For those that don't know, PCI is a "Practical Completion Inspection" where you perform a walk-through of the house and point out any issues to be rectified. If you're lucky, it's mostly just few paint and gyprock fix-ups. During the inspection you stick blue tape around the house and the building supervisor records things to be fixed. Our paint and gyprock wasn't too bad, there were a lot of little blue bits of tape around by the end of the appointment but the fixes are mostly minor. Some areas need to be skim coated and repainted again - not a big deal. Paint is easy to fix, but we had a few other bigger items that concern me:
- Scratched alfresco sliding door glass
- Scratched windows in dining room and butler's pantry
- Paint specs/smudges on the kitchen and laundry cabinets
We've been told these items will be looked at but may not be replaced before we move in. If they can't be fixed in the next week and a half then they'll need to be done during the 90 day maintenance window. The glazier will assess the windows next week, apparently it's easy/quick to get replacements. The kitchen cabinets will be a battle.
Our SS was really good today. He has taken everything on board and even found some small issues himself. I've pushed him to get us in the house and now he's pushing the other trades too. In a way, I feel bad for losing my shit with him before Christmas, but if I didn't, we would probably still be waiting another month for the house.
No pics today, but maybe more this weekend. The driveway is being poured tomorrow and showerscreens/mirrors probably being installed as well. Gas to be connected at some unknown point - we may find out on Monday. Besides the fixes, that's it until settlement.
The "big day" is tentatively scheduled for 21st Jan.
