A lot to update and I am not quite happy

Thursday 27Nov:
Called SS that I want to do a pre-plaster inspection, he seems not happy to hear that because I have just done one not long ago and he said that I didn’t give him enough notices, but he was fine at the end and said that he would arrange with Kevin
So I then called Kevin (the same day) and he is available to do the inspection on Friday 28Nov, so I told him to call SS and arrange it
Then haven’t heard anything since and I thought it all sorted

Sunday 30Nov:
I found that the house is plastered… OMG…

Monday 01Dec:
I called (left him voicemail) Kevin in early morning and asked if he has done the inspection on Friday.
When he returned my call, he wasn’t happy either and keep saying that my SS is a liar, because he was there on Friday and my SS told him to come back this week.. Obviously SS told him that the plaster won’t be up until later this week, so he has plenty of time to do the inspection…
I am not happy either because SS told me the same thing, he said that he couldn’t find trades to put up the plaster, so we still have time to do inspection
Now I keep thinking if they are trying to hide something from me?… why all the sudden, the plasters are up and they know that I want an inspection done first…I become worrying… OMG, I may have some sleepless night coming…
Kevin told me that I now must follow up all defects that he identified from the frame inspection, they must be sorted, then he will do the pre-handover inspection for me, a complete one, not sure what he means but I have to trust him… I just hope that there is no any hidden problem…
I called SS a couple of times yesterday, he promised to review the defect report over the weekend but he didn’t. Said that his computer is having problem blab blab blab.. So I will keep calling him until he find the time to talk to me… the LINEN also need to be fixed as well, the size is incorrect.
Kevin said that he has my SS on the book, and so am I now…

==============
This morning 03Dec, I drove pass and saw 3 (may be 4) brickies have started bricking again… thanks god they come back…
It’s kind of relieve that they come back… but again… I am still missing the inspection, I now just hope that they are doing a good job so not many issue being picked up at a later stage… I still don’t understand how they can plaster before the completion of the bricks

oh no. that's not a good thing. the SS seems dodgy now. better tell him all your inspection plans now so he'll be forced to do a beter job with each stage.

this doesnt look very promising for us. we are also being told not to hire an independent inspector bec its a waste of money.. the SS wont do much about the reports anyway. tsk tsk tsk....

By law, we have right to request private inspection to be done, and they should also follow up any defects. I am not paying any further payment until all resolved
