Sure there will be cosmetic issues, but we want to ensure that any Build / Structural items are properly documented.
Item's that we want looked at are as follows:
- Entire Garage Looked over, as there are many build and finish issues that require attention
- Window Fitment
- Missing Bricks
- Broken Bricks
- Rough garage floor (concrete filling in gaps that look pretty bad)
- Bad Finishes that i was told were to be covered
- Scratched Downpipe and poor fitment
- All Installed Windows
- Some windows are set so far back i can see the foil wrap on the house
- Scratches and paint overspray on frames
- Window seals
- All Door Seals and Frames
- Front Door missing side treatments to the point that you can see the building frame and foil wrap
- Rear Sliding Door seal is damaged
- Upstairs window in activity area has bad overspray
- Check Floor levels and Finishes (general)
- Check to make sure the floor in the down stairs powder room has been correctly installed as per an earlier report with the wrong fall on the slab.
- Island Bench Fitment
- One side of the waterfall is perfectly installed, the other side has been cut to wide and has a noticeable lip on each side.
- Manhole cover obstruction
- Had a timber beam covering the hole to one side that made the hole smaller.
- Fixings checked over for poor fitment etc
- General Overview
- noticed that some skirting issues etc
- All Plaster and Paint
- some areas don't appear to even have 2 coats let alone 3
- finishes and cut ins (especially over the kitchen over head cupboards need addressing)
- below power points etc where plaster has been damaged
- Alfresco Roof has a noticeable slant
- Alfresco Floor has been damaged by site works and has big chip in it
- Flooring in under stairs storeroom was not complete. they literally finished it with under a meter to go.....
- HDMI cable in roof hasn't been terminated / pulled through
- Considering the charge for this, i expect more. (at least a hdmi plate thats terminated correctly.
- Request for Wiring locations of speaker wire.
- Once again, considering the charge, most professional installers will provide measurements where the wires are located.
- Termite Guard installation
- To low in some areas
- Not Covered in others
- Water Leak / Unknown Wet Spots on side of house
- Possible internal leak
- Will want any rectification works to occur internally
- Family Bathroom requires 1 vanity to be replaced / repaired due to cosmetic damaged.
- Ensure all door stops are on. Already one door has gone through plaster and will require fixing.
- Ensure roof insulation is completed correctly.
- Rear Terrance Block out balustrade not yet installed
- Cant get Cert of Occupancy without it
- Flooring edges have no trim so looks crap when looking at it from the backyard
- Final boxing of the side balustrade area is also very rough. Someone needs to buy a sander before they paint.
- Front Portico area needs concreting shaved.
- They had to extend the portico out and the concrete wasn't boxed square. Looks crap
- Portico needs a good clean. Paint all over it etc
Now just a Disclaimer, These are items i wish to have rectified. Some may already be booked in to be fixed etc. Porter Davis so far have been great and i don't doubt they will produce a lovely well built home. But at the end of the day, Building a home is complicated and everyone makes mistakes. It's how a person / company deals with them that makes the difference between a bad builder and a good one.
