Or were they just waiting on that confirmation? Lucky you went down to visit, would’ve been a bit scary to see it wide open, 🤞🏻 For you that he kinda has that all booked in for those three days before hand, hope they are the right handles would be pretty annoying if they aren’t, Does the cheque speed up the process of hand over? I need to kinda start thinking about that, hoping that your PCI sticks to Thursday! No install date just yet, once the approvals are done they will contact me to organise this but it will be tricky to pick a date at this point. They are also doing my downlights so it will probably be a 2 day job. I am hoping to have them in for the 11th of June at the latest but depending on when i get my invoice and sign it off i am hoping i could book it for 7/8th June Agreed, i locked it after i left as at 10:30 in the morning if someone was going to be working on the house on a saturday, i'm sure they would've been there already. Everything was already booked for this past 2 weeks and somehow everything has not got done. So i'll keep my fingers crossed too that it can be done in 3 days. I believe so. When they do an electronic transfer it usually takes between 2-4 days to clear i believe. If you organise a cheque the bank basically approves payment, organises the cheque, you collect from the branch and get keys same day. Re: First Build with Summit Perth WA 330May 26, 2018 11:18 pm I can see how doors can get left unlocked but wide open, lucky you were up for a visit. Hopefully the fill-in SS has your flooring and blinds booked for early next week, talk about cutting it fine.

Hopefully the fill-in SS has your flooring and blinds booked for early next week, talk about cutting it fine. My usual SS already had everything booked in before he went away & it has been smooth sailing until this point, which is why i didn't expect any of these issues to arise. I do hope the relief SS has at least followed up on these things to ensure everything that has been delayed is to happen early this week. At least what is to be done aren't things that rely on someone else to finish something first. I can see myself going out everyday this week to check on progress haha!

Maybe the fill-in SS decided to delay the F&B installs until the power run was sorted knowing that the paving was going to be lifted.

Maybe the fill-in SS decided to delay the F&B installs until the power run was sorted knowing that the paving was going to be lifted. If he did that i would be more than a little confused. The driveway paving/power issue wouldn't effect the flooring, blinds or garage i wouldn't have thought. Doesn't matter now, can't change any of it. Fingers crossed for a smooth couple of days and the PCI thursday Re: First Build with Summit Perth WA 334May 28, 2018 7:35 pm Today was progress day & now i can say I AM EXCITED! Garage in, rangehood installation nearly finished & blinds in. Just waiting on flooring, painting and rangehood to be completed. I'm trying to work out if the garage door is dented or if it is lighting/dirt so will need to have a good look at that over the next couple of days. Happy lady tonight!

The flooring only arrived today at the warehouse and will be laid tomorrow...and thursday. I ended up meeting the SS at the house and we went through and basically did a mini PCI without intending too as this was the first time he was able to get to the house since his break. He wanted to reschedule until next wednesday which we discussed at length before i decided to still have PCI thursday. At the end of the day, it is only carpet, which will be getting laid during my PCI and if i have any issues i will bring them up. He said he didn't want to present the house to me unfinished but if that is what i wanted he was okay to go ahead. To me i figure i know the carpet is going in and i know the house is going to be cleaned on wednesday so when i get the keys, the house will be complete & in good order. In doing a mini PCI we have already picked up that pavers in the driveway need to be replaced as they are chipped, the air con company have to come back and put the fuse in the switch box which is happening tomorrow, the front render needs to be fixed then painted, a blind which was installed is now MIA (assumed to not have been measured properly so needs to be refitted), they were working on the rangehood when i was there as there was a beam across where the exhaust pipe cover had to go, and a tile in the linen closet has to be put back into place. Painting will be done on Saturday due to the flooring delay. I received my final invoice today so this has also been sent off to CBA for processing. At this stage my SS thinks i should have keys next Friday which i will be thrilled with! Re: First Build with Summit Perth WA 337May 30, 2018 12:49 pm J278 Wahoo! So proactive of you, well done! My broker said 5-10 days for me at this stage. We will be getting keys around the same time Thanks! I feel (and I’m sure you do to) like I’m juggling 1000 things right now between work, pci and all the post key things to organise. How exciting! Have you had your valuation done yet?

I’m hoping CBA don’t get a valuer out until tomorrow arvo or Friday at the earliest just due to the house only being 99.9% done Re: First Build with Summit Perth WA 340May 30, 2018 4:01 pm Summitlovin J278 Summitlovin [quote="J278"]Wahoo!

The way the cheque works is that your broker or yourself can organise it to be done with CBA, then they message you confirmation of it being ready (all happed in one day, sent off the final invoice last Thursday). Then you can visit any CBA branch with your ID and they can write it up on the spot. hi guys. Please be nice. First time home builder in Qld.
