At least we're in our house, so we're luckier than some.

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.

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.…

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.
Procorp - Administrator appointed
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…

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

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

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?
We were told…

Good to hear that things are moving along.

If you haven't got the letter from QBE about the insurance claim, then definitely call them and find out what's happening.
