Anything up to a week has been standard for me prior to construction start. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 14957Sep 03, 2019 4:38 pm I got a private inspection done post out frame completion and thank god I did Wisdom seems to be cutting corners to get to a stage where they can issue an invoice The support columns are too short to support the steel beams. Nuts and bolts are missing that need to support the frames. Flat strips are not installed properly. This is just unacceptable Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 14958Sep 03, 2019 6:02 pm CS199 I got a private inspection done post out frame completion and thank god I did Wisdom seems to be cutting corners to get to a stage where they can issue an invoice The support columns are too short to support the steel beams.

This has decided this for us now!

This has decided this for us now! I would highly recommend to get private inspections done at regular stages from what I have seen so far. Its money well spent Have notified my site supervisor of the issues and awaiting confirmation that they have been fixed Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 14960Sep 04, 2019 6:40 pm Metricon used the same tactic with me and many others. Check your contract for what procedure you should follow if you need to dispute the next progress payment is due because they have not completed the works to the required building standard at this building stage. You don’t want them to cover up the defects with the gyprock. Also ensure everything is in writing, like any assurances from the site supervisor. Confirm your agreements with him as you may need this later. He will likely say whatever it takes to get you to pay the progress invoice and keep the job moving, regardless of quality. Check yourself the rectification work has actually been completed! Unfortunately most volume builders like Metricon do not have building quality assurance processes. This is too expensive for their business model and as long as customers keep paying its all ok for them. If you want reasonable quality it’s up to you to check the work and insist identified defects are rectified. Can someone please offer some advice? Im DESPERATE.
