They’ve done nothing since though so who knows. It’s frustrating being so close but still so far.... Yeah I remember 😩, I hope mine doesn’t... SS assured us it would be by next Wednesday, but still no word... will wait and see! Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 508Nov 15, 2019 11:45 am On Monday it will be 7 weeks since PCI!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
M promise us we will have keys next week – which had better happen as we have pushed our carpet install back twice and now need to get it installed week after next or we cannot get it done before Christmas! Just a heads up to those who have not yet had PCI – M have changed their policies re-handover… Any defects identified at PCI must now be fixed before handover. This is why all handover timelines are blowing out way beyond what they used to. They are no longer allowed to address any of these items after you have moved in, during the three month review. While it is great that they are fixing all the issues we found, it is hard when we were never advised of this timeframe earlier and have arranged settlement of our current house and moving schedules for end of this month. We would’ve thought two months after PCI will be plenty of time! Anyway, that is my whinge for the day. After escalating my concerns to our SS’s supervisor who is absolutely lovely, he assures us we will have keys early next week.

We will do that. 😀 Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 511Nov 15, 2019 2:23 pm Super frustrating with current house settlement and carpet install! Fingers crossed for all to be fine as promised by SS, sounds like he is under pressure. Interesting that M made that change??!! Will affect a LOT of builds, you'd think? https://thomasarcherbuild.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html - Thomas Archer Homes - Custom Nouveau 41 Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 512Nov 15, 2019 2:25 pm Blacktea2sugars Super frustrating with current house settlement and carpet install!

It is definitely going to affect all builds. It will delay all handovers - but if people know they can organise the settlement to suit. Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 513Nov 18, 2019 7:18 pm Don't be upset about PCI issues being fixed before handover... We're still waiting for some items to be fixed. And we're currently stuck at the warranty manager, with a service advisor who doesn't answer her phone, nor return emails Our Bayside KDR Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78298 Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 514Nov 18, 2019 7:29 pm blackcat20 shokel1975 On Monday it will be 7 weeks since PCI!!

Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 515Nov 18, 2019 7:32 pm whoa Prob best to get everything sorted first then. I'd imagine that minimises what is required at 3 month inspection? https://thomasarcherbuild.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html - Thomas Archer Homes - Custom Nouveau 41 Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 516Nov 18, 2019 8:16 pm Kimmykim blackcat20 shokel1975 On Monday it will be 7 weeks since PCI!!

Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 517Nov 18, 2019 8:21 pm I am very happy that they are fixing everything. What I am not happy about is the lack of communication, updates re dates of handover etc. Also, when it takes 7 weeks and things still aren’t finished, it is pretty hard to do regular drive bys and see no one onsite 4 days out of 5 every week. That is what we are pi55ed about. Anyway, still hopeful for keys this week.

Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 519Nov 19, 2019 6:46 am blackcat20 Kimmykim Same as our case. They won't fix anything after handover when our SM told us we could lodge in the portal. We also argued with them as most of the issues were after final inspection so they agreed to fix most of them. I guess maybe that's the reason they don't allow anymore. Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 520Nov 20, 2019 7:16 pm 2 weeks short of 2 years since we bought our land....
