Re: Vanity Basins supplier delays 5Apr 05, 2009 8:33 am Thanks for all your replies. I will contact my builder tomorrow and ask if they can install our own basin or if we can upgrade to something better, we don't care as long as there'll be no more delays in the construction. What I'm furious about is that Simonds didn't offer any alternative. They just told us that there's a major supplier delay and that's it. What's that suppossed to mean, just let us wait 'til next Christmas or whenever the supplies come? Re: Simonds - Vanity Basins supplier delays 6Apr 05, 2009 10:52 am Oh no - this is the exact same as what I picked with Simonds... They start plaster this week so lets hoope they come in to stock soon. danceswwolves I will contact my builder tomorrow and ask if they can install our own basin or if we can upgrade to something better Re: Simonds - Vanity Basins supplier delays 7Apr 06, 2009 7:24 pm Cosmo above counter is Caromas biggest let down. A nice basin, popular, can't get it. Don't even get it specified because there is no guarantee you will see it at all. You can get a similar look with Imperial, I think it was. As for the Stylus one, it looks very much like the Leda vasque from Caroma. Don't know how supply is on it though sorry. Possumchops Now the proud owner of 3.7acres of Serenity.

Re: Simonds - Vanity Basins supplier delays 8Apr 08, 2009 7:56 am After a furious exchange of e-mails with my CSO and after discussing the issue with the Site Supervisor the vanity basins have finally been installed. The issue was escalated to the Construction Manager and they managed to get stocks from a different supplier with ours getting high priority. I guess it should since we are almost a week delayed from the original PCI date and the unavailability of the basins are holding off the plumbing fit offs. Props and kudos to Simonds for a job well done and for making this happen in a short span of time. It went to the point when I was suggesting that I supply them similar basins (from Caroma) but this wasn't needed after all.
