Can't see handover happening

David and I went to the house today at 3:00 (handover is meant to be tomorrow morning) and we could see the downpipe has been fixed but the cabinet makers have obviously not come nor had the painters. The flyscreen laying in the backyard is still there all bent up and the house has not been cleaned. There was nobody there of course.

Considering once the bathroom vanity top has been replaced they still need a plumber to put the sink back on there is no hope for tomorrow. SS has not answered his phone all day. I called CSR to find out what is going on, she said she would get the building manager to call but again nothing.

We are totally at a loss as to what to do, there does not seem to be any hope of ever getting everything done and we have the people coming on Monday to install the plantation shutters. Maybe they will accept our offer of handover now in return for a $10,000 refund??? Speaking of refunds they actually have agreed to give us the $1000 refund for the gutters to not be replaced.

We still haven't given notice on our rental so maybe we can just give up on getting the house and keep renting. It would be just like having an investment property but with no-one living in it!

Hi,

I have been following your progress as i am building the same house. Seeing what your going through, your actually scarring me. I am now so paranoid about my house.

snistr, your house looks great, we have very similar colour schemes don't we? Maybe you will have a lot better luck when it comes time for PCI and handover. I am so upset over the whole thing I just don't know how to get the house finished and neither does PD it seems. What a nightmare!

The nightmare continues! I can't believe that this is still happening to you. Have you considered calling up and throwing around a few choice words such as " Building Commission, Today Tonight, A Current Affair, Master Builders Assoc.,Product Review.com.au ...." Fight dirty, the time for playing nicely is OVER!!!

This is ridiculous on PD's part. I wonder they are not even bothered about their reputation. i agree with K&T, now its time to play dirty with them.
All the best and really hope that things turn out well for you
