Final inspection...Part 1

We just had final inspection this morning and there were a few bits still missing that hadn't been completed due to problems with their subcontracted tradies etc but another step closer hopefully. Supposedly the inspector for the occupancy certificate did his bit last week so we should hear something by the end of this week about it. We will meet again at the end of the week (or so we plan to) to see if those last bits were completed.

Presumably we will be given an interim occupancy certificate which should be enough to finalise payments and do the whole handover shebang.

Hank is looking awesome though Nora could do with a bit of a clean up, cannot wait to start decorating and landscaping!

oh the house next door which was sold about two months ago appears to be finally occupied, we saw the new owner mowing the lawns yesterday.

and then...

so 10 days ago the drainage for the rainwater was completed... also the security system was put in as well as the phone and tv ports and our doorbell. Last week I emailed the construction coordinator on Monday to see what was happening for the week since the drainage was done. Heard nothing until Friday when she said the site supervisor was away and would tell me this week what was happening.

So i will see today if I can get more information about when final inspection will happen. The last time we checked, the paintwork still hadn't been fixed up yet inside the house from our first inspection visit. It has been 5 weeks since first inspection when we were given the expectation that final inspection would happen two weeks after first inspection.

I wouldn't mind so much if our expectations weren't being set by the builder themselves!
