We had the initial Tender Presentation which we took more than 6 hrs to discuss . There was another Contract Tender presented to us with the variations and costs from the initial tender which took about 2 hrs . Both at the HO . Gav , sorry to hear about your situation . I caused all the drama before the tender was presented but since that I had a good run so far .Most of the things depend on the site supervisor . BUT what I realised is that the more you show them that you know a bit about the construction industry they try less with you . I would still consider building with them as long as I get the same supervisor . GFdo Re: Building the Waterfall by Clarendon in Sydney 818Jan 12, 2011 9:07 pm Hi gav it really depends on your CSO as well. a lot of times you dont know what happen behind the scene. if you get incompetent one then you have last minute additional into your PCV and they hope it will just "slide" under your nose. our hiccup has been on the hydraulic plans which was delayed by 1 month and the consolidation of the colour appointments which took another 1 month. not sure what is so hard about consolidating what we have ordered. i agree with GFdo, you need to show them that you know whats happening and dont be afraid to confront them and insist to get it fixed if it is somthing that you must have for your house. there will be minor thing that we let it "slide" as it is not too important. my approach is always be polite but firm. but sometimes unfortunately you need to be firm to almost be "rude" to get things done. will i do with C again? hmm, i am 50/50 to be honest. i heard the other builder is no better. the grass always looks greener on the other side. i think the key really is to get good Site supervisor (again agreeing with GFdo), brand name means nothing. Your SS hold the key to your house whether it is going to be the house of horror or your home sweet home. unfortunately who will be your SS is not your choice. so the best would be to look at the area that you are going to build and see what project they have done and if people are happy about it. chances are, you will get the same SS. mp It is Genneral stairs, but they won't deal with anyone off the street. They will only work with clients of project home builders. I tried to but some of these exact… 3 8778 The two 15mm holes are obviously not compliant. The Dept of Fair Trading would love to see this one! Do the gutters pool water after it stops raining? Although it's… 4 8770 No idea about the driveway question, but your price for a house that size including landscaping seems very good! 1 6548 |
