Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Coral Homes Daydream 28 Far North Coast NSW 171Mar 26, 2019 8:42 am End of week 19 (22 weeks since build started) This weeks progress: - Coral Homes QA audits - Pre-handover walkthrough - Independent audit - I surrounded the house with 4.5 tonne of metal dust as a temporary measure to slow down the red dirt splashing onto external walls and being trodden onto external concrete and inside the house. - I brush cut and sprayed out the entire block in prep for landscaping. Issues: QA audits found only minor imperfections requiring attention before handover. The most significant are the need to adjust the height of a tile threshold ramp to meet flooring level off the toilet, replace a window panel that has more scratches on it than allowed by the standards. The rest is pretty much just touching up painting and installing a fly screen to the family stacked slider. The occupation certificate has also been delayed due to the certifier being understaffed. Its almost a wrap with handover tentatively scheduled for 1st April (pending occupation certificate followed by final payment). No photos this week. I'll save that until handover. Re: Coral Homes Daydream 28 Far North Coast NSW 172Mar 29, 2019 10:41 am Have you had communication from your ss about how they are going with fixing the items on colin’s list? Just wondering if I should be expecting to be told as they fix things or even once a week. Re: Coral Homes Daydream 28 Far North Coast NSW 173Mar 29, 2019 12:14 pm Hi Tash, there has been progress through this week. Most items on the PC report and the independent inspectors report are being addressed this week. The painter, tiler and cleaner should be in today and my SS has indicated that there are one or two remaining items have been ordered. Handover for Monday is confirmed. Yipeee! Re: Coral Homes Daydream 28 Far North Coast NSW 176Mar 29, 2019 6:07 pm Last question I promise 😁😬 for tonight anyway 😂 when did you send of the paperwork to the bank? I’ve been lead to believe I need to wait until they have fixed all the items on my list. Re: Coral Homes Daydream 28 Far North Coast NSW 177Mar 29, 2019 8:10 pm Hi Tash. My lender needed an occupation certificate before they would make the final payment. Once they had that it only took just under 48 h for funds to clear. re : shelves on island bench. No. Shelves were an upgrade that we requested. Re: Coral Homes Daydream 28 Far North Coast NSW 178Apr 02, 2019 6:46 am End week 20 (23 weeks since build start date). That's a wrap. We've got the keys and handover is done. Now the real work begins, as does the 13 week maintenance period. Would I build with Coral Homes again? Yes. Coral Homes' process wasn't perfect, and there remains minor imperfections to the finishes, but we never entered into this expecting perfection. Building is a complex process and despite all the science behind the engineering and materials used there remains variability in the performance of these. Some of the minor imperfections relate to choices that we made or factors that we overlooked - but we can easily live with all of them. We are satisfied with the final product and myself and my family are looking forward to creating happy memories in our new home. Handover done!
