So they better hurry 1052Apr 19, 2017 7:18 pm I definitely wouldn't be recommending them but also wouldn't be doing a review until everything is complete. Wouldn't want them to see it and muck you around anymore! Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - 4 wks to go! So they better hurry 1053Apr 19, 2017 7:22 pm Exactly. Once everything is done I will do a review.... but it will be a fair.. I'm not going to bag them out. There have been somethings I liked.. I was trying to decide if I want to go visit the house this weekend, since we ave 4 days off. But decided to wait until next weekend when I meet with the blind people.. Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - 4 wks to go! So they better hurry 1055Apr 20, 2017 6:48 pm So builder called me today. Update is that shower screens should go in next week, electrical fit out should be late next week and the strip footings for the front fence have either started or are starting next week (forget), external stuff will be kicking off soonish. In regards to move in date, confirmed we are still on schedule for mid May.. I will push for a date before the 15th next week when I do my weekly progress call. Didn't really find out if anything happened this week.. but last time they told me nothing had happened, and stone went in.. so hopefully stuff is happening. At least they called me back. I feel more comfortable about things when I'm in regular contact with them. Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - 4 wks to go! So they better hurry 1056Apr 20, 2017 6:53 pm aloenyx So builder called me today.

Can't be much left to do now 😀 Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - 4 wks to go! So they better hurry 1057Apr 20, 2017 8:03 pm I think the to do list is: Internal Shower screens Mirrors Flyscreens Electrical Wardrobes Appliances Hot water Split system Carpets Defects/painting touch ups Door handles & door stops External Garage Door Front Fence Driveway Concrete I think that's all of it? So hopefully after next week a few more things can come off the list. I'm pretty sure I won't visit this week as I will be spending a bit of time at the house next weekend. After keys, there's window treatments, turf, back fence, side gate/front fence, paving, cat run.. then will be mostly done for a while. Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - 4 wks to go!

Could all be done in a few weeks if they've got it all booked! Re: {dawn} SE Melb Build - 4 wks to go!

So they better hurry 1060Apr 20, 2017 9:22 pm Dawn, A lot of these items will take half a day or less to do & some of them may be done by the same contractors (mirrors & shower screens for example) on the same day.
