10-2-2011 (Day 219)

Today is Day 219, and liquidated damages were meant to start applying after Day 220 but due to adverse weather conditions, the builder was entitled to apply for extension of the building timeframe to Day 224 (15-2-2011). After that, "Kah Ching"!! $$ our way!

Exposed aggregrate concrete driveway completed today, and our fencing + gate completed PROPERLY, as per contract. Just the remaining 100+ items left to rectify... getting there lol

PCI 7-2-2011 (Day 216)


Hey all, this is Belinda aka Liwan aka Ah Mei updating the blog. We just came back from our PCI (Practical Completion Inspection) with our site supervisor, Paul. Rob from New Homes Inspection was there to do a inspection too and guess what, i believe we found at least 1 hundred defects! Well...some are really tiny and easily fixed while others are pretty massive e.g. missing architraves, scratched glass (doors, windows and splash backs!), broken door handle, dent in the sink, tear in the ceiling etc. We were told by Paul that it usually take around an hour but we actually took almost 3hrs to complete our PCI! Rob also found some defects that we would never have noticed e.g. bow in the wall and cornices. Anyway, the painters came today to finish up our facade and here are the photos. I find the colors a little brown overload but Zee likes it. And btw today is DAY 216 and not DAY 222! Reason is we were told by builder that site start date was 6 days later than what we initially thought (1/7/11).. funny that because we even have photos to prove it! Anyway, in 4 days we will be into liquidated damages territory so the pressure is on them really :)
