It was our BC. She couldn’t get the invoices right and supply the documents the bank manger needed. So if it’s not one it’s the other. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Metricon Winchester 28- So Close Now.... 1088Oct 26, 2018 12:55 pm Doulton777 blackcat20 Hoping for keys next Friday.

Still going and it is only a tiny single storey with 90 m2 of living space Re: Metricon Winchester 28- So Close Now.... 1091Oct 27, 2018 9:33 am Mr. Sausage blackcat20 Wild Congrats blackcat,: How long did take all up from the construction start date to the occupancy permit ? 5 months 14 days. I am jealous. I'm 5 months into mine. Still going and it is only a tiny single storey with 90 m2 of living space /quote]I think the worst bit is the build was finished in four months. It's been six weeks since PCI. Re: Metricon Winchester 28- So Close Now.... 1092Oct 27, 2018 6:49 pm Yep, it is ridiculous how some builds progress. Some seem to gather all their momentum right near the end and it is a crazy sprint to the finish. Yours went really well but instead enters the twilight zone right near the end. This is what is frustrating me as well. I got my fixing stage completion invoice back in August. So we've been at the completion stage now getting on for 9 weeks now. And not only am I not getting updates, but I don't even have any handover date at all. And they've probably done four days work over that 9 weeks, excluding the driveway and paths. All for a tiny house about a third the size of the average building project on these forums. You'd think these builders would want their money since for the most part, it's that completion payment where all their profits lie. Up to that point, all your payments are mostly just paying their bills and the running costs of their business.

Re: Metricon Winchester 28- So Close Now.... 1096Oct 29, 2018 10:30 am Hey guys does anyone know if you can get your initial deposit back? Nothing was done as in soil test etc.... only colour selection. And that hasn’t been finalised. It’s not for me as I finished my build. And any advice on how to get it back if they hesitate? Cos I believe you stil be able to get it back in soil test or contracts hasn’t been done. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Metricon Winchester 28- So Close Now.... 1097Oct 29, 2018 10:39 am Doulton777 Hey guys does anyone know if you can get your initial deposit back?

M initially sold us the house which wouldnt fit on our block and when I asked for the refund, they denied stating the same thing. I really didn't push them because I didnt want to walk away at that stage.
