Hello everyone, we had a "bust up" with our Site Supervisor recently! Mainly over a lack of communication, which probably contributed to a lot of our anxiety over the defects found by the inspector we hired, and whether are rectifying those defects properly. The Site Supervisor basically said he has had enough of us putting him down (we have been complaining to his superior about receiving no response from him), and he even said that we are "a bad apple among a bunch of good ones" and hard to please!! :angry: Anyway i don't want to get into the nitty gritty of it all in this blog, as i had a lot of fun responding to his remarks yesterday, so long story short we had a re-inspection performed on our house today and as expected most of the defects are either covered by plaster or other building material and not everything could be re-inspected by the inspector. So where do we go from here? At least we have it on paper, and the builder did agree to fix majority of the defects found. However frustrating, its still a lot better than not having the inspections and be living in a house riddled with ALL those defects.
Our next inspection will be at pre-handover and i have seen inspectors pick up 150 defects at that stage alone!
Here are some latest photos of the house, as you can see plaster is up in majority of the home with some ripped off presumably for rectification purposes. Shower bases, bathtub and some cabinetry are in. Our cornices have also been delivered and lots of dirt around our house waiting to be landscaped when we are closer to moving in.
This blog shall relive our 1st home buying / building experience :) Hope you all enjoy reading it and feel free to make comments.

09/10/10 - Day 101
House looks almost ready to live in doesn't it? :p We had a "Pre-Plaster" inspection a couple of weeks ago and there were 12 more defects that needed rectification/justification. Money well spent on the inspector we have to say but frustrating to find out about defects. However that hasn't slowed the progress on the house as you can see the front facade render has been applied, although one of the defects require the brick wall on the front porch to be pulled down and rebuilt! Plaster walls have also been put in even though there are still some outstanding timber frame issues, and we are also yet to find out if our wall batts (insulation) have been put in. Will update more about it after the builder has rectified things and a re-inspection performed.
