It's been a week since our last update... why you might ask? Well it's because nothing has been done since. It seems that we're back to the cycle of 2-3 days of trades everywhere and then no progress for a week or so.
Even though we have a PCI date, it's extremely frustrating to watch the house just sit there especially when we are paying rent and 90% of our mortgage.
We do understand that our SS is busy and he has been fantastic so far so we haven't contacted him or pushed him. Having said that PD need to get there act together and stop overloading there staff.
Speaking of PD staff. We have had serious communication issues with our BC. We have been trying to get a BV raised for close to two months now and sent multiple emails without any responses. Last week I called her and she promised she would raise the BV ASAP and send out the confirmation letter of our PCI and settlement dates. Another week has gone past and nothing...
So that's pretty much how we are feeling right now... and I think this is common from other builds I have followed.
Let's hope there are no more delays!
Hi Joe,
ReplyDeleteHope your house progresses quickly with no major setbacks!
Been following your blog for a while now, and as we are also building the dunedin (31) we just had a few questions in regards to your facade. 1) what facade did you pick?
2) what changes did you make?
3) cost for the changes you made.
Thanks so much- its coming close for us to submit all our final requirements to any help is much appreciated!
G'day,
ReplyDelete1) Grifith Facade
2) Render addition to pillars and brickwork over garage door
3) Sorry was part of a package. Around 1k from memory though.
No worries at all. I hope that helps.
Hello Joe,
ReplyDeleteTook 2 months for my downlight credit to be added via a seperate BV. Quite annoying to keep having to email them...
Hi Matt,
DeleteThat sucks. I completely agree.
Hope your build is progressing well.
