They have put dry wall and installed tiles in the kitchen and bathroom so far.
Not yet for hardwood and finishing other things..

I am worry if the builder will force to close the house with unfinished House and just like Mattamy Builder projects in Hamilton and Markham in the news recently..

Yes, your house seems in better shape than others. It's in better shape than mine, i'm closing only 3 days later than you, and you have bricks lol!

I spoke to a girl that was supposed to have her PDI yesterday (closing today), she has no kitchen, no bathroom cabinets, no hardwood....and they installed the wrong tile in her kitchen!!

I thought it was getting better but it doesn't look like it.

Hi blade,

Is there anyway you could follow up with that girl who was supposed to close today? I am very surprised that home owners in this community are still encountering these problems with unfinished homes.

I wouldn't tolerate poorly done work, but unfinished is a few steps way below that even.

I also left a message on here a few weeks ago asking if the people with all of the complaints from phases 1 and 2 had their issues resolved by now, and there hasn't been a post about it. Are we to assume that everything turns out fine in the end?

Hi bwhomebuyer, yes the girl I mentioned in my post above is the girl that is supposed to be closing today. My guess is they will be able to close the house even though it's missing hardwood, cabinets, kitchen, and the wrong tiles in the kitchen. She said the PDI is now Friday (2 days past closing), because by that time they will have most of these items done. I will believe it when I see it.

Thanks for the update Blade!

I have to admit, this is very discouraging. I thought PDI stood for "Pre-Delivery Inspection", not "POST-Delivery Inspection".

I hope that everything gets done properly and on time for this girl. If it's late but at least done properly, then there is some relief there, but if it's late and then followed by months of follow-ups, work orders, etc, then that will be a huge pain in the ass.

I find it hard to believe with all of the technology that exists today in the palm of our hands how large businesses, such as home builders, still don't know how to use a calendar and organize time management properly. I get annoyed when my Amazon delivery is late by a day when I ordered it 2 days ago. Most of us bought these homes 2 years ago. That's over 700 days of planning and preparation!

You're right, it's unbelievable how some builders are able to make people close simply because they "met the minimum requirements for occupancy"

Yep, until the building code changes, i'm sure the builders will just do whatever is to their best convenience. Their reputation doesn't even seem to matter to them anymore.

Basically once they pass occupancy and close the house, they get their money, and then have another 120 days to finish everything.

I noticed they now have all the tile done in my house. Hopefully they get going on the bricks now lol!

The contractor can do quick for the bricks and they can finish it within 2 or 3 days for one house.

Are they doing tiles before the bricks?? That's strange... usually all work inside starts after house is bricked.
It's so much rain this summer..houses which still have no shingles and not bricked yet are all wet inside. I hope they will finish all work outside and will let house dry before starting inside work.
