Thanks all. Pictures would be little more than a mountain of boxes at the moment but as soon as we get straighten out.

Epoxy floor in the garage came up a treat! Will never see it so empty again!!!

Can’t recommend these guys enough: he came on the day he said he would,…

We have our keys but ..... M ran out of the Salt and Pepper gift boxes!!!!! Was so looking forward to the obligatory photo. Will have to wait so posting…

And so the day has arrived, pci done, blue tape in many places but looking to close out handover today and get the salt and pepper pots! Looking forward to…

There's a first: I've just chased up M to send me my final invoice!
Looks like M will stand their ground on not handing over the keys until payment has…

Now just need landscaper to blast through, a few trips to IKEA, Kingliving, freedom and who knows how many other shops to get the house looking more like a home.....…

Fair play, it's really down to M to make this stuff clear, not like we've don't this before.
You could get "works completed as planned" certificates for storm water, electrical…

Wow - I'd clearly not thought it through in enough detail. I had assumed that with Sky-fi we'd have full control. I knew I wouldn't have thermostat in every zone/room.…

That looks like a lot of fun! I'm guessing you've not got a full occupancy certificate? Did M hand over the IOC?

Couldn't agree more NomNomNom, if, as a customer, you don't hold your ground they will just look to push it through.
M Having installed wooden floors and partially covered them…

I'd agree with April..... 2019. In fact if they started your build now and it went like mine April 2019 is a realistic date!
My dates:
June 2015 -initial deposit
June 2016…

Took us about 7 months, then another 5 to submit to council and get approval, and M still managed to send the wrong external selections to council......I believe it! Just…

I Hope so BC20, but don't your breath, a week's delay in admin really is just the tip of the ice burg. We've got to over 6 months delay in…

Thanks, looking forward to getting a run down from M. Have to say it's not the full remote/wifi controller id expected.... electrical consult did a good job of up selling…

Thanks SteveMc, I had upgrade to the Skyfi. I'm assuming that M simply haven't installed the correct control panel!
Will have a look at the cool nest options.

Did you have to request this controller specifically as part of electrical consult?
It seems a perfectly sensible option but I don't recall it having been called out/specified in the…

Tell me about it. At a minimum those switches need to be Saturn. We have 4 zones and had fully expected to have them integrated as part of the main…

AC unit zone control:
Did anyone in sydney/or anywhere else get their AC zone switches integrated to the overall ac control panel??
We upgraded our ac to have the wifi…

Welcome to what I hope is a enjoyable experience. Sounds like you've selected/upgrade most of the usual stuff some minor pointers we've found:
The zone control switches may not be…

And so the wait/repairs continue!!! But we now have updates from Metricons GM! Yes we've escalated and are at least getting some management support to our tieless CM. M did…

No I didn't but now that I'm over 6 months behind contractual completion if I had I'd have cover my landscaping off and then some. I'm sure it would also…

Only other tip I'd add to anyone building is up the late deliver fee! The $30 a day or $100/$500 a week isn't enough for all the pain you go…

We went with a door, the sliding door didn't make sense for us as we wanted to have more space for the fridge and a regular door simply open onto…

If only emmyawards!
So at least 7 of the trades that were planned for last week failed to either turn up or finish their jobs! Safe to say that we've…

We adjusted by 8 hours and bang, trades down tools and close up at lunchtime Friday! Give an inch and we've lost at least two days,

And as if by magic... delays have occurred and PCI at risk!
We've book houspect in for Monday but there will still be cleaning, M's QA and scaffold up! If…

Seems in the end you just pipped us to the finish line.
Would love to hear how you go with LD as I'm sure I'll not be far off you…

Today is all about painting: all of it needs to be finished to keep our pci on track.....

Still have scaffold up! But now that CM has taken over from our third SM (he too has now left, but I think he was moved along) we've been given…
