Should have this updated last week but been busy, there are quite a few things happening for the new house:
Last Friday was my third walkthrough with SS after the PCI, most items have been fixed which i was pleased, however there are still outstanding items – such as water pipe brick work, some paint touch up, gas pipe UV spray, driveway/garage floor cleanup, toilet flyscreen, IXL fan light is still wrong…etc… so still a fair bit of works required
But SS was confident that they can all be fixed by 06May which is tomorrow… let’s hope so.. He also confirmed that the Occupancy of Certificate has been issued, so we should be able to do a handover tomorrow
Last Friday after the site meeting, I also called the bank and organise the final payment. I am quite worried because they need to do an inspection before giving me a cheque, but surprisingly the bank called me in the early morning today and confirmed that the inspection has passed and the cheque is available in 30mins in the brand that i nominee.. woo, how wonderful…
Also called my loan manager today who organise the house insurance for me, done straight through no issue at all
So look like i have what i need for tomorrow, let’s see if they really fix everything..
I just place online order 2 pendants lights and 1 wall light for my dinning/kitchen and lounge room, so happy for it… my annual leave has been approved and removalist has also been booked.. wooo bring on the move as i am soooooooooo excited…

so how did it go?
hi,
glad to hear that you're settling soon. as for me, PCI took place more than 2 weeks ago. SS took urgent personal leave, Construction Manager took over, said will finish outstanding items by Tuesday this week, it didn't happen. went to their office this morning, spoke to 2 managers and CSO, did one more inspection with another SS and will book for settlement next week. this is the problem with them, too many unfulfilled promises, telling that they will call by this date and time, never happens. final cheque is ready for final settlement since last week, just called head office and booked for settlement tomorrow.
hey brimbank, did they go over the promised handover date yet? if they haven't i dont think they'd care
hi zeplatypus, only a few minor things are left, can't wait for them to finish those as i'm now paying for rent and mortgage, losing money every week. plus, i'm having my week off next week so i want to use that time to organize my move.
i've signed off the original PCI form and booked for settlement at head office tomorrow. will get my keys by then.
a new PCI form signed with the outstanding issues such as missing mortar on some bricks, missing catch on 1 door, some doors not closing properly, missing handles on the ensuite vanity cabinets. paint touch ups done and the house seem acceptable so i can live with having the other items fixed after handover. if they don't fix it, it will be claimed on the 3 month maintenance period. signed new PCI form for this, SS said they will try to fix the remaining items ASAP even after settlement, that's what they've been saying for the past 2 months by the way.
