Browse Forums Building A New House Re: New home build - Custom Design WA 198May 09, 2020 7:18 pm We had our second PCI this week, and had the same issues with the bath taps and paintwork. We're hoping to have it all sorted by the end of next week. Our timber flooring was allowed to go ahead, and it looks great so far - very dark just as we intended. We're lucky we have a lot of natural light otherwise the colours could have been overwhelming. The finishing on the installation had been very neat, and the thresholds between tiled and timber areas are seamless. Overall the house has a very masculine vibe, which is a fresh change from the Hamptons style home we are in at the moment.

There are still a few things that arent up to standard, but with school and post Covid normality returning we reluctantly decided to have them fixed post handover. The walk in robe fitout is almost finished - we went with basic white to match the ensuite cupboards. The amount of dust in to house is overwhelming, we're going to spend a lot of time cleaning this next week!

Today they sent plasterers to fix bad plastering in the stairwell. This involved them scraping off all the white set and completely replastering. Photo shows the "after and before". We have quite a few unresolved plumbing issues, including a leaking connection to the mains, sewer odours from floor wastes and drainage issues. I've lost confidence in their plumbers and am thinking we may need to get our own.
