Congrats on starting your thread. We tried numerous times during our build, to get SS phone number, and were told we weren't allowed to have it. The first time we spoke to him, was to book in PCI. I hope you do manage to have ongoing communication with SS and can get any issues fixed when/if they arise contract signed: Nov 09 Released to Construction: 23 Jul 10 Slab poured: 9 Aug 10 Frame completed: 30 Aug 10 Windows & Gutters: 7 Sep 10 Bricks: 15 - 23 Sep 10 Roof: 24 Sep 10 Gyprock: 20 Oct 10 Lockup: 25 Oct 10 Kitchen: 27 Oct 10 Tiling: 6 - 9 Nov 10 Painting: 17 Nov 10 Carpet: 30 Nov 10 PCI: 15 Dec 10 Handover: 17 Dec 10 https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=35943 Re: Building our dream home in Adelaide 14Mar 11, 2011 2:46 pm Thanks Carlswill. I have emailed the builders so hoping to get a reply back, Its a different contractors which are not with the SS, they come onboard for construction only. Oh well hopefully someone will clean it up Re: Building our dream home in Adelaide 15Mar 11, 2011 3:10 pm These builders tend to be messy people. We cleaned our site so many times. Piles of roof tiles were thrown next to the skip bin, instead of in it. You wouldn't think it would be that difficult to throw it in the bin. contract signed: Nov 09 Released to Construction: 23 Jul 10 Slab poured: 9 Aug 10 Frame completed: 30 Aug 10 Windows & Gutters: 7 Sep 10 Bricks: 15 - 23 Sep 10 Roof: 24 Sep 10 Gyprock: 20 Oct 10 Lockup: 25 Oct 10 Kitchen: 27 Oct 10 Tiling: 6 - 9 Nov 10 Painting: 17 Nov 10 Carpet: 30 Nov 10 PCI: 15 Dec 10 Handover: 17 Dec 10 https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=35943 Re: Building our dream home in Adelaide 16Mar 15, 2011 1:58 pm Theresa That's great news that you have a date. You must be so excited. Thanks was very excited, then I emailed our contact/liason who i have had words to before about their contractors leaving the steel and mesh every where and said I just wanted them to be aware that we will move it to somewhere where the builder can put it in the skip when it comes and got an email back- quite rudely saying that as per our contract that we were going to remove the excess soil- even though i had already said we would move it but the amount of crap left would need to be removed first. Long story short we did this to save some money as a friend was going to remove it but strictly put in our contract that we needed 2 weeks notice before any work can be done for us to remove the soil on the day the trenches were dug (this was put in back in October and confirmed with them AGAIN in January). needless to say that this was never done and we are removing it this weekend (4 weeks after the fact) and they throw it in our face as if its our problem. Sorry lady but this was your problem. Dunno if this makes any sense but im pretty miffed atm! Re: Building our dream home in Adelaide 17Mar 15, 2011 7:10 pm Well, they don't have to be rude! Sounds like they completely forgot about your earlier request for 2 weeks notice. Re: Building our dream home in Adelaide 18Mar 16, 2011 11:57 am They know they were in the wrong so just trying to pass the blame to make themselves feel better Re: Building our dream home in Adelaide 19Mar 16, 2011 4:43 pm Does anyone know of a good tiler that is also reasonably priced? We have 600x600 polished porceline tiles we will need to lay before we move in and want a great job done but also at a reasonable cost. Re: Building our dream home in Adelaide 20Mar 21, 2011 3:58 pm Ok, so went and did some work on the block yesterday as we moved and flattened a lot of our excess soil. Looks like we have done more work then the builders ourselves. Timber frame is meant to be delivered tomorrow (which I hope will still happen) but with all this rain forecast I doubt they will start anytime in the immediate future. I am so sick of waiting (thats all we've done) I just want a house. it will be exactly 12 months next week that we signed our contract for the land. Sorry just venting!
