All progress pics are in the first post - https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=89917&p=1761154#p1761154 Re: Building Grange 25 Coral Homes - Northern NSW 529Jul 30, 2018 11:30 pm  CC7what was in your tile selections? if the grey wasn't stated in there, the standard is white on the walls (here with Coral QLD anyways) so you can make them re do it. as it would be their stuff up. It was white in our contract. But we brought super white grout and asked the tiler to use the super white. But we never brought or asked for grey. I’m pretty sure he did it to pee us off. Because he constantly complained about our tile layout and selections. And was trying to get more money out of us. But we put our foot down and complained to our ss. Then when we saw this today we rang the tiler and he was like oh well it’s too late now. And didn’t care less that he made a mistake. Hmm I smell a rat.

Bring it up with your SS as it’s not to the plans, the tiler will want to do as little work as possible to make his day easier, mistakes can happen sometimes but this is something you’ll see everyday so chat to the SS. One of our tiles got chipped/wrong sized towel rails installed and damaged ones were cut out and redone (our ss told us about this at PCI, we had no clue) so it can be done.

Thanks CC7, I’ll call my SS tomorrow. And hopefully get it sorted so we don’t have to do it. Re: Building Grange 25 Coral Homes - Northern NSW 533Jul 31, 2018 2:24 pm mj-mac4I spoke to my SS this morning. He was pretty peed off that the tiler stuffed up. He said the timer will have to fix it as it says white on our contract. Phew! 😅🙌🏼 YAY! yep it's meant to be white, so technically they gotta do it like that. Didn't want you guys doing it yourself, it would probably take double the time than it would the tiler can't wait to see it pop with the white Re: Building Grange 25 Coral Homes - Northern NSW 534Jul 31, 2018 5:35 pm CC7 mj-mac4I spoke to my SS this morning.

It sounds like he purposefully messed it up, but I'm glad he has to fix it now - no extra money for him either! Your build is looking great. Not long now!

Everything has slowed down. So hopefully things will pick up soon. Painting has been delayed to this coming Monday. And is estimated to take 1.5 weeks. How is your build coming along? 😊 Re: Building Grange 25 Coral Homes - Northern NSW 540Aug 03, 2018 3:52 pm Glad theyre going to fix the grout for you. Same, I worry that cladding/render will require some maintenance, and replacement eventually. Bricks will be the last standing component in a build. 2 7557 For those thinking about building with Coral - Rotated through 5 different supervisors - Had to personally point out missing/wrong items during the building process -… 0 26443 You are correct they should have picked this up prior to construction, but unfortunately you are between a rock and a hard place now.
