Would be such a waste of everyone's time to go to court when you all need to fences anywy. Fingers crossed. Got one place to come on site and quote. Still waiting for the actual quote, hopefully today. 1 place said he only quotes using Google. That's not much good in our case because google hasn't been updated since the house was demolished. Hoping a few others that said they'd contact me to make a time come through this week. Yeah it would have been so much easier to have Simonds do it but hopefully this way it will be cheaper for us. I'm hoping all being well, if our new fences are up, we'll have a gate going in to the back yard from the side so at least we can get things in and bypass the driveway. Trying to get the fence organised. And the window coverings; And then I should be able to get on to driveway quotes. Yep exactly, hopefully they get back to me soon. Just using google? That's ridiculous haha coming to site is the only way to provide an accurate quote I would've thought.... Fingers crossed others get back to you! Yes true, I have no doubt we paid a premium for a basic driveway, I'm hoping it's worth it haha Re: Building Simonds Express - Westbury Premium - East Estat 94Feb 19, 2018 7:18 am smithfamily pEast smithfamily Lol I'll try that on Monday and see what happens. 30/3 really isn't that far away either! How exciting! These last few weeks are the slowest though haha Your house already looks like ready to move in with the temp fence down and the cleaning all around it. Yep we're close, very close! I'm expecting fixing invoice today, only carpets and a few small things left to do and we're done. Will attempt to call SS again today for an update on PCI date. By the looks of it, we may be the first actual residents in East Estate....which is a little scary.... There is a Simonds near our lot and it has had its driveway done more than a month back and has a security camera at the front installed - I was thinking they would be in first. follow my build Arden homes Votivo 37 iin south east: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=88622 Re: Building Simonds Express - Westbury Premium - East Estat 95Feb 19, 2018 7:19 am smithfamily Bri1234 Hopefully they respond soon to make things easier.

If they as so busy they can only quote using google, I'm not interested. Tossing up though, would the extra rent we'll most likely have to pay undo any savings we make by doing the driveway ourselves?!

We thought that too....but they have been broken into and some damage done and things taken. I believe it's all fixed up now so maybe they won't be far away from moving in either.

People don't realise. They aren't stealing from developers. They're stealing from everyday people trying to build homes. Yes the builder is responsible for the loses but what about the delays and the extra rent people have to pay. Sorry for the rant. Before Christmas we had thefts on site that delayed us a few weeks. And camera's were put up which is good because the thefts have stopped but they cause us inconvenience.

I feel sorry for this build we're talking about, this is the 2nd time it has happened to them. First they had all their electrical stripped the day after it was completed, and now this. Apparently this time was really bad, kicked in back door and damaged the frame which required repairs! Has put them back at least 3-4 weeks!!
