Fingers crossed it's not 100% finished and you've just seen it half way through with more yet to be completed on it. Out of interest have you engaged the services of any third party inspection reports or anything like that during your build? We're using Houspect for reports at various stages and just got our Pre-Lining inspection done yesterday, all I can say is wow, so many defects. We'll be asking for everything on the report to be fixed up and then re-inspected by Houspect again before any insulation or drywall goes up that's for sure.

No we haven’t used a third party up until now. We will be getting a handover inspection. Supposedly Rawson are supposed to have an independent inspection done for you. I went around with our SS yesterday and did our mark up and then the independent people come in sometime today or tomorrow and also go over it. I spoke to the SS about it and he has just told them it has to come out and be done again but done the way he told them to do it. The painters are due back so it was to be painted BUT that thing in the picture was complete. As you said gaps at both ends, gap between the wall, etc. SS was as shocked as us.
