Hope you're doing well Ses_78 & Mr_Karaoke - has there been anyone on this forum that hasn't had a really slow finish to their build!?! Who are your site supervisors?
Ses_78,…

Ses78, I had the back office chasing the necessary items to get the interim occupation certificate about 2.5 weeks out. I couldn't get final payment from bank without it, so…

Finally handed over on Friday, moved in Saturday!! Thank goodness!!!
Still some outstanding fixes to render work to be done & some maintenance on bifolds & French doors, but couldn't wait…

I'm in the 'tomorrow' club now! Everything will be fixed or organised tomorrow. Yet, there hasn't been a trade around in last 3 days!! Call or txt MK - no…

Ses_78, there's probably no newbies as they've read our posts and have chosen to build with someone else!!
I don't know why they are delaying! I sent letter, no response. I…

54 weeks elapsed build time - still not done!!

Ses78, there's just so much rework to be done, render, tiles, electrical, staining & painting.
Post contract, I don't think they can raise prices, especially on things that have already…

So, my contract end date (26 Jan 2016 + 5 public holidays + 5 weeks closedown + 26 wet days + 6 weeks post contract variations/colours) is actually 'next week'…

So my house will be complete 'next week'... I never knew just how many days there were until 'next week'...

Ses_78, practical completion should be this Friday. Bahahahaha!! At the pace they move - not one thing fixed yet from our 1st inspection 1.5 weeks ago. Probably ready by end…

In short, NO!
It is as if it's the first time they've built a Glenleigh!! This is one of their most popular designs!
Your pre construction paperwork will drag on for at…

Yes sad_boy, if it rains in the morning work stops, or doesn't start. I've had many trades work on a Saturday, occasionally even a Sunday.

Oh Ses_78!! That is terrible!! I think you should be talking compensation $$$ with KH!!!

Hey Ses_78, I felt the same way as you the first time I noticed some things wrong. I was concerned with being onsite when strictly I'm not supposed to. My…

Good luck sad_boy with the weather. Once you have a lid on the house, they can get much more done without weather restriction. That's when it seems to slow down…

That is a long time for pre-construction!!! PHo is the good one!!
What suburb are you building in?

Hi sad_boy, sounds like you've not much to be sad about! Your job is progressing extremely quick!! Where are you building?
I've had 2x PHs - 1 good, 1 far from…

Oh yeah! And this plumbing fail!

That's so frustrating!! I had to meet tiler at 7.30am onsite on Saturday to tell him which external walls to tile (like that's my job!). He only had 1/3 tiles…

I hope it's something you can live with, i.e. not getting what you originally wanted. It does get to the point that you just say "stuff it, I just want…

They gave you money back for the vanity???

Ses_78, not to be negative, however I was at your stage 8 weeks ago. Today - No bench tops, flooring, painting completed, etc. If your place can get done in…

The main issue is with my façade, the columns above the balcony are not in line with those below - they weren't built properly in the first place & now…

Good to hear you'll be in on time quach!
My estimate has now changed from end of March to end of April. The issues continue!

Some progress pictures of the kitchen bathroom & rumpus cabinetry, etc.
Looking forward to the stone tops on them...

Boom!! Quach, that looks like a huge space!! Nice!!
Hope mine goes as smoothly on Monday!!

My kitchen should be going in on Monday (if yours is complete today, I guess). I'm HOPING early April!!
Apart from the inside of my powder room shower & laundry tub…

I asked the question today, 'how long do you reckon we've got to completion?'
Answer: 'about 6 weeks'
Love the standard '6 week' response!!
I'm not holding them to it, but wouldn't it…

Hey Quach, it seems like you have overtaken me again. I'm only due to get my staircase in next week, although I've had tillers in since last Thursday.
Next issue found…

Can't wait for builders to get back from their Christmas shutdown next week. It's been a bit boring not having any progress to look at!!
Hoping I will be in by…
