Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with Burbank 3Jul 28, 2010 11:50 am Hi Emma, 12.4 in the contract. I would take Richard advice and do it after handover. http://burbankascent2500.blogspot.com/ https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28503 [url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/] HOUSE COMPLETED IN 119 DAYS PCI Complete Handover 24th August Re: Building with Burbank 4Jul 28, 2010 5:46 pm Hi Guys, strongly suggest you don't makes changes after signing the contract. Seems to vary whether you can or can't but it will cost you TIME and $500 for each change etc. We have been going thru this for 6 months and still have a empty block of land and I have not instigated a change. Re: Building with Burbank 5Jul 29, 2010 6:09 pm Hi all and thanks for the advice! Love the smaller coffee shops make better coffee phrase! Ok so the long and the short of it after 3 days of being persistent (in a nice way!) they have agreed to make the change. The building commission agreed it wasn't an unreasonable request and that we could in fact take the matter to a tribunal. The very sad thing is that these people in their suits at head office only see bricks and mortar and not the love, passion and heart that we put into building our homes, i have been a manager for many years and will always think out of the box and try to go above and beyond where possible. In a country who employs more people in the retail and customer service industry than any other industry, we also have the worst record in the world of customer service....this will never change if we all keep accepting it. So with that behind, we look forward to the build !!!

We asked B****k if we could have our bifold door tracking in flush with the floor so we dont trip over the traking but nnnooooo, 'no we wont do that' they said. Having a hubby in the construction industry we couldnt figure out why. Its just a matter of putting a rebate in the concrete instead of having it sit ontop. So I asked again and was told that its because our house is from the future designs. MY ***! Getting pretty angry! Its our house, our money! We should get what we want! (within limits... I could go pretty crazy!lol) Forrester 43sq We have our keys (3/6/11) Now it's time to decorate (that's the fun part.lol) https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=37598 Re: Building with Burbank 9Jul 30, 2010 10:32 am Rudolf1980 Hi there.
