Hi Are you charged for any of the PCV and btw, what is building variations and are they chargable (if you dont mind me asking). Cheers Re: contract appt?? any hints and suggestions?? 14Mar 22, 2008 9:49 am My advice... GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING!!!
If they offer you something or tell you something and you can't see it clearly on the contract then refuse to sign it's written down. I don't have experience with PD but my builder (Adenb***k) promise you the world but never deliver. Re: contract appt?? any hints and suggestions?? 15Mar 22, 2008 9:53 am As one member of this forum advised me in the past, i think it might be Casa, do not sign the contract on spot. read it at home, take sometime. You will be surprised, even after this, you might have forgotten something.
Try to ask to supply the price for your additions/accessories you want. goodluck Re: contract appt?? any hints and suggestions?? 16Mar 22, 2008 2:12 pm I absolutely agree with Southbris
1. Get everything in writing... everything they offer you... I have learnt my lesson... my project builder agreed to give me an extension of tme on a special package which is no longer offered. When the tender arrived he did give it to me but jacked up the price by $2000. He agreed to have the price reduced by $1000 if I signed the tender in two days. I still didnt learn! My SC said that she would make handwritten changes to the tender there were measurement errors as it could not be typed up in one day and would refund me the cheque if I was not fully happy with the tender which would be ready in three days time. So i did sign 7/03 and they keep saying the tender is not ready .. it is with the estimator!! Generally she has had tenders ready in about 3-4 days... prior to me paying the deposit. ( the cheque was cashed after two days!!) Sorry to write my long story but its worth remembering and i am a bit upset at the moment. Also its a really good idea to get your solicitor to look at everything and measure it all up. double checking electrical plans, inclusions,windows etc. There is info on all this on this forum... Good luck Raz If you think you can, you can. Re: contract appt?? any hints and suggestions?? 17Mar 24, 2008 10:44 pm TOTALLY!!! get EVERYTHING in writing.
Go prepared and have a list of any questions/concerns you have. Because if you don't pick it up, they wont. We had a promo pack that gave us overhead cupboards in the kitchen with a slideout hood. We wanted a range hood instead of the slide out and our sales person said that was ok when we signed up. But when we got to the contract, i noticed in the drawings there was no overhead cupboards!! when i questioned it, our csr said that the promo says "slideout hood" and the cupboards ONLY came with the slideout...lets just say im not happy jan!!!!! we're waiting on prices to come back to see how much the cupboards will cost seperately.... but the point is...get everything in writing!!
