Browse Forums Building A New House Daydream 30. Plumbing & Electrical fit off 316Mar 06, 2018 6:27 am Week 14 (Week 17 since we started on site, minus 3 weeks for xmas)
From the day we bought our appliances, we were told when they get delivered, the sparky will be onsite and install them straight away. Our sales consultant, our 2 head office people and also our ss said this to us. He even went as far as to say he would be on site when they were installed. Fast forward to last weeks weekly email, he asked for our appliances and pendant lights delivered on Monday for sparky to put in, if it couldn't be Monday, as early as possible Tuesday. Spoke with Domayne to organised it for Monday, paid extra because it wasn't the day they went to our area, it was a special delivery etc etc. Everything was sweet, until I ring my ss yesterday to say 'hey they will be there between 11-1, they will call me 45 minutes before hand blah blah' To which he replied 'Oh I'll send the plumber around to unlock the back door, just leave them in the garage and lock up once your done' WHAT THE????????? I am so over this! Why tell me one thing and do the absolute opposite. So I took a ton of photos of where they were, the condition they are in and if anything happens to them, its on them, they should have been there to install them. I'm just lucky I dont work Mondays, I would be so annoyed if I had to days off work to deal with coral. Tiles still aren't finished, WIP, WIL, WIR, study and half our main bath aren't done. The lounge room area has been grouted but that's it.

They seriously just open a door/window and throw the rubbish out of it.

As much as we are ready to move out of my mother in laws house, we won't be accepting a terrible job. I have been around building sites my whole life, 1 brother is a carpenter, the other a plumber plus my dad is the handiest man I know, he renovated our whole house while we were growing up and hubster is a Painter and Decorator by trade( something we haven't told coral, so they better be on top of the painting :lol If you made it this far, well done, have some bonus photos Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The long white boxes are our pedant lights Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Daydream 30.

Then on one occasion we get told the guy isn't even a painter he just does prep - makes ya blood boil. We supplied our own dishwasher and had to gove measurements and the hole was still too big - they had to come back and put a piece on our kitchen - sloppy work aye Re: Daydream 30.

I got the appliances delivered Monday following ss instructions, still not installed Wednesday afternoon 🤬 I watched the plumber this afternoon stand on one side of the block and throw stuff towards the skip, missed it completely and walked away!
