To me, it sounds like the builders don't pay the painters enough money or they don't give them enough time and they have to rush. It would be so much easier and cheaper if it was done right the first time. Especially when you are spending so much money. maybe they just use inexperienced apprentices and not supervised for that... so no wonder it's not up to scratch Re: Coral Homes general build thread 10697Mar 30, 2018 4:42 pm Anand C Hi All, Just wondering what happens on PCI day. Our house is locked up and we are not able to view how the house looks from inside to find the defects. So, what happens on PCI day actually. On PCI day, do they give us the whole day to find the defects and at the end of the day report it to our SS or how does it work. Can anyone give like a walkthrough as what happens on that day. Thank you I'm also interested, if anyone can answer please that would be much appreciated!

We just started at the front of the house inside, cause it was pouring. Went room by room with tape for any paint issues or any other damage. Tested every PowerPoint/light switch making sure everything worked. Opened every door and window etc, then walked around the entire outside of house, marked everything that needed fixing. Came back inside, ss had a form on his iPad, outlining all the issues. Gave us our handover date. Took about 2.5 hours for us. But I had also ran into our ss the week before, pointed out issues and he had already fixed them. Re: Coral Homes general build thread 10699Mar 30, 2018 5:45 pm Artfromhart Ryan2007 What an utter disappointment! 3hr inspection and our staircase needs to be sanded back once again and re stained, bathroom draft wall needs to be pulled out and redone including timber screens and front porch to be completely ripped out redone and not to mention our metre box is in the wrong position and the tank is too close that you can’t even open it! These are just the bigger issues. It’s been just one big roller coaster of constant disappointment. We still won’t get in our home for another 4 weeks minimum. I’m just gutted. Oh dear, so sorry to hear that... hang in there, you've waited this long so it'll all be better once you're in! May I also ask which city/suburb are you building in? We are on the coast. I hope so too You should check your detail drawings, it may show downpipe within brick pier. 14 14126 Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 13781 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish. So ask… 1 4360 |
