Turns out we had the same issues as 2.2, our front roof trusses were installed incorrectly which led to the other issues we failed from council. I had a mini break down.. Seeing your home being disassembled is very disheartening! Seeing as we now have the number for our SS, hubby called to find out what was planned. During the conversation, we found out that our customer service rep hasn't been passing on our quearies to SS!! SS was helpful and has ppl working this weekend to get things back on track. He was also apologetic of the roof trusses as this was something he should of noticed. Apparently BW have a new truss manufacturer and the chippies are still installing the trusses like the old ones. Fingers crossed we are over our bumpy patch and next week is better!!

It's sooo frustrating. So close yet so far. We've been picking up any problems as we go along so we don't expect any surprise come walk through and plan to settle that day if we can. The tiler was there today. Told me straight out that while Indent were giving our SS the run around they had actually been sent by indent to do another job!!!! Add to that we were a total of 7 tiles short and they only gave the tiler 5!?????? Pure stupidity! The guy was on his own and left us a note to say he'd be back tomorrow to finish off. No delivery today We were expecting everything for fitout. Hopefully Monday! In the meantime we'll get started on the electrical over the weekend and maybe get some things done in the yard! Always something to do; just wish it was moving furniture!! Natandash - isn't it gut wrenching!! They didn't pull any tiles off with us but our ceiling in our family room looked like the ocean it had so many waves in it! Our frame was made by Bunnings and 14 trusses has been manufactured wrong! You expect bumps along the way but when you something is structurally wrong it's just awful!!!! I have specifically asked for an engineers report stating what was wrong, how it was fixed and that it is not going to cause additional problem down the track. I would suggest you do the same. 20/4 - Earthworks 25/5 SLAB 9/6 Frame 21/6 Roof 5 - 22/7 Bricking 1/8 Gyprocking 16 - 18/08 Faulty Trusses repaired 17/08 Kitchen in 07/09 Tilers 15/09 Painters 30/9 Plumbers finished 7/10 Settled Re: Who is building with Beechwood 1254Sep 24, 2011 9:18 pm Good idea, thanx for the tip!! We took a couple of photos today, most roof tiles are back on but inside looks a mess. Costa need to come back and fix up all the electrical wires. Hubby is updating our blog now.

Acre, Were all these lights included in your Basix report? Our Basix makes no mention of lights. However we want to install various external and internal lights as well as fans. However were told today that we should get these done after inspection so our Basix does not chnage. Does anyone know when this inspection is done? Or is it a council one when occupancy cert is done?
