Re: How often do u talk to your SS (site supervisor) & for what? 31Oct 17, 2009 8:49 pm pharley Ari Bad form from the SS for being so rude and swearing...but seriously...do weekends not exist anymore? As a business owner I know how stressful it can be for customers to expect you to be working 24 hours, 7 days a week. Yeah, that's a good point. I rang him on a Saturday because I'd left a few messages on his Voicemail during the week and didn't hear back. If I need to call him again, I'll try to do it only on weekdays so I don't upset him further. It's just so frustrating when they don't return calls Call him back up, tell him to grow a pair, and inform him of who's paying his wages - YOU!

Heya bigred, It appears something has changed since then. He calls me now to give me progress updates and is extremely polite. He said there was a new policy to ensure better communication with customers. Perhaps sooooooo many customers complained that management HAD to do something about it. Or maybe they were reading through the Homeone forums Re: How often do u talk to your SS (site supervisor) & for what? 33Oct 18, 2009 1:31 pm Hehehe so in other words, he doesn't want to call you, he just has to coz otherwise he gets sacked.

As long as they call what difference does it matter why? It's not like they are going to just call to have a chat, so yeah it's their job and that's why they do it 'A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.'

Nah - I don't think that's a good idea before handover. Those tradies are sub-contracted by (or employees of) the builder. If you pressure them to do something off-plan for cash, they may well do it - but then they may well get the sack or lose all further contract work with the builder if the change is discovered. Feel free to take their contact details for post-handover work though.
