At this point our SS well and truly has his pants on fire. We were told when this new guy first took over that our driveway would be poured last Thursday at the latest. Granted we had a few days of rain two weeks ago. Last week was blue skies and sunny weather. When it got to the weekend and still no sign of our driveway my husband called the SS to find out what was happening. He told us that the driveway was booked in for Tuesday, if we would like a path we should meet the concretors on site. We contemplated wether or not we could afford to take the time off work to meet with them and decided not to. Lucky because we had showers throughout the day and there was no sign the concretors had been out there at all. We understand rain delays. Not a problem. However, when we have had a full week of beautiful weather and not a single thing has been touched on the site it gets rather irritating. But our biggest issue is that we believe there is no intention to have concretors out there at all this week. This is mainly due to the fact that we have a full construction bin where the driveway is going. Either the SS is an idiot, has never been to look at the house or he is just plain lying to us and has never booked the concretors.
We have figured out that in the past five weeks the only things that have happened on the house are things that were organised by our past SS before he left. This new SS hasn't organised a single thing for our house. Coral have just completely forgotten about our house. It seems now we have paid them a majority of the money they couldn't care les when they actually finish it. We were hopeful to be in by the end of June. Now the end of August is looking like more of a reality. Although for that to happen something would actually need to be done at all. In the past 5 weeks we have had 4 days worth of work completed on the house. That is being generous. So 5 working days a week (although most tradies work Saturdays) that is a 16% work rate. I don't know what kind of lack of management is going on here because if I just forgot about a project of mine for this long I would be sacked.
At this point I just want Coral to walk away and we can have the house finished in much less time than this guy. We are supposed to being having PCI tomorrow afternoon. We have both taken time off work for it. At this point the house is no where near finished. If we take this time off to see an incomplete house our next PCI will need to be on a weekend. At this point when anyone asks me about the house I am fighting back tears. Not giving Coral a great reputation around here. Both my husband and I are getting sick from the stress. If I wasn't in EOFY I would be taking time off work because I just can't function anymore. The stress is killing me. I am trying not to cry all the time. It is just so heart breaking to be so excited that you are so close to finished and then have your house come to a complete stop. I'm gutted and can't believe that a company can think this is acceptable. We are at the point of trying to figure out what our next step is. Every time we contact the SS we just get another set of lies. We have tried contacting the construction manager in the area. He called us back 4 working days later and just left a message saying "yes your site supervisor has left this is your new one. He said you rang him." Doesn't give me a whole lot of confidence that we are going to get anywhere with him either. If we haven't heard back from either of them today I am going to try calling the head office and see who I can contact above these two.
