PCI day.... finally

Finally, we are in PCI session... 5.5 months into the build. The finishing line is almost there.

This is the time for the SS to present the house to us formally, not that we haven't seen any of it. To start off, our SS want to discuss our inspector's report first, go through the list of issues and put an action point against it. Our SS has been very genuine with us and reassured us that although thte list of issues may seem challenging, it is not dauting to him and he believes they can be resolved within a week in time for handover by next Friday.

After the inspector's list, we also raised our own long PCI checklist of issues to be fixed, we have been grateful that our SS acknowledged the issues and added them to the growing list to be fixed. We chose not to publish or rant the issues on the internet forum as we wanted to give the SS time to get it fixed. And we do have reason to believe to trust in him.

Here are some of the issues that has been mentioned to the SS to be fixed:

Water pipe coming into the house
Alfresco concrete drain

Patched up mortar and colour not matched

Slab not enough to support the brickwork


Tip: To all those who will be doing PCI, if you have a chance, do your PCI checklist prior to PCI time as you will not have enough time to go through the house in detail, to pick up little issues. We did our checklist on the day of my inspector's visit, had the house to ourselves that day.
