Super exciting. But that also means it’s time to get the builders back through for the post handover inspection. For piece of mind, we have arranged for K-Spec to come through and prepare a report. The closer we look at things, the worse the finishes look. The only major defect that we have come across is the grout in our main shower. It has been used a handful of times and the grout has mysteriously washed away. The driveway is terrible. Rocks missing from the aggregate and where it meets the road where the gutter has been cut, there seems to be erosion. We were worried that this might happen after seeing the sh!tty finish when it was laid. Water pools instead of flowing down the gutter. The painting is terrible. They have cut in around frames and what not with a brush but sprayed the walls. I’m not certain the right amount of coating has been applied. The brush and spray work leave different textures. Any spots that have been “fixed” are very obvious and not flush. There is a crack on our bench top from the splash back windowsill. The outside tile flashings are cracked! No surprise as this was dodgied up on handover and we told them this would happen. Some smaller things, paint on carpet, nail sticking up under carpet, lock on bathroom door never worked, data point in media has never worked. We have gone room to room making notes. We love our home. Once you are in you realize that there are things you would have done differently - pushed the toilet back, changed bed WIR to standard robe under eaves, put PowerPoints in different spots, insulation in the walls, that kind of thing CMA has given us a beautiful home and we don’t regret our decisions, but there is definitely room for improvement from our journey. I sure hope they have implemented some change in the last 11 months Stay tuned for post handover review.... Building our forever home!
