A driveway and more!!!!!!!!!!

We had a meeting at our house with our builders area manager to discuss our concerns and I'm feeling positive about our house again!

OH made some phone calls yesterday in an effort to find somebody who would listen to our concerns about the house... and he came up trumps when he was directed to the area manager (I think that's his title). He listened to what Bryan had to say about our house and our experiences and actually suggested that we bring in Kevin to inspect the place. How different is that considering our SS really doesn't want us to bring our own inspector in (and it so happens that Kevin is our chosen inspector too).

We met with him today at the house it was like a breath of fresh air for me. He was pleasant and easy to talk to and listened to all of our concerns and explained things where necessary and let us know that all of what we'd pointed out were reasonable concerns that needed to be fixed.

It also helped that we arrived to see that the driveway had been done and there were two different groups of tradesman working - a very pleaseant surprise I'm feeling again that our house may be finished in the near future. We will be calling Kevin on Monday to rebook our inpsection allowing them about a week to finish the list of jobs so far (it will take that long to get an appointment from what I was told by Kevins office this week when I stupidly let my appointment go because SS wouldn't call me back to confirm a time). Following that we will present Kevin's report to the SS and CSO and will book our PCI after that.

So after a bit of a photo drought, I finally have some pictures of our house with our new driveway and path...

  1. Hi Sophie,

    I've been following your blog for a couple of months now. It's been a really great resource as my partner and I are about to build the Hillcrest 2100 in Ballarat. Are you guys any closer to handover? What kind of delays are you experiencing in the final stages? Hope everything is going well for you.

    Cheers, Fi
