Browse Forums Building A New House Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 522Dec 01, 2017 8:17 am You poor thing!! It must be so frustrating with how slow they are moving. I wouldnt be surprised if things move really quick after the christmas period.. The site supervisors are under a lot of pressures to get so many homes to handover before christmas (our ss alone said he had to handover 20 homes this month) so i think maybe they get all their trades working on those jobs and everyone else misses out. Its really annoying but hopefully things pick up pace soon. They can get SO much done in 1 week when they need to and i think your finish date wont be affected too much. Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 523Dec 01, 2017 10:40 am there maybe other things going on in the background as a result of the damage they are chasing up as well. i would rather a slight delay that can be caught up and things be done right that something being missed. 20 homes handover in a month is pretty crazy. Sounds like a bit of pressure there and imagine its on the back office staff too. easy to focus on a single build but trying to juggle dozens at once - no thanks. hopefully your will get there in time for the joinery booking - noting you also have concrete dates etc lined up so as long as they catch up by then its not to much of an issue hopefully Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 524Dec 01, 2017 11:29 am Its the dates and catching up to them im concerned about. To get the damaged fixed a claim had to be send in to insurance (does not affect fixing) fixing goes through maintenance department. My biggest worry is if they are so slack now how will they be after the build ? Skack/ not reliable if issues come up that they haveto fix ...? but again to be informed or kept ipto date on whats going on will at least help a bit... but total silence... no updates.... nothing Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 525Dec 01, 2017 12:51 pm probably not slack but just very busy trying to get the houses that can be handed over pre shutdown done. as i have noted it seems every second house i look at being built is one of theirs. though no updates and silence would be frustrating when concerned. Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 526Dec 01, 2017 3:28 pm Was hoping to see lots of pics and progress since I last looked at your post. So sorry to hear all the troubles you are having Hope they get their act together and you can have your completed house in Feb Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 527Dec 01, 2017 3:39 pm Nawsome Was hoping to see lots of pics and progress since I last looked at your post. So sorry to hear all the troubles you are having Hope they get their act together and you can have your completed house in Feb Thanks! Im rantymore than anything lol Thing the no reply/no follow up/ no feedback is getting to me! Hoping we will have progress soon! This bit has been frustrating Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 528Dec 01, 2017 4:22 pm Got a reply finally! Said our linings due to be completed this week? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that it has not happened? Just went past no repairs of insolation nor gyprock instalked.... unless the tradies work Saturday and Sunday ior have a miracle over night then i can surely say again im given incorrect info! Well we will see monday am, and if nothing then its us and hickies Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 531Dec 03, 2017 11:09 am will be a busy week if they are still sticking to their timelines for joiners - can almost picture the plasterboard being done where the joiner has to work first so he is working while they complete lining other walls Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 532Dec 03, 2017 2:29 pm Entilzha will be a busy week if they are still sticking to their timelines for joiners - can almost picture the plasterboard being done where the joiner has to work first so he is working while they complete lining other walls Really worried about this! Cause still nothing done! So i can see they are not on schedule so i want them to explain and show us tomorrow how they are on schedule and how the linings is completed... if not how it will be done to stay on the schedule for joinery Unless monday is electrical Tuesday insolation and Wednesday gyprock?? But they insist they are on schedule We are really unhappy and feel that we have not been told the truth and our consultant has no idea whats going on with our build and the new ss is causing more problems and delays and not keeping our consultant up to date for the last 2 weeks absolutely no linings has been done... either way we want this mucking around and mess sorted out tomorrow this cant continue and has cost us 2 weeks! Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 536Dec 04, 2017 8:21 pm Sarah159 Really! Thats crazy! There must be some reason why they arent working on your house. Very unlikely that the joinery will happen this week now 👎 They say we are on schedule hubby will look again tomorrow and then take it further. Will pm you But we did not observe them being on schedule guess there is a huge communication delsy between ss and consultant of whats going on. Re: First jome build SA Hickinbotham 539Dec 05, 2017 10:03 am Hope something is happening today for you. A quick update, we didn't have site start before Easter.
