour and a half Rawson spent with us today wouldn’t have located many issues. The SS said all of our points were valid and he would rectify the six pages of dot points. I forgot to take a photo of the back window but it is a fixed window. They said they will “take a closer look”. I am very torn because I really want to get in the house but I expect it to be of a high quality finish....

I know it’s sucks to have to wait but I’ve heard so many stories of people taking the keys and saying it can be fixed later and it taking months and months for the issues to be resolved.

Be prepared to go over 4 weeks. That's what I'm expecting for my PCI. 6 pages is very long. As I say hubby and I spent 5hrs going over the place with a fine tooth comb. It will be interesting to see what the private inspectors report states. They actually said 3 weeks, so I am hoping 4 🤞🏻 Re: Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 MK1 St George Area NSW 179Mar 28, 2018 8:09 pm That’s good you had the extra time at the weekend, great idea! I’ve been keeping a log of things I see every time I go to the house, I’m always finding things but at PCI I want to take my time going through absolutely everything. Not sure about a private inspector for PCI we used one at pre linings stage and he was excellent but not sure about doing it again at PCI would really like to hear your opinion of your inspectors PCI reports. Another question for all of you at PCI stage, have you organised your occupation certificate yet? How much notice will you be given for the keys as our bank want our occupation certificate before they give us the final cheque plus they will value the house, we need insurance and a few other things .

Hi Trimum, I just received the private inspectors report and he definitely has picked up on several things we would have missed. Things like balcony floor edging not done to code and the like. I certainly would recommend using one just for the piece of mind. It probably doesn’t pick up on everything but it is comprehensive. We haven’t organised our OC yet. First Rawson organise an interim living cert and then after we move in and do retaining walls etc we can organise our OC. I have been led to believe most banks only require the interim Cert and insurance.
