I was thinking that maybe I'm expecting too much, as it seems that nobody else had any window frames damage or tracks not cleaned! So, we are the only house on this Forum that had window frames damaged.
Hi Lex
I have just come across your post.
We had MANY scratches and dents to our window and door frames during our construction!
We reported all damage to our builder, who at first, attempted to poorly rectify the damage themselves! Once pointed out that this was unacceptable......the door suppliers were then engaged to carryout the work. They attended and carried out a very professional and satisfactoy touch-up job to all damaged areas and at no cost to us.
Definitely pursue this with your builder before settlement.
This area would also be covered in the implied warranty section of your building contract:
"The builder warrants that all materials to be supplied by the Builder for use in the work will be good and suitable for the purpose for which they are used and that, unless otherwise stated in the Contract, those materials will be new".
Hoping this might be of interest!
