Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Fairhaven Homes 480Apr 07, 2019 5:18 pm Hi All, I have been browsing this forum and this topic in particular for the past year. I signed up with Fairhaven to build the tathra 350 early last year and the house was handed over a few weeks ago. Construction started July/August last year. My SS was quite easygoing and accommodating, fixing issues that came up during the build. I also had independent inspections along the way and he rectified most of the issues that were picked up as well. My advise for those currently building with them is to visit the site as much as possible to identify any problems and let the SS know (during the stage, I had an opening to the WIR blocked off and one of my door in the wrong position). All in all, it was a good build but the cleanliness of the house can be improved during handover and there are still some outstanding issues. I was happy with the build last week when the house was handed over but I just realised that the air-con condenser unit is covering the termite refill point (see attached photo). For obvious reasons, I am worried about this but the SS said that its fine this way. Do anyone who have build with them have this problem as well? I also just hand landscaping done and have a concrete path around the house and I am wondering if I will need to have the termite barrier thing applied again. It will be great if someone that did concrete path after handover can let me know. Thanks.
