Re: Cosmopolitan Homes - Liquidator appointed 199Dec 08, 2011 4:46 pm zozo Krushall, you should call SICorp to make sure you were on the list to be contacted by Trend Connections. Being that close to completion in Pemulwuy I would've expected that you be on that list. We were first cab off the rank to get work done by Trend and we are moving in tomorrow. With the rain delays there is still external work to be finished but with SICorp paying for our hotel accommodation I think they were keen to get us in the house. I know that Trend have been trying to use the same tradesmen that were appointed for Cosmo as most have our stuff still in their factories ready for installation. As for the certificates, Trend had to pay to get them again as they either weren't done by Cosmo or Cosmo didn't hand them over. So some of the work couldn't start with new tradies without that certificate being issued. FYI, we were only 4 days from moving in. According to Cosmo at our PCI, all that was required was a bit of touch-up painting and carpentry, installation of appliances and turning on the power/gas. Once Trend got on board, it was found that the electricals weren't ready to go, the connector for the solar panels wasn't installed, there were lots more things to fix/install and Trend found some defects that will have to be repaired down the track - eg we don't have sufficient drainage in the driveway and could have flooding issues. So what seemed like a basic 4 day wait has actually been around 4 weeks work with things still to complete. Hard to know whether Cosmo were trying to cut corners or if the tradies were as they weren't being paid properly - or at all it seems. thats great that Trend has been so quick for you. Did you have to sign another building contract with them? I am in Greystanes so just outside the pemulway estate. Pity by project got allocated to the other group almost complete group.
