Procorp - Administrator appointed

At least we're in our house, so we're luckier than some.
That said, it's now been 15 weeks since we sent our 90 day defects list, and we're still waiting for…

We had our first on-site meeting a year ago today.
Handover was in September last year, and while there aren't too many remaining issues there hasn't been any progress with our…

Sekisui - recent experiences?

We're reasonably happy with the quality of the work on our recently completed house that was commenced by another builder.
We signed up with them based on verbal indications of how…

A quick update from us.
We've been in our house for a month now. We've almost finished unpacking and just got the internet working last night (not Sekisui's fault, but that's…

We had our practical completion inspection on Friday.
Other than touch ups, there were only a few other minor things missing or still to be completed, like storm moulds missing from…

Hopefully things are still progressing for everyone.
We have our practical completion inspection booked for this Friday. Still a couple of things to sort out by then, and progress remains slow.…

Looks like we'll run a few weeks over our 10 week contract too, if no further delays
We've generally been kept in the loop, and things have been happening on site,…

We've had a little more progress over the past week. The last bath has been set, some internal plumbing has been fixed, most of the air vents are on, and…

Our bathroom wall tiles are on, downpipes have been finished, garage door is on, and most of the outdoor tiling has been finished.

Tiling has started! The bathroom, laundry and ensuite floor tiles are all in and wall tiles are half done.

It's been very slow and disorganised from early Feb up until early May, which has been frustrating for all of us.
For our build, things have seemed a bit more structured…

Some more activity at our place this week, water proofing redone in wet areas, and carpenters have been to fix some skirting boards. Quite a relief to finally see people…

We've had some progresss. we gave the keys to our supervisor and our site was cleaned on Friday as promised.

At this point, I'd give our remaining payments to whatever combination of builders was required, as long as our house gets finished.

Depends on the cost of getting another builder to complete, compared to the amount that we would have to pay Sekisui.
If the other builder is cheaper, we would have to…

Our 20 business days ended yesterday. Nothing's happened yet, there is no sign or port-a-loo, and we're yet to get a call from our supervisor.
We were told today that…

No work started yet. Sekisui have had all required documents since 8 April. We have not yet been told who our construction supervisor will be or when work will start…

We have a contract, but it needs a few changes.
Anyone signed a contract yet?

We got our contract in the mail yesterday.
There are a few mistakes in the info for our individual contract, e.g. progress payments where the amount paid by us vs SICorp…

Already thinking that I'll be asking them to confirm anything they've told us in person or over the phone in an e-mail from now on.

Did anyone who's had an inspection with Sekisui over the past few days get an ETA on when they'd be expecting to sign new contracts and re-commence work?

Good to hear that things are moving along.
Malcolm from QBE was very helpful the few times we called over the past few months.

If you haven't got the letter from QBE about the insurance claim, then definitely call them and find out what's happening.
If you mean a letter from Sekisui, I don't think…

So, seems like the agreement with SICorp still wasn't finalised yesterday (was originally supposed to happen "over the Christmas period").
