Simnds finally called and they said that the contract will be issued on 25-April-08... ANZAC day!!! At first we thought this is contract signing day... but it isn't. Finally they have set the contract signing on 29-April-08. Hope that most of the stuff in the contract is correct. It might might take another 2 months to correct if there are problems in the contract. When we asked why its taking this long... their reason in because we keep on adding options. According to them, the last option we added last 14-Feb-08 caused them to restart the drawing all over again. When I did some checking on what I added... it was a 3rd car garage... What the!?!? So adding the 3rd car garage made them decide to trash what they have started and start the drawing all over again.... nice!!! I was thinking... what if I requested to add a garden faucet... it might cause them to trash and re-start again... and another 2 months of wasted time waiting... really nice Just to makea point about this, an approach that some people have found sucessful in negotiating these rises down, Is to provide some workings to the builder, specifying… 4 81887 In fairness nobody gave a crap about the ACCC and the gag clauses continued in the pro forma templates of a few other builders after the ACCC took on Wisdom, and more… 19 73951 While i was across this behavior's pre appointing my (the builders) surveyor, I did tell the builder i was aware what they were doing and while i disagreed with it, they… 13 14651 |
