Kevin's 1st Pre-Handover Inspection 19th June '08

Well Kevin from New Home Inspections met Ian and I onsite at 1pm today, our S/S and C/M were also present for the whole inspection to go through anything that was required and action it straight away - lots of tradies were on-site today to go though the place. It was a hive of activity!!!

It took Kev two hours, which is not bad i suppose? We're hoping to have his report next week sometime.

The good thing is, there was nothing too MAJOR, structurally that Kevin found in the house, just some notations on a few issues with windows, flashing and cladding etc.

Most of the issues were cosmetic so we're hoping that we are not far away from actual handover now.


We also recieved a call from the Handover dept yesterday to book in our First Inspection next Wednesday (25/6) at 3pm. We should have Kevin's report by then so will have all the info in our hands before the meeting.

Then once everything is repaired/resolved on-site we schedule a Second Inspection and we have asked that Kevin be present for that too, to make sure that everything is spot on. (Of course)....

If we are happy with the 2nd inspection, then we can go back to the office and settle on the house and pick up the keys.

Our new B&D contemporary garage door will be installed next week which is great. We had the painters, cabinet-makers and plumbers on-site today doing their thing, as well as a glazier as the 4 glass panels in our front door had to be replaced. It seems the painters didn't tape them up and when they scraped the paint off, they scratched the glass. I would have thought that it would be cheaper to install a new door on, but hey i'm not complaining...it looks good!!!


So wait and see what Kevin's report brings. It won't be long now.....we hope??

Oh and recieved the final invoice via e-mail today too.....
(the only invoice i am actually looking forward to recieving BTW!!!
- cause it means we're nearly there!!!!!!)
