Browse Forums Building A New House Re: GJ Gardner - Week 17 - PCI & Handover 126Mar 15, 2018 10:07 am Have had some issues with handover the last few days, the bank done its final inspection and wouldn't release finals funds because of things that were not completed. Turf, Bath, Tank, Cladding and cleaning. All of which have now been completed. So we had to draft up a letter and send to bank to allow them to release funds stating its completed and we are satisfied. This means payment might not make builders acc by friday. Which is a massive inconvenience to us as we have booked and organized people to help us move! The builder failed the council OC because the cladding wasn't installed yesterday. Cladding was then quickly installed and another inspection booked for today. Have spoke with the SS and they are still happy to give us the keys on Friday (hopefully) as long as the final payment is in process which it currently is. So fingers crossed!. Got a snap of our bath aswell which is wonderful!

Just wanted to update everybody before I forget about it. Bank inspection failed us due to items not being completed but we had to write a letter to bank to say the items were complete to release final payment. Council failed builder on 2 occasions, for not having cladding on then the next day for not having the cladding painted.. LOL We still got OC completed the day we moved in so no dramas. Over all it has been a great experience and we would definitely build a new home again and look afford to in the future. A few things remain uncompleted but will be done soon a possible. - Touch up painting - Brick letterbox - Leveling of front right side of house - Fix of stacker doors not shutting correctly and fly screens for stacker doors. Now for the good stuff, some pictures for you to enjoy.

Our fridge had a battle with the trailer and is also sporting some scars Re: GJ Gardner - Week 17 - Completed 131Mar 20, 2018 4:44 pm Looks great, moving can be very full on but looks like you’ve started settling in well already. Re: GJ Gardner - Week 17 - Completed 132Mar 20, 2018 6:14 pm Congratulations and well done - don’t think I’m game enough to do it again!!! Re: GJ Gardner - Week 17 - Completed 133Apr 02, 2018 4:16 pm Hi guys! Hope everybody is processing well with there build or even settled in already! We have been flat out organising things to be completed. We finally got a mailbox before Easter but still are waiting for touch up painting, side fencing and side yard leveling to be completed. We are glad we took keys but some of these things should have been completed weeks ago! Grass has been really patchy regardless of the water we pump in doesn't seem to be taking off in some areas. Have started some landscaping at the front have attached a photo!

No ours did a layer of soil i'm pretty sure maybe it wasn't thick enough though Hi Everyone I learned something this week that I thought would be worth sharing. In NSW a lot of developers of subdivisions put covenants on the land which normally… 0 5003 May I ask why you chose not to use GJ Gardiner? I'm actually meeting with one of the sales guys tomorrow for an appointment. Definitely not signing anything yet… 3 9566 |
