PCI 26th November

We were suppose to have our PCI on the 21st but our SS called and postponed it as he wanted to have most of it completed before PCI. Unfortunately there was a few issues till not completed due to the fact the electrician, the cladding guy and a few other hadn't turned up when they should have.   not coming on time. It went better than we hoped except for a few issues.
It took us 3 hours to check everything. SS noted down issues we had most of them minor ones a few a bit concerning
Bricks in garage wall was wet was worried it was due to a leak but SS said there s no leak will be keeping checking before handover.
Telephone point is in the galley instead of the kitchen not sure whether its possible to change it.
the fridge cavity height is  smaller than we asked for. SS said he will order new cupboard that will be smaller than this and fix it but might be after handover.

Other than that the few issues like having a switch on middle of glass splash back( installation after handover) etc should be done before handover.

We have a chip on our master bathroom essa stone bench top. it has been filled its still visible we asked to change it but SS has agreed to polish it so it wont be visible. not sure whether we should push for it.

Also wondering whether the the following will be connected installed on the day we move in. I thought it was only the appliance,

We were told our

appliance
Hot water tank
Heater & cooler connections
Data points
projector pre-wire point.
motions sensors of alarm
pre-wire video com

will be done on the day we ware suppose to move in. Bit confused about Data points etc thought it can be done before handover.

We will be having Handover on Monday.

will upload more pictures soon

Sorry haven't been able to keep the blog up to date. mostly cause I have been busy and its been frustrating with the delays then we had issues with our feature window.

After requesting for tile for the whole feature window as per Aspire display at our tile appointment. We were were following up with our BC and SS about the window as in the construction drawing it had architraves around it. As it wasn't the case at the display. The only responses we got was the tiler would do it or if it s in the tile document it will be done.

Finally when it was time for tiling we even explained to the tiler. but when we drove past one day to our horror we realised they hadn't removed the architraves as told but tiled all around it. we didn't pay the extra $$$ to get something different to the display. They wanted to charge us again saying we weren't charge for it when it was our BC hasn't been very helpful during this and hadn't been able to even inform our SS that we were charged for the feature wall as its very clear in the tile document.
Apparently there has to be a different window  and tile consultants  have to inform PD  if the client request for a feature wall around. a window.  Remember to discuss this with your BC before contract signing and get it included in contract drawing. It will save you time and frustration.

After discussing with the SS we agreed to directly communicate with him emails phone calls etc and it has been much better we were able to identify a few mistakes early which has saved us time.


After couple delays we FINALLY had our PCI on Tuesday 26th November.
