Full story - When we originally signed up with M we had this addition: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅
A couple of weeks ago I thought to triple check again that it is included, and to my surprise I was told evap isn't included! So for the last two weeks I have been asking for this to be added back in and that we had always paid for it. It turns out the electrical consultant deleted the item (no variation received for this) during our appointment and we never picked it up because we received our total variation as one figure with colours etc, so there was technically a $4k credit in there. The last correspondence was with the Construction Manager who said he will get back to me on Monday about the cost and if M would pay for any of it. Our frustration isn't that we are being asked to pay for it, it's that we had budgeted on the final figure we were given and all our finance is approval is on that amount. So now we are being asked to pay $4k out of pocket. Evap will now be added in (lucky we are only at frame stage), just have to wait and see how hard we can push for M to pay for it! Very frustrating to get such a big hit. Lets see what happens next week Fingers crossed for you elieassi1992 - I can’t believe how closely we need to cross check EVERYTHING with this mob.... you would think if it was in writing from the start, it would be pretty safe to assume it’s included in the build. From now on I will be checking everything! Re: Metricon - Glendale 39 HLE (Regional Vic) 85May 13, 2018 8:54 pm Thanks Shokel, we thought the same thing! Turns out they still delete and make amendments in the background without sending variations. Lucky we picked it up at the frame stage, not closer to the build finish Re: Metricon - Glendale 39 HLE (Regional Vic) 86May 17, 2018 8:13 pm Re: Metricon - Glendale 39 HLE (Regional Vic) 87Jun 13, 2018 7:02 pm Re: Metricon - Glendale 39 HLE (Regional Vic) 88Jun 13, 2018 8:25 pm Looking good!

Re: Metricon - Glendale 39 HLE (Regional Vic) 93Sep 09, 2018 7:43 pm Hey mate, just checking how did the flooring post handover went?? Would you share your experience please? Just curious to know if laying tiles with skirting and arcs on can be a problem?
