Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our Acacia Home 704Apr 03, 2018 5:45 pm They are really pushing for PCI for us, looks like SS were told to finish up our houses. I can only assume they have more houses to built. I do hope that more items will be completed by 27 th April for you. Build Thread : viewtopic.php?=31&t=81624 Re: Our Acacia Home 705Apr 03, 2018 5:53 pm I think you’re right shazaw, I know our SS is completely fed up with our build! A bit more care and attention and it would have been finished long ago! I have made a list of outstanding items to do/rectify. So far there are 32 jobs on the list I have made that I can see need doing. I’m sure there are many many more I have yet to notice and that doesn’t include all the paint touch up jobs around the house. Re: Our Acacia Home 706Apr 03, 2018 6:53 pm Good work on getting agreement on all those points trimum sort of makes me wish we had your SS, he admits fault and agrees to fix. Better if we didn’t have to point things out in the first place. Any word on how they will fix the floor?

Better if we didn’t have to point things out in the first place. Any word on how they will fix the floor? Yes that was raised too, SS said it will be fixed, the floor is very safe apparently and that the holes and divots will be filled and sanded. I sure hope he’s right! Re: Our Acacia Home 708Apr 07, 2018 9:47 am cat_dunc That's super sh*t. Can't believe such a lousy amount is even allowed in the contract. Im sure ours was similar and i scoffed at it. They wouldn't change it though. Would you take to social media to get it finished? if they dont repsond to you or something then write on their facebook page why not and do they take over a year to build everyone's houses??? It’s funny you should say that...I did put a critical remark on Burbank’s Instagram page a couple of weeks ago and I got a message asking for my job number so they could ‘look into things for me’ I haven’t done so at the moment as I don’t think they could do anything more right now but I will if they kick out more delays!

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This is the electric one Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ But not sure what this hole in the wall and white pipe is for?? The brown meter is the gas meter and the pipe would probably be the line they will use to connect the internet. They put that in to make it easier to install later. Although I am not sure why the huge hole?? Re: Our Acacia Home 712Apr 07, 2018 5:23 pm Woohoo! Yes we have huge hole for both electricity and NBN. Another example of different standards... our holes are not filled at all, but you guys have conduit for electricity. My Ss sucks Our Acacia Home 713Apr 07, 2018 6:35 pm This gas meter went in mid-February but wasn’t completely sure it was gas and forgot to ask SS. We have the hills hub in the garage so not sure what this wire and white pole will be connected to but will find out. In other news the damaged aircon unit has already been replaced, the caulking has been done at last and the rubbish cleared from the front so not sure if this means the driveway will be done this week. Don’t know if any of the jobs inside have been done though. Re: Our Acacia Home 714Apr 07, 2018 7:01 pm That white pole is a conduit and houses the draw string for your NBN fibre optic cable to be pulled through (by your supplier/NBN). The conduit should end up at the hills hub box Re: Our Acacia Home 715Apr 07, 2018 7:48 pm ehhc That white pole is a conduit and houses the draw string for your NBN fibre optic cable to be pulled through (by your supplier/NBN). The conduit should end up at the hills hub box Ah thanks that makes sense! Re: Our Acacia Home 716Apr 07, 2018 7:51 pm Hey trimum, are you meant to be 3phase Power. Hope I’m wrong but that circuit box looks like single phase (the single pole main switch - top left) Re: Our Acacia Home 717Apr 07, 2018 8:02 pm ehhc Hey trimum, are you meant to be 3phase Power. Hope I’m wrong but that circuit box looks like single phase (the single pole main switch - top left) No I understand we have single phase. Our contract says three phase aircon etc ‘if’ we have 3 phase power connected which we would have had to have upgraded to. We knew nothing about single or 3 phase power at contract or even during our electrical appointment and only learnt about it when shazaw was pointing it out with their build a few weeks ago. So we have single phase power, I guess that’s ok, we can’t change it now Re: Our Acacia Home 718Apr 07, 2018 8:08 pm Ok cool, another correct thing done. So awesome aircon was replaced so quickly Re: Our Acacia Home 719Apr 17, 2018 8:16 pm We told our SS yesterday that we would be pulling out of PCI next week if the two major jobs were not completed - the external painting and the driveway, he agreed. Today he sent a text to say the painting was starting today and he has someone to do the driveway next week and waiting to confirm a date. Hmmm wonder if it was the ultimatum, a complaint I made to them via social media or if it would have happened anyway ...! We already paid for somfy motors for the blinds.
