Such an exhausting day filled with lots of emotion. But so worth it.
We walked through the house with our Site Supervisor and most of the imperfections we found during our last walk through had been fixed. There were still a few things that were not finished, such as;
1. No ducted vacuum unit. Apparently the unit is always installed after handover as it is one thing tradies like to steal!
(I think Metricon need to install security cameras on all their sites!)
2. Some of the walk in robe doors needed to be changed completely. Could have been done before settlement however they needed to wait on materials to be delivered!
I guess they were the two main things. This didn't stop handover though. As exciting as it was to get the keys I really thought we should have waited until all of these things had been completed. Reason being is now I have to organise times to be at home so that these things can be installed and fixed. Very annoying as I just don't have the time to sit around and wait for tradies to come....and we all know how that works!!
Our Site Supervisor has been fantastic. In fact he has helped me coordinate some of these tradies and has forced them to fit into my schedule.
Not sure how other big volume builders work however our Site Supervisor is still looking after us for another month. So if there are any issues we can still call him to get things fixed which is very reassuring considering we have already noticed a few issues since getting the keys.
After three months Metricon will come and see us and check in on any issues we have had. Hopefully there will be no major issues, but again good to know that they will check the house.
I have a busy week ahead with curtains being installed during the week as well as more tradies coming to fix a few things at the house.
Looking forward to settling in the house with the kids. They are really excited to have their on rooms and space. After living on top of each other for the last few years it will be a big change for all of us.

Congratulations on getting your keys - you must be feeling on the top of the world. Your flooring and the windows in Dining are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteOur stairs and waterproofing activities go this week and I am praying if we would have our PCi by Australia Day next year!
Thanks so much for your well wishes. Yes we are feeling pretty good, but I think the hard task of moving in will be the greatest test of all! All the best with your build. I look forward to seeing the progress. Jan 26 is not that far away!
ReplyDeleteKeys! Congratulations. I can't imagine how it feels after such a long journey! House looks amazing. I hope the move is going well!
