Issues after handover

Here is the list of issues we had with the house at handover. I will keep listing as the 90 day wait goes on. 

- Hole in wall at front entrance (guessing someone opened the door before the stopper was installed
- Gas heating point not exposed (plumber had to cut holes in the walls to find the positioning as tilers tiled over the mark on the floor where it was)
- Cracked tile in laundry
- Sliding doors sticking
- Most of the internal doors not fitted properly (keep banging when they are shut)
- Rangehood not installed
- Roof insulation not all rolled out (We asked the guys installing our ducted to check for us)
- Some bricks were loose around windows (fixed but still have mortar on bricks that need to be cleaned off)
- Top of kitchen cupboards not sealed to bulkheads
- Pieces of rio stuck into the ground
- Plastic cover missing off powerpoint in pantry
Paint:
- Patches just above skirting boards
- Paint dripped on tiles
- Scuff marks on walls



Post Handover

My last post was from when we got locked out so we couldn't really document much after that. It took 8.5 weeks for them to complete the painting, tiles carpet and garage door etc. We were supposed to have handover on Friday 13th May but bank didn't have our cheque in time so it ended up being on Monday 16th which was extremely annoying as I had the air con company booked in on the Monday to installed our ducted but had to reschedule, luckily they had time the next day. Our ducted was installed on Tuesday 17th we installed a Fujitsu 12.5kw ducted system with round grills. 

I had organised for our appliances to be delivered on Thursday 19th and installed Friday 20th, they were delivered on the Thursday but no one came to install so we went a week without hot water. 

We installed a TV antenna which cost $290 to supply the antenna as well. 

So far so good, long process to get everything done, still unpacking currently. 
We have had drive way done and yard excavated waiting for bobcat and turf. 
We also finished our deck in the alfresco and have our clothesline up.
