SITE MEETING WITH SS

On Friday we met with our Site Supervisor as we wanted to check on the house progress and make sure we are still on target for our PCI date.


Tiles have been finished to Main Bathroom and on inspection 1 tile needs to be removed and redone as it sits proud of all the other tiles.
Also it appears their is a colour variance in the original tiles laid and the top 3 rows.


SS can't understand why we were short tiles to begin with but now as a result it may end up being a costly mistake as the colour variance was very noticeable. Chances are they are out of different batches hence the colour variance.


Waiting on SS to come back to us with how this will be rectified.


Everything else seems to be on track - Painters were meant to be on site all weekend although they did not turn up to site on till Sunday. Internal doors were painted when we walked through just not installed. Much happier with the doors now that they are the correct ones.


Bathroom and Electrical fit off scheduled for today, hopefully the painters haven't delayed things further by not being finished and still on site today.


Should have Interim OC by 6th September so as long as everything continues and trades turn up as scheduled we are still on track for PCI 12th September.


Only other issue that we spotted was the colour of the bricks has dulled majorly with the brick cleans.
As they have cleaned the bricks more than once they are actually loosing their colour. Not sure on how this will be rectified - we have chosen to wait till PCI to assess them as if they clean them again they will be even worse.
Quality of bricks is all good apart from this which could end up being a fairly large problem - only time will tell though.

PROGRESS UPDATE - KITCHEN SPLASHBACK INSTALLED

Work on site has been slow last week - site is basically stopped waiting on painters to get in and paint.
Spoke with SS today and he advised that he has all trades booked to our site for the next 3 weeks right down to flooring so hopefully we will still see PCI by 12th September as per contract.


Went to block on weekend to paint our shipping container and put a few posts in to finish retaining wall on low side.


To our surprise our kitchen splashback had been installed.
It looks fantastic - cant wait to see appliances and flooring in.


No other major changes -  the new internal doors are due to be delivered to site today with carpenter booked in for tomorrow to install them all.
Tiler should be back today to finish off Main bathroom as extra tiles were delivered waiting install.


On the down side we have had a few instances of people deciding they can help them selves to things from our site. This weekend it was pallets. Prior to that it was colour bond sheeting and tools from the site next door.
I have advised SS this morning to ensure house is fully locked up each day from now on as we came back to site yesterday afternoon to find the house fully open and the pallets gone.


We are so close to completion that I don't want someone coming in a taking stuff from inside as well.

PROGRESS UPDATE - TILING

Tiler commenced last Wednesday, very happy with his work so far.
Meant to be finished today but don't think he will be done till Friday.




Painters scheduled for today hopefully they are on site as scheduled.
