Oops...

So on Saturday (02/02/2013) we went out to see the house.

Frontage as usual. 

We saw the windows were in and the gutters were going up in front of our eyes.  Awesome!

Except...

This isn't the window we asked for!  <panic>  We went over it and over it for the last few months with UEH and though we had been given the credit for not going with the awning window back in October 2011, the final plans sent to us and the bank and agreed on and signed for had the dual awning window... But wait... what's that?!  The colour of the window frame is wrong too!  Oh dear.  All our colours - gutters, drainpipes, rendering, WOODLAND GREY!

So we went through everything... the plans showed the window... why isn't it there... And then...there...we saw it... in the colour document did not have one...but actually TWO colours listed for the window frames... our colour first, and then Merino second... how could that be... we had never looked at, or knew what Merino was...so seeing it on the colour document meant nothing to us...

So after some frantic emails to Urban Edge, we were invited to a meeting with them to discuss these two issues.

After some delicate negotiations, we have agreed to a compromise.  We stay with the Merino window frames, and UEH replace the window at their cost, with us just paying the original price for the window as they are the same size.

On Friday, New Home Inspections  (Rob) went out to look at things and found that 99% of the frame was OK, but found 2 concerning things with the slab:

There was a hole where the re-bar is exposed...

And then there's the concave living area that exceeds the maximum allowed tolerance...

We're waiting for UEH to remedy these and expect a report tomorrow (07/02/2013) from them on these two points and the few other minor issues with the frame.

In the mean time, we're going over our colour document for any other strange looking things that might be interpreted incorrectly... a long-standing candidate identified by us 14 months ago was the kitchen tap... let's hope that isn't an issue...because that involves caesar stone...

Anyway, here are the latest set of photos showing the regular angles.
