Great to hear you have progress.

They only had 3 months before to do it properly but always leave it to last minute @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 I hear you on this post!!! That's my greatest fear. Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4127Feb 01, 2017 5:25 am VMGlendale37 Orpheus So I escalated to a few people in Metricon and accidently met with our SM who was onsite scoping the works out for the coming weeks. He was cool will the escalations and understand our concerns. He advised us that he is trying to squeeze in all the remaining works and fixing the defects in the next 3-4 weeks so we can go through QA, PCI & then handover. He better deliver this time. The crucial works for us are fixing the defects to the exterior such as brick works, roof tiles, eaves and downpipes and painting of weatherboards. Internally we have lots to do with painting and installing appliances and fixing some vanities and basins. He agreed we will get weekly updates and a walkthrough every week to see progress. All of our first floor doors (6) will have to be replaced, repainted and refitted as the ones they ordered, paintrd and fitted have the wrong holes for the handles. With the ensuite basin fiasco, we proposed a replacement of our vessel ones with the Laufen Living basins. Yup I told him this is what we want (notice the price) and I said make it happen pls. Our SM is getting approval from upper mgmt as the cost is above his pay grade Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Love the basin choice.

Ya, I have a scheduled call with the CM today so will be asking when all the defects will be completed and the remaining works so I can get a damn PCI/Handover date.

I think I need a bear hug after all the dramas lately. The purpose for studio/shed/workshop is bc it's another piece of architecture which will blend in and stand out for our nice Landscape. The regular colorbond shed is an eyesore imho. @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4137Feb 02, 2017 9:34 am Update! 1. We have a tentative PCI date (3rd week of Feb)! Let's see if they can keep to this commitment. 2. Good news on the basin. M has agreed to swap out our basin to the Laufen Living basins which is a good win as its a quicker and cheaper solution then ripping out the tiles, mirrors and walls to move the pipes..... @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4138Feb 02, 2017 9:36 am Ooh awesome news Orph!!
