Our friends are building with Gemmill and it has gone relatively smoothly (and quickly too). We have very similar tiles to you on our roof - and we are not happy with them at all. Badly laid, and covered in chips and cracks and warping, and they just haven't been painted properly from Bristile. There is far too much clay showing for them to go up with the paintbrush. Following an independent building inspection, we held back the progress payment as the roof is just not good enough. We are actually meeting with our SS, the construction manager and someone from Bristile tiles tomorrow so I'll let you know what they say. I put some photos on this thread: http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=29525&start=460 Building in Cockburn, WA, with Dale Alcock https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=29597 Siteworks 9 February 2010 Slab 15 February 2010 Bricks commenced 6 March 2010 Roof commenced 30 March 2010 BIR Submitted 14 May 2010 Lockup 27 May 2010 PCI 22 September 2010 Keys 8 October 2010 Roof finally finished 13 Oct Moved in 30 October 2010 Re: Building with Gemmill Homes - The Nevada 36Jul 13, 2010 5:29 pm Wow that is really ** work Koolsville! I hope they fix it all up for you. Henfry, have they given you an answer about what they're going to do about your roof?

Thanks for your reply. I'm been so busy for the past 2 weeks and haven't had a chance to inspect the house. My wife drove past just this week and said that the plasters done and the ceiling is in. With the roof, our CLO gave the reason that the roof is actually completed in 2 stages the "initial stage" and "completion stage". We have listed every single thing that was wrong with the roof at the time and including the pictures of it. They have then subsequently in writing confirmed that it will be rectified at the "roof completion stage". When we told them we are going to hold off the progress payment for the roof until the problems are rectified, they told us that they have completed the stage and we have to pay them. We have also in writing that the roof condition will not affect any later stages in case of severe weather conditions. I have saved every single conversation we had with them so in case they try to pull anything funny, we will have the evidence to present to DOCEP. So having them committed in writing that every chip, gap and cut will be fixed and it will not affect the integrity of the house in the interim we decided to proceed with the progress payment. Nonetheless, it will be great if you can update us on the outcome of your meeting. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

We have done exactly that. We have also looked at some of the houses in our area with the same roof. Apparently, they have a similar problem. I am hoping koolsville will be able to confirm this then we can determine the next course of action. @manda: Thanks for the advice. I hope so too. Thanks everyone.

Not happy with the chips and the uneverness of the way the tiles were laid. After the rain on the weekend the front part of our house was flooded again so its definetly not water tight!. We actually drove past your place and thought that your tiles looked slightly better than ours! We had a building inspector come out and look at our place on tuesday and he did confirm that the roof is done in two stages and they send someone back from bristile to change cracked tiles, fix up ridge capping and paint any of the surface chips. The painters also come in and paint the ridge capping and cuts to make them the same colour as the roof. It probably doesn't make you feel any better than our building inspector told us that these tiles are actually one of the worst on the market for chipping and uniformity. And the darker the colour the worst they are! I wish someone had told us this before we picked them. Im pretty sure that the tiles will get fixed and hopefully when the houses are finished they will look so much better. Congrats on getting your ceilings and plastering done. We are still waiting on our place to dryout before the render will start, hopefully later this week or early next week. Good luck with the rest our your build i hope it goes more smoothly.
