So we had our PCI almost 8 weeks ago and still dont know when we will have handover. We are about 1 month over contract and they have been in construction for over 13 months now. I know its not as bad as some of your experiences i've been reading on here, but I'm 7 months pregnant and we are still renting whilst paying mortgage waiting to move in - terrible waste of money and stress for me who is about to stop earning income. Any advice on what we can do to hurry it along? Is the $50 per day standard in the Masterton contracts? I haven't read mine to find out how much they should reimburse us, and when do they pay you the penalty? Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 14512May 14, 2018 10:31 am Biggest me stake OUR PAIN IS REAL 12 months on and our roof is not complete What a struggle, no sleep, M will pay $50 dollars a working day if the contract expires which won’t pay for 1 days rent so be prepared for a total build time of 18 - 24 months This is actually not 100% correct,. Masterton will only pay $50 per working day (Mon - Fri) that they exceed the contracted date minus wet weather dates and public holidays. Public holiday are fairly straight forward although they have a large time off from Dec to Mid Jan, Wet weather dates is where Masterton really sting you. For every 1 day of wet weather they can claim 3 days of unworkable days. They also dont have to notify you when there is a wet weather day. We calculated that based on their contract proposal of 18 months, they could in theory take 30 months without pay any penalty. Hence we pulled out of any agreement. Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 14513May 14, 2018 9:11 pm Biggest me stake we at 12 months Have you had any building inspections to determine the impact on building materials after such a long period without protection from elements? 12 months is extreme in the best of cases and most manufacturers warranties will not cover product for anywhere near this length of time. Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 14514May 25, 2018 8:28 am Hi everyone! So we FINALLY had our final inspection on wednesday! Does anyone know what the Masterton contract states about the occupancy certs? My site manager argues that they include ONE inspection only so i have to pay to get both interim and full OC. The office lady said in email that M cover ONE certificate - the interim certificate. Can anyone shed some light? Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 14515May 25, 2018 10:26 am Saltwater, M organised our interim OC because of pending works which are not included in the contract. Then we paid for full OC after completing remaining works. If everything is completed then M should get full OC for you.

Thanks Aaron, everything is not completed as we have to do landscaping, etc. I'm pushing for M to cover the interim OC which the site manager said no to but I think he's incorrect. All he has done so far was get an inspection done which came back with a list of things M still had to do to get interim OC, so only makes sense that they get it for us once they've completed their tasks!

When did you build and get your interim OC and was it essential certifiers that did the certification inspection etc? Did your site supervisor organize everything in regards to the interim OC for you or did you have to press them for it ? We are a few weeks out from PCI and unsure of what the process will be when we get to PCI and OC details. Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 14519May 31, 2018 8:39 am Hey there.. it's been a long time since ive posted, or even looked at this thread. We're nearing the completion of our Villina Grande build, and everything has been smooth sailing until these last final weeks.. we had PCI 2 weeks ago, supposed to have final expection today, which was cancelled merely an hour ago - which is great when ive taken the day off work and all for it.. but my question is, to those who have completed their build. What time frame was taken between PCI and final inspection? AND, at what point was your carpet installed?
