We've bought a house in Melbourne inner east & planning on knocking it down to rebuild a big family home for our tribe of kids.

Outside edge landscapers have been brilliant. They've finished the driveway, paved front paths with bluestone, front fence looking good with railway sleepers and render to come soon, side paths and limestone pavers finished, also pool coping and paving done, deck, sandpit, pool equipment storage box done and garden beds prepared in most areas. Now for more soil, plants, grass, decks oiled and finish off the sprinkler system.

We did have to push for handover in the end although the front door hadn't arrived and I felt my SS wanted to finish touch ups. </div><div>Most of our independent inspectors report things appeared to be fixed. Other things were planned in following week. </div><div><br></div><div>Most importantly the sewage blockage was found and also a section of crushed pipe also repaired. Thank goodness they found it prior to handover or my new driveway would have had to be ripped up. Tip- flush 3 or 4 toilets within a minute or two of each other and go outside to sewage low point vent and see if it's leaking. SS picked it up. </div><div><br></div><div>Since handover day my list of issues is constantly added to but also rapidly removed. PD have been incredible with responding to issues. My SS has trades instantly on the phone calling me arranging time to repair things and I feel has gone the extra mile to help ensure our dream home is perfect. </div><div><br></div><div>A few hurdles we've had have also got a few more trades fired and contracts ended. The big one was when my landscapers found while digging front yard up for fence that the storm water pipes were stuffed with plastic and over a foot short and no where near connected to storm water main point! Needless to say PD have now cancelled that drainers contract and I witnessed the quality of repair to over 15m worth of piping. Very happy this was discovered within days and also before this weeks record breaking rains. </div><div><br></div><div>The plumbers responded also within a few hours to a gas leak on loose piping on hot water service. That was picked up by a plumber I had who was moving my water meter for me and he could smell gas. </div><div><br></div><div>Missing things have been delivered and installed by several trades over the past week. The service has been great but it highlights the need of contractors to constantly double check orders measurements and details. </div><div><br></div><div>Fireplace installer tried to tell me the control he gave me didn't have the timer or temperature function but you don't need it anyway. So a trip to jetmaster head office they tell me I must have dropped it and want to charge me for new one. I walked out happy with a new one for free as expected. People try to bluff their way out of responsibility all the time in this industry and especially as a girl they try to fool you. The repairs of some things were well covered up but I've found them and PD once made aware and I have photos too are sending their people back out to do a proper job. </div><div><br></div><div>Bowed doors and windows look ok at a glance but the bow (which I was told was fixed) suddenly so obvious once more when our level deck next to it or the wind howls in through the gap in the window. </div><div><br></div><div>Despite a list 1 1/2 pages long of things for my 3 month repairs report so far I think PD made a stunning house and am so impressed with the continued service from my SS and BC post handover. </div><div><br></div><div>Post handover job list slowly been reduced. Driveway almost finished (Montrose exposed aggregate). Outside Edge Landscaping team are doing a brilliant job. In 5 days they've done our driveway. Front decking and back decking done and almost ready for staining. Im very happy less dirt is coming into the house now. Security, cabnetry, window tinting, blinds are done. Sharon's blinds have produced beautiful curtains and blinds for bedrooms. New fridge, couches, blinds, rugs and things to come once we've lived in the house awhile and budget not destroyed by any unforeseen costs. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz26HboVLAY0W0T1010T_UlzKddrRP8nuD2GXGmeU6UxHEc66f7_R3f_8UqyiiEINCQh8srWwjsr_oYpoit_kGFEDxHC78IG33RvPNBLzr3D7MtXXXIPwQ59jfwvwkTs0noDZthF0NB2Y/s640/blogger-image-941397198.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz26HboVLAY0W0T1010T_UlzKddrRP8nuD2GXGmeU6UxHEc66f7_R3f_8UqyiiEINCQh8srWwjsr_oYpoit_kGFEDxHC78IG33RvPNBLzr3D7MtXXXIPwQ59jfwvwkTs0noDZthF0NB2Y/s640/blogger-image-941397198.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1mnje8ULmFZafv8IPU82yTZXLW4F6GMdweat8EsPbfde8yJXLJZv4TBeemzj2WVNqmlibpj66jbMzuhKSMXmTuw4XKTUIo9qZ3KlM51n8AK9LOPHUghwvS_1cKEAX_tFraZWapKf0PGc/s640/blogger-image-265363662.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1mnje8ULmFZafv8IPU82yTZXLW4F6GMdweat8EsPbfde8yJXLJZv4TBeemzj2WVNqmlibpj66jbMzuhKSMXmTuw4XKTUIo9qZ3KlM51n8AK9LOPHUghwvS_1cKEAX_tFraZWapKf0PGc/s640/blogger-image-265363662.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Bindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04959713849392508707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693068720632862867.post-83358031335249792412015-07-07T21:27:00.001+10:002015-07-07T21:27:10.109+10:00Handover delays now overI'm so pleased I gave us an extra 10days in our rental as handover was changed 5 times. The stress kept going up and down as I had to change trades and deliveries booked post handover. Gratefully only 3 times did I have to change Telstra, 40mins to change an appointment each time is ridiculous. Talking to one guy then another then another is frustrating; using Indian call centres maybe cheap but it's not efficient at all especially when I still get installer telling me I will be at your house in ten minutes on the wrong day each time. <div>Landscapers really frustrated with constant changes to driveway excavation, pour and seal dates. They got to start marking out landscape this week. Pool company booking their team in for completion now too. <br><div><br></div><div><div>Tomorrow is handover and many things have been fixed, other things have to be done afterwards. Plumbing happily now flows without blockage. One tradie tried to cover the broken pipe in driveway by ignoring it and continuing on when he knowingly crushed it with excavator during a conduit installation. There was also a partial brick in plumbing too. </div></div><div><br></div><div>Other things to write but sleep beckons me. </div><div>I installed the screening ready for occupancy certificate; loved getting the old power drills out to play with. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUuyYWrMrUYNK7pWjnd9y_FleSYr1e8cW2ar1WFJFE7DBBoAwPqP62hPpoqY4UAMWWlRviDhDy0PU3Y8wpcHZ_AeTu5yn8c5RcVlSPsMsaHBMM9tIxNjMX6qTTeG61hvQe0-iKbCItVpw/s640/blogger-image-251563791.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUuyYWrMrUYNK7pWjnd9y_FleSYr1e8cW2ar1WFJFE7DBBoAwPqP62hPpoqY4UAMWWlRviDhDy0PU3Y8wpcHZ_AeTu5yn8c5RcVlSPsMsaHBMM9tIxNjMX6qTTeG61hvQe0-iKbCItVpw/s640/blogger-image-251563791.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2twUeTYQxjTrVvyIhDPIxGZTxVRTnRYumJ2PBQZNUFXle0uEQsItKL-CTWkzQ1A8rQG-grHF_kY1Hz0kMQzdP-ESrb83g5jsWNwFSkHVFn0fl3eRsm856CFL_GYWJGuYThK7s8pAmiy4/s640/blogger-image--1517580982.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2twUeTYQxjTrVvyIhDPIxGZTxVRTnRYumJ2PBQZNUFXle0uEQsItKL-CTWkzQ1A8rQG-grHF_kY1Hz0kMQzdP-ESrb83g5jsWNwFSkHVFn0fl3eRsm856CFL_GYWJGuYThK7s8pAmiy4/s640/blogger-image--1517580982.jpg"></a></div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUuyYWrMrUYNK7pWjnd9y_FleSYr1e8cW2ar1WFJFE7DBBoAwPqP62hPpoqY4UAMWWlRviDhDy0PU3Y8wpcHZ_AeTu5yn8c5RcVlSPsMsaHBMM9tIxNjMX6qTTeG61hvQe0-iKbCItVpw/s640/blogger-image-251563791.jpg"></div><br></div></div>Bindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04959713849392508707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693068720632862867.post-7189033086298804552015-06-24T22:37:00.001+10:002015-06-25T21:05:27.508+10:00Final week. Handover close.<div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Quick positive feedback re our SS who has had a tough run few a few months dealing with almost 20 houses. Despite this we had our PCI and almost all the things are being currently fixed. He's been fantastic at negotiating a win win situation on numerous occasions when PD standard build didn't meet my expectations. </span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Cheap flanges around tap/shower outlets and tile repairs where they met the standard but not what I thought was a good quality. Knowing your contract is vital. Make sure you check it when inspecting house at various stages. The notes section in World of style colour report often gets ignored and all that's on it. So far PD contract trades have returned multiple times to fix things at my SS request. </span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Check wiring is as expected, also check you can actually use the piping in laundry for washing machine. Flooring guys left me excess floor boards for under stairs storeroom which I couldnt get added at contract stage. Carpet team left all leftover carpet which will be great to have as temporary covering during moving. </span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Keep up the great work PD. Hoping for near perfection for handover next week!</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Lots of last minute calls and visits. </span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Correct fireplace installed and looks great with hearth installed too. Didn't do that through PD as they were going to more than double the price so I called the stonemason who does them and works with jet master. He knew the Installer and had it installed at the same time for me. Lucky me. </span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Electricians cant put smoke alarms on separate circuit so in discussion with electrical company we've installed them on to circuit A which won't be effected by our Shabbat timer. 4 light circuits all good. Glad they've all been so nice to work with and willing to help. </span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Plumbers helped to make laundry workable from day 1 and I don't have to do anything after handover. They happily changed all things that's were wrong type of tap and plugs. </span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Tiles got replaced where I thought they were badly done but within tolerance on kids bath edge, really sharp just where they were getting in and out. </span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">2 window corners were slightly our of shape and didn't seal properly when closed in my opinion and they are getting repaired at my request. SS didn't initially see it but he took a close look and agreed. </span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Big white horrid Flanges around a wall wastepoint was because they over cut tile. It was added by SS but I hated it and said it wasn't acceptable and Reece shop staff agreed with me so he got tiles replaced and removed flange. Yet to see if other flanges removed in bathrooms on bath taps. Ugly and non standard in my opinion. </span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Balustrade covers to be replaced due to dints. </span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Door handles swapped to correct doors. </span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Missing things to be done and lots of touch ups. </span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">So grateful our SS has been fantastic and he deserves a good pat on the back at the end of this build. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Landscapers booked in and driveway starts next week. Telstra booked. Lots of deliveries now booked. Removalists booked. Happy roller coaster of stress coming to an end soon. </span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div>Bindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04959713849392508707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693068720632862867.post-58294926652813449562015-06-24T22:19:00.001+10:002015-06-24T22:19:56.920+10:00Almost there.Oops this didn't post the other week.

PD have done a great job so far & I just think the PCI was done too early and most of these things are already in progress of repairs and completion.<br />

<b>Private Inspectors other things</b><br />
Garage floor not checked due to rubbish<br />
Windows not checked due to render and paint all over window<br />
The stormwater PVC riser pipes have not been painted.<br />
The aluminium window frame sill rubbers are sitting up from the rendered sill ends. I also noted a large amount of render excesses on these window sill rubbers.<br />
The finished render surfaces around the dwelling are showing areas of damage and dirt markings as well as areas of patched looking render finish.<br />
There is termite reticulation pipe left uncovered in numerous areas around the home This in effect nullifies the rest of the termite protection system as it has left a gateway for the termite’s entry into the home. Also incomplete on RHS garage.<br />
RHS – The storm water pipe has been installed in a manner that has the top of the pipe at finish ground level or just below by less than the minimums mandated.<br />
Alfresco – the aluminium sliding door frame sill section has a large amount of scratching to the black insert pieces.Meals – the aluminium sliding door frame bottom sill section has a large indentation in the black insert.<br />
Alfresco – I noted an unsightly structural steel section protruding beside the pitching beam. The builder will need to rework this area to present with an acceptable level of finish.<br />
Rear – there are render excesses on the fascia and gutter abutment to the rendered walls.<br />
Rear – the aluminium window frame has a large indentation to the bottom sill section. The builder will need to rework this damaged area in a manner that does not present with a patched looking finish.<br />
LHS – the rainwater tank pipes have not been painted.<br />
LHS – the lower roof fascia and gutter abutments to the main dwelling are showing a large gap beneath the roof soaker flashing. The builder will need to install a cover section to stop possible vermin entry into the roof space.<br />
LHS– the meter box door stay is damaged and will require replacement of the complete meter box door.<br />
Front – there are grout excesses within the door frame sash area from installation of the facade tiling.<br />
Entry – the entry timber door is showing a bow of about 5 mm over the height of the door.<br />
Although this is technically within the allowable tolerance, the door will now not seal tight against the frame and is allowing their cold air into the dwelling.<br />
Guest room – the wall and skirting return to the LHS of the ensuite opening is showing a bow in the wall and out of square at the skirting and plaster above. This skirting has been marked with masking tape.<br />
I noted all bathroom shower outlets and bath tub outlets have been installed with an external type metal flange fitted beneath the plumbing connections The cover plates to the shower and bath water outlets is not part of my clients documented tap ware finish. The cover plates have been installed to cover over the overcutting of a tile. The defect itself must be rectified, not covered. The use of a cheap unsightly cover plate that is not high chromed, like my clients tap ware, and will tarnish very quickly is unacceptable and needs to be removed. The tiling needs to be reworked, and the openings installed to suit the tap ware selected.<br />
Guest ensuite – the cavity sliding door frame reveal is showing out of square at the bottom by about 5 mm.<br />
Guest ensuite – the vanity shelf has a large hole that is not covered by the plastic flange.<br />
Laundry – the vanity cabinet rear carcass section has been overcut by the plumber and will require reworking.<br />
Laundry – the external door frame aluminium sill section has a loose seal. The design of this doorframe is very difficult to replace the seal without complete removal of the frame.<br />
Powder room – the cavity sliding door guides are broken and will require replacement.<br />
Kitchen – There are a number of cabinet door margins that need to be reworked to ensure that all are aligned. This includes the draw fronts.<br />
Kitchen – the sink vege sprayer tap has not been installed as per supplier instructions.<br />
The weight has not been fitted at the mid-point of the feeder line and the shelf has no opening to allow the weight to pass through.<br />
This equates to a non-functional return of the tap and lead apparatus which was not the intent of the installation.<br />
Kitchen – I noted the dishwasher provision space has services conduits within the area where the dishwasher is to be installed.<br />
I noted the plaster wall below the cornice is showing a noticeable bow. This bow is causing visible fattening of the cornice adhesive at the junction to the cornice bottom edge.<br />
Upstairs – I noted the carpet has areas of paint and rust marks.<br />
Ensuite WC – the wall tiling is showing an unsightly mitre joint which is a result of lipping in the tiles.<br />
There are paint touch ups and minor plaster defects throughout the dwelling and these are marked with blue masking tape<br />
Ensuite – the wet areas wall tiling are showing unsightly abutments to the cornice above.<br />
Upstairs powder room – the wall tiling below the vanity basin has not been caulked to the floor tiling.<br />
Upstairs powder room – the plumber has installed an unsightly plastic cover over the wall tiling to hide a large gap beside the bottle waste.<br />
When looking forward from the upstairs room I noted the garage roof has a large amount of dirt and builders refuse on finished clip lock roofing.<br />
Roof Space - The insulation in the ceiling has the following defects.<br />
Large areas of ceiling batts have been left out around the ducts and exhaust fans. The batts will need to be installed snug to the ducts and just clear of the fan outlet.<br />
Other trades appear to have removed batts from their work areas with little regard for the information inserted below. Note that batts must be installed up to the 50 mm area around protected down lights.<br />
Garage – the panel door top section requires adjustment to close with an even gap against the rendered returns. The current installation shows the top panel leaning away from the door head.</div>

A few quick visits keep me on top of the issues that are being dealt with and solutions.<br />
Lucky I bumped into the Termaguard guy one day and notice he was installing an access point under where our deck will be, he moved that for me.<br />
The cupboard guy was there one day and I pointed out lots of issues that needed a quick correction. This took him less than 5mins to do and saved us all lots of hassle if noticed later and then report to SS then to company then to this guy who had to come back. He also did me a favour and drilled a hole in one panel for a cord that will be put through a rear of a cupboard.<br />
Picking up things like wrong shower screens installed saved us lots of time instead of seeing it at the PCI.<br />
<br />
Here's my rough list for when I go though the house with our private inspector for pre completion inspection (PCI).<br />

Not a full inspection this time just a review. Report mentioned the following:<br>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
- He wasn't too concerned about most areas despite them not looking too pretty at the moment. The exposed steel part of the slab (reinforced mesh frame) in my basic terminology will be sanded back treated and then sealed before finally being covered pre the remaining render applied to lower part of slab. The issue remains that pre slab pour concreters were told the cracker bars in this section needed to be lifted up and they said it was done. During pour it must have dropped back down as it isn't in the top 1/3 of slab as agreed on the day. Solution, nothing can be done re its position in slab and we've been reassured this bar once corrected sealed treated and properly covered still keeps the slab integrity high. <br>
<br>
- Alfresco – the aluminium sliding door frame bottom sill section is showing a bow downwards of about 10 mm. Supervisor has had a go at his internal chippy once again as this is yet another thing he "forgot" to do. Seriously if the SS wasn't friends with the internal chippy I think he would have been put into line a long time ago. Door to be packed and sealed soon.<br>
<br>
- Guest bedroom – the wall outside the ensuite is showing misalignment of about 10 mm. Wall needs re working.<br>
<br>
- Fascia & guttering not aligned yet.<br>
<br>
- Garage Hebel overhang by 50mm, I was worried this now in neighbours land now but told our slab was 80mm short of boundary line so we still have 30mm. Lucky for that or I might have had a fit. Whether or not the slab was actually on the boundary line or not I will never know as impossible to check as front boundary dot on footpath disappeared when United Energy dug the underground electrical pit.<br>
<br>
- Entry door frame completely needs working as margin of 7mm gap in door to frame and also a 7mm out of plum in the whole frame too. Apparently they haven't replaced the hinges which will correct the gap but the frame needs reworking too.<br>
<br>
- Various bowed skirtings and plastered walls were marked and should have been picked up pre paint by builders.<br>
<br>
- Roof space – the pipe is running through the manhole opening and inhibiting clear access through the manhole. Plumbers will correct this when they come and correct other issues and pipes.<br>
<br>
- Lounge – I was able to detect an out of square skirting that exceeded the allowance of 4 mm tolerance over 2.0m.<br>
<br>
- Kitchen – the bulkhead is showing out of level from front to rear by about 10mm. This is very evident at the overhead cupboard end panels<br>
<br>
- Missing waterproofing to wet areas as per BV which we paid extra to do. Still not done. Tiler now going to be delayed as they now have to come back and do this. <br>
<br>
Tiles are all onsite and are correct ones. I just hope they put the correct ones in the correct location! Also I confirmed the tiles we selected are the 15mm grout line. The tiles/grouting needs to be sealed post handover as PD don't do this, must add that to my list of jobs and quotes.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Today we met with site supervisor which was great as many issues can be instantly resolved or noted in person rather via phone or emails etc. Also helps me feel a connection to the process along with supervisor rather than just a painful customer noting or complaining about every tiny issue. </div>
<div>
I felt reassured all issues have been acknowledged and fixes are coming. Others new to SS will be fixed now rather than wait for pre completion inspection. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Excitingly he think house will be finished by end of June. That's a 7 month build including a large break over Xmas nye period. Wow.<br>
Now I better start with landscapers...</div>

This is where the kitchen piping was altered due to a design fault but luckily the plumbers could correct it so I can still have my corner cupboards.<br>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Slab, slab and slab. The same issues remain, with poor repairs and patch jobs done. All goes back to these images. Oh and the repairs they have done are crumbling already and incomplete. AND we have now exposed steel frame/wire from the slab on one wall that looks rusted already. They have done a grout filler on sections where overhang was but in some areas that is crumbling away too. The rain water tank slab ok but not great workmanship.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">- Down pipe above garage (outside bedroom2) & one on west side of house are flapping back and forth with the wind constantly; looks like their bracing brackets have detached from the wall and swinging.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- The WIP cabinetry issue. The corner cupboard can't be opened or used because the mini wall containing the plumbing stack has been made too big. The cascading problem is now we can't use that corner cupboard because the wall is 470mm and too long. Taking measurements from the cupboard side of this wall (containing plumbing stack) it should measure 320 but instead onsite it measures 470. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> The pipe sits out of the way up until 2000mm then angles at 45 deg pitch towards the right and then up into the ceiling. <b>Plumbers were onsite today fixing this, hopefully the wall will be reduced soon too. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- Full area waterproofing to all wet areas both levels still not done as per contract (to be done post painting)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- The wall corner entering the lounge is clearly not at 90 degrees on the skirting</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- Garage roller door does not close fully to a vertical angle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- The right side plumbing waste pipe in the guest ensuite was not moved to the right as it was meant to be. Now the cabinets have been installed the pipe now under draws. It still needs to be moved 300-400mm to the right. Plumbers didn't fix this today despite being onsite!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- Cabinetry fine tuning & fixing open/close of a few doors I'm sure this gets reviewed pre handover so wont mention. I know every door and mechanism that doesn't work already and so glad I could review this at my own pace pre front door being replaced and hence now locked. Master Ensuite shelves are not level as they've drilled holes wrong, looks very odd (just like the front door lock). </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- New front door now installed at last and hurray for chippy who put lock and handle in correct location this time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- Awaiting wardrobe fit outs & new correct robe doors to arrive</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">- Alfresco sliding door frame is bowed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- Excessive concrete removal on neighbours garden.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Painters are in and I think busy doing what they do. I hope they do the 3 layered paint as required, no way to check if they are actually doing this. We have chosen white all over the house as mark up costs to custom do feature walls too much, might to post handover. Haha yeah right, temporary is permanent in our house!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
Felt pushed aside by SS lately and know he is really working hard as 3 other supervisors have resigned and he has been looking after over 20 buildings concurrently for a period of time (hopefully no more). Excessive workload is unacceptable and reflects badly on Porter Davis. Luckily they have new guys all starting and hopefully our SS not so strung out and can supervise our job more. I have locked in an site inspection with SS next week and bringing backup so I stop getting wishy washy answers and fixes (husband is better at being direct).Bindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04959713849392508707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693068720632862867.post-50314482546283994182015-04-22T22:21:00.001+10:002015-04-29T21:56:44.474+10:00Pre paint visit.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Water tank in. Hmm how are they going to render that section of hebel now that is installed? The "fixed" section of slab looks unpleasant and the patch work grout they have put all along the wall under hebel because of overhang pre render is flaking off where rain landing on it from down pipe above. Not good.</div>

Happy days. Let's see if they fix all the issues I noted in email to them today. Painter starts tomorrow after preparing walls doors etc today. </div>

Cabinetry installed in most areas but far from complete.<br />
<div>
Why oh why is perfection not expected by tradies? Walls not squared to 90degrees, doors can't open properly due to plaster out and kitchen cupboards not right. One cupboard can't even open because they've designed the hinge against a wall, unsure how they can solve that one as they haven't followed their designs. Also the colours aren't correct in one section of tower with upper colour being in lower area (i might let this pass if no one else notices). The cupboards on bar stool side of bench look really random and hoping once protective covers removed they are the same colour as each other. </div>
<div>
Bedroom robes have wrong mirrored doors & they completely forgot about our wardrobe fitouts that were not even ordered. Lucky I had the hard copy of invoice for that to prove we did ask for fully mirrored doors, not window frame mirror doors and we did have draws and shelves in cupboards.<br />
Everything looks so much smaller now the plaster is installed and doors in, Im so used to looking through the frame it comes as a shock to see the rooms walled.<br />
Hoping for a good week ahead, painters are meant to start on Thursday.<br />
Waterproofing in bathrooms still not completed and front door still yet to be replaced.<br />
Garage door installed but looks like it can't close fully, I hope this is a temporary issue and not permanent.<br />

I don't want it as that's wasted storage space in my opinion for our busy household and we want carpet on stairs. Turns out stair company made wrong stairs for us and didn't want to remake the ones we ordered. Oh well, they are now delaying their other jobs to build ours which should have been installed today and then get it from QLD to Vic.<br />
<div>
Not to worry about the delay too much, cabinetry and painting delayed 2 weeks, has allowed me to go on holidays semi stress free knowing not much happening until stairs are in. </div>
<div>
House looks good with lots of lovely natural light. </div>

A point of note our SS is now managing 21 house builds due to 3 supervisors leaving PD recently and they're waiting for new guys to train up in next month. I guess my micro supervision from a distance (ie sneaky site visits) helps reduce my stress. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Our place is now officially at lockup now with all windows and doors in. However that said they are waiting on new front door to come from Sydney so can't actually lock front door yet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Roof flashing done but final tile yet to be set in place. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Window winders are not all fixed yet, Stegbar to return pre completion for full service and adjustments. A few dont shut evenly and some are very loose. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Wet area waterproofing done to standard plan but we paid extra to have entire floors and tiled areas done. This was noted today and SS will rectify. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The rain water tank slab was meant to have ableflex joint between it on engineering plans but not done. Concreter reviewed site with engineering after he questioned need for ableflex joint prior to pour and said having it joined to house slab will make it more stable. Why didn't we get told this earlier or have plans altered? So that's all done. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I have to kill weed forest tomorrow as site should be cleared soon of all debris and can't see most of it at the moment due to weeds. SS will spray it if I leave the poison for him but I will do it myself to make sure its done fully.</div>

Despite the past month nothing happening and delays in getting plaster started its still in on track to finish 2 months early. They are suggesting mid July we will have our keys, super happy with that (a little bit of me still is planning for at least August finish). So time to think about post handover tasks and things I need to buy, here's my list so far:<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Plasterers "fixed" slab issues apparently as per SS, so I went & looked for myself and they must have only just left as it was still wet. As long as it's structurally fine as they assured me and it's just cosmetic I have to accept these repairs that will be covered with render in weeks to come anyway. They put steel at angel under one section and then filled it to satisfy our Inspector they said they normally wouldn't do this. </span></div>

I had to submit a building objection to council on Friday because our next door neighbours are developers dividing block next to us. Never done one before and feel bad but don't like the idea they are planting a tree agsinst our backyard fence that could grow to 12m high in their building plans. Hopefully they will move it to other side of their yard. Also they are building 2 town houses and building on boundary line in several areas with an underground car park which means a massive 3.4m deep crater will be dug 1.2m away from our new house. I'm nervous they are going to damage our slab when they dig the piers & excavate their site in the next few months. Will see what council have to say. </div>

The door handle seems a bit low but the lock is so high I have to stand on tippy toes to insert key - What Was He Thinking?????? I know I'm short but it's at the almost 2m height...<br />
<div>
I said he will have to change it but he said he will leave it for now as he'd just finished. Seriously are they from another planet. </div>

<div>
Roof on alfresco now on but not yet finished at edges. </div>
<div>
Insulation finished in most areas. </div>
<div>
Couldn't see wet areas inside but can still see light in roof where I shouldn't. </div>
<div>
Some frame issues fixed and some told not to worry about as non structural. </div>
<div>
Toilet air vent pipes not installed yet. </div>
<div>
Sliding door frame pockets not nailed and when I told carpenter today he didn't even know about it despite me telling SS several times. </div>
<div>
Slab issues remain</div>

Windows still not finished or replaced</div>

Plumbing issues mostly fixed with all pipes (gas/water) secure and held in place nicely in roof and walls and siliconed at every entry point in stud or noggin. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Slab issues remain. Unacceptable overhangs still not filled and gaps and holes need filling. Most issues around garage so there isn't such weight on it but it must be fixed to meet standards codes and hebel covering most of it up now. Hopefully slab supervisor can meet me on site to discuss issues ASAP. We are getting annoyed still not fixed. </div>

Hmm, I've been pacified re issues but I will believe it is all fixed when I see it for my own eyes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Scaffolding down, this means render complete to upper floors, eaves, gutters complete. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Windows not yet properly glazed and finished installing all windows/frames. Stegbar due out next week to finish the job and I've been told fix the sagging sliding doors. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Apparently an apprentice was helping our internal carpenter and didn't do good job, he's no longer employed. So, our frame issues remain. Heard several times already they are coming ##day to fix it...blah blah blah. Plaster delayed again till next Friday. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Here's what I've learnt. Every trade is a contractor. They do their job and leave. If they do a bad job then it takes time to get them back because it means they're already on other jobs and it means they loose money by returning to fix issues or jobs. They are all "under the pump" to finish jobs. My thinking is, who cares how many jobs they have. Do a good job the first time like you are being PAID to do and you don't loose money by coming back to a finished job that was done shit. I WILL notice and yes I will continue to remind you it needs fixing despite it only been a minor and non structural issue and not vital in "your" opinion but still set out in Australian standards codes as unacceptable and you say it can be corrected in next stage. Seriously didn't your mother teach you to do it right the first time or yes I will ask you to do it again and again until you get it right. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Oh just because you said you'd fix it doesn't mean it will be done, & if frame goes up and concreter will come and fill it but doesn't and then hebel guys come and cover up issue so I can't see it anymore; YES I still know it's not done and yes you still have to fix it even if yes they have to take hebel off again. Do it right the first time people. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Ok rant over. I'm a perfectionist and don't like others not doing it right. I'm tired from stressing over it and lack of sleep. SS says leave the stress to me - as if I can leave you in control, youre so busy with other jobs and I don't trust you to remember it all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Ooh I think I need sleep and might have to edit this later!</div>

Really getting annoyed now as delays continue despite SS pushing to have plaster start. He is meant to be my advocate in getting walls right before plaster hides all the errors but it feels like I am reminding him what needs doing. <div>Anyway most of hebel finished and render almost finished. Scaffolding was meant to come down Friday but still there & should be down tue. </div><div>We got lockup invoice but they haven't put dining room roof on and windows aren't complete so reminded them that I won't be paying until they are actually at lockup stage. SS apologized for forgetting that and all agree not at lockup yet. </div><div>Bumped into concreter fixing some concrete stuff onsite, I just went back and he only fixed one issue and left the others. </div><div>After the big storm pools of water in guest room, kitchen area and upstairs activity area - proof they are NOT at lockup stage and possibly damaging plaster sitting in floor. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiwOmDyBNgyogk7-59GMIpd5eKKt7JPrWYt-eQraCgZtNlVtx7MJuTUkLq6GMDbQ9MptSCa__UR9QcWEvIXf04bs3yS1EEeuvnTNXIOWvpeixo_IT_nEqS4sLIFoOSyBtbQ_BVRjtk3Fk/s640/blogger-image-580725739.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Lots of walls not finished perfectly yet, Bow's in walls, few missing noggins, they were replacing a failed truss and various other things not yet finished or not yet done to standard. Why oh why did supervisor want my lock up inspection done then if he wasn't ready? Hopefully the framer and lockup carpenter will fix it all soon. Plaster delayed now till thrs next week and a good thing as too much to do before then. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Plumbers still have to come back and fix pipes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Electrician still completing things. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Windows not yet finished in some areas. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Range hood and oven marked in wrong spot, lucky I knew my kitchen culture plans very precisely and noticed. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Recessed cabinets still not done. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Fan vents need installing. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Insulation was due to be done tue/wed. BUT last night Neighbour called to say at 930pm fri night in pitch black and bucketing rain there were people with torches in house and a trailer outside with stuff in it. Supervisor said no one meant to be there so I go to site and call police. I didn't feel safe to go in and see who was there as construction site theft common and I thought that's what was going on. Police were great, quick and didn't seem to mind it wasn't as burglars. Better to be safe than sorry, rather than go into house unsure how many inside and what they're doing. Turns out it's insulation guys installing ahead of time. Supervisor really annoyed as not meant to come till next week. I got their details and I feel bad for them but they are going to be fired on Monday. He said this is not how PD operate and trades shouldn't be coming on site after 9pm and ahead of schedule. Unsure how this will effect fixes to frame and electrical and plumbing as most of installation installed. Love our neighborhood watch; nothing passes my Neighbour. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1duo9k2rPLBwVginjByUCoDFYAxvLjrm47CI4DQRyRQdV7GGc95PYM9JItz754ux1zVTYm9TTn4et5XkKb1HQWopQUoKAouDyTI5ReQapbnHj99WPKibj5MbFeKCKdGKu7YtipNxZjWM/s640/blogger-image--764380777.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a>Walls still not flush</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1ug1xJGtiq012t9oIRfGwohscYSc9a_3CU-WBipMuSXYgVOlI-7XujNMWTwxC6JF31he2z3tBGyGaaNBiV6kOu8td0BeSA9reBZutSxegyvV7qvBeIV3_l49b19anaWLai71BY_9vvJA/s640/blogger-image--736634643.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1ug1xJGtiq012t9oIRfGwohscYSc9a_3CU-WBipMuSXYgVOlI-7XujNMWTwxC6JF31he2z3tBGyGaaNBiV6kOu8td0BeSA9reBZutSxegyvV7qvBeIV3_l49b19anaWLai71BY_9vvJA/s640/blogger-image--736634643.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Door not yet secured and is bowed in middle. <br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1ug1xJGtiq012t9oIRfGwohscYSc9a_3CU-WBipMuSXYgVOlI-7XujNMWTwxC6JF31he2z3tBGyGaaNBiV6kOu8td0BeSA9reBZutSxegyvV7qvBeIV3_l49b19anaWLai71BY_9vvJA/s640/blogger-image--736634643.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGjFcS0TYEVIIidjYLmHxRu8fN4TxZ-5wrBy2-A4NP1cpMSSWvS191iz0mVyJxfRigrgHSKSOYEjdxyzOKpNNftfyXRVEw_2K5CNsMmmNM6gvXbgXXg33gAZgUE6IC5BK6A4cfvgNT4sc/s640/blogger-image--179194088.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGjFcS0TYEVIIidjYLmHxRu8fN4TxZ-5wrBy2-A4NP1cpMSSWvS191iz0mVyJxfRigrgHSKSOYEjdxyzOKpNNftfyXRVEw_2K5CNsMmmNM6gvXbgXXg33gAZgUE6IC5BK6A4cfvgNT4sc/s640/blogger-image--179194088.jpg"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">View from Alfresco into dining room</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNqNqra2_YhA9rvqXDyqYN-ZOgX6hxeiz-C4Wm3nTt8CsdwtPWQXfy4wx91xeQJi2ihFKZN7DB-FXHuQlrloSFDufFQGGo9Nvz2FIDoyah9CZuAlAonJQFcs1blImNdMTyfBlX1nwDSQI/s640/blogger-image-766771677.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNqNqra2_YhA9rvqXDyqYN-ZOgX6hxeiz-C4Wm3nTt8CsdwtPWQXfy4wx91xeQJi2ihFKZN7DB-FXHuQlrloSFDufFQGGo9Nvz2FIDoyah9CZuAlAonJQFcs1blImNdMTyfBlX1nwDSQI/s640/blogger-image-766771677.jpg"></a></div><br></div></div></div></div>Bindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04959713849392508707noreply@blogger.com0
