Driveway & Concrete Path

Concrete path & drainage solution

With possession of the house, we have wasted no time to get the concreting project started and getting the fence posts in place to facilitate this. We aim to have the driveway done and one side of the house to allow for a nice outdoor area. The color selected is a beige type color, unfortunately I don't have a sample photo to share.

 Our concretes have been fantastic, ensuring that we are involved in each stage of the process and that we are aware and on the same page about the works to be done.

The fencing should have panels in the coming weeks, once the concreting has been done and we are looking forward to our privacy/prevention of rubbish from other builders being thrown on our site.

Final Inspection & Settlement!

The day was finally upon us, the final inspection to ensure that items flagged at PCI had been rectified and the settlement appointment to hand over the final payment (cheque).

The day started fairly bumpy, with headaches at the bank - apparently they didn't know about our loan or that we where picking up a cheque for our final payment. It took a great deal of time, phone calls and waiting to finally sort things out. The branch manager was very helpful with trying to sort things out, while the issue was with the lending department not having their act together.

Onsite we went through the items that had been flagged on the PCI. Most items had been addressed which was good, however the tiles in the showers were still poor/unattended too, much to our dissatisfaction. 

About 9 items were added to the post build fixing list (forgot the name of the form!). We are hoping these are addressed soon (also requires us to be onsite). Normally they are fixed within 14 days.

At the office, we went through the hand over paperwork and certificates for the works done. At the end, once all payments were sorted, we were issued our keys and 'welcome' pack with an assortment of documents in it.
