I just caught up with your thread and I'm sorry to hear you are still having issues with those bricks.
Just out of curiosity, what or how can they fix it? re-brick or render or monetary compensation?

Since this conversation with our SS, Big M has now sent a us two invoices one last week that afternoon after I had spoken to my SS and another this week asking for final payment and saying we have no right to be holding payment as house is complete, this is without us having a second inspection to see if all defects have been rectified. Finally we are having our second inspection 36 days after the first PCI. We’ve had to get our independent inspector in to do a follow-up inspection as we feel the builder hasn’t completed all points from our inspectors’ first inspection report, with the most noticeable defects are the bricks and also to check if all the defects we marked with red dots have been fixed. I have no problem with giving the builder there money, but it looks like they have a problem with fixing our house. We want our house, but only when all defects are fixed, surely this isn't too much to ask for. Good on you for standing your ground [i]We built in Point Cook and are loving our new house. Re: Building with Big M in Marriott Waters - PCI No.2 7/7/10 134Jul 09, 2010 8:48 pm Big M have until Tuesday to have the house completed and free of defects as the builder told me by Tuesday the house will be completed and expect handover. There will be no handover until I say so. I will go on Tuesday afternoon to inspect the house and if it's not completed or at a satisfactory level I'll be seeking legal advise. Enough is enough Builder; Big M Design; Soho 32 Facade; Ascent Blog; http://mickeyb-soho.blogspot.com Trend; viewtopic.php?f=31&t=23990 Re: Building with Big M in Marriott Waters - PCI No.2 7/7/10 135Jul 09, 2010 9:53 pm mickeyb Big M have until Tuesday to have the house completed and free of defects as the builder told me by Tuesday the house will be completed and expect handover.

Re: Building with Big M in Marriott Waters - PCI No.2 7/7/10 136Jul 09, 2010 9:56 pm You could also send an email direct to the managing director and the owner and tell them your concerns and that you are taking legal action. I did this, but it was after handover (I settled on the priviso that the defects would be fixed as I couldn't hold out for my house after the 11 months it took to build it). All I wanted was my defects fixed. It got them moving If you want the email addresses ive got them. Re: Building with Big M in Marriott Waters - PCI No.2 7/7/10 137Jul 10, 2010 8:53 pm Wow MickeyB, I feel for you but also congratulate you on standing up for what you feel is right!!! I understand where you are coming from. I was the first to start on my side of the street and everyone has now moved in. Most didn't have their slabs down until January and they have beaten me! I had my 1st PCI on Monday 28th and there where so many dots around my house it was hard to see the paint! Then 6 days later they are sending me the final invoice with the 7 day clause stamped all over it!! I emailed it to my broker and I told her that under no circumstance are they to pay the builder until I say so!!! I can't hold off like you, but I want to make it clear I'm not going to be pushed. I will allow my builder to fix my nougat problem after I move in, but I will be drawing up my own contract and they will be signing that document promising me that it will get fixed within 3 monts of me moving in! I need to move in within the next 2-3 week no if buts or maybes....I wish I could hold off Good luck! I'll have my fingers crossed for you on Tuesday!
