RH should hire more competent and caring PMs since most workmanship and quality complains/issues can easily prevented by an educated and caring PM.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07932438626039135368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350486159608688315.post-33724567513724568072013-01-23T18:52:01.825-08:002013-01-23T18:52:01.825-08:00Way to go!

Don't wait until the final closing inspection, problems won't be visible to the naked eye. The inspector needs to see things as they go along. If you picked up problems (by you not being in the construction business) they had to be major. Just think of the small issues they covered that could potentially lead to big ones! Get an inspector now! We have 5 separate inspections with our guy. He breaks it down like this: 1st inspection-Foundation, Framing, WRB, Ventilation and Roof 2nd-Insulation and Rough-In Mechanical Systems, 3rd-Windows/Doors, Wall and Ceiling Drywall, Floors, Fixture/Cabinet Layout and Garage and last inspection is the Comprehensive Progress House Final Inspection. We also are having a Radon Test done although the results for that won't be until after we close. This is all for peace of mind and I seriously believe you need it! Good Luck and hope all goes well with your build!<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14507930294092484765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350486159608688315.post-68519597492747875942013-01-19T04:00:28.077-08:002013-01-19T04:00:28.077-08:00TechMama, please just don't stand by and let t...TechMama, please just don't stand by and let them do whatever. Make them fix it. It's their job to do so. You are supplying them with a job and that alone should cause them to do their very best, let alone the money you are spending to purchase the home. We will be having our pre-drywall meeting next Wednesday and we have already brought a couple of things to our PMs attention...did I mention we're also building a Palermo. Our concerns has been remedied; however, there are a couple of things I plan to address to our PM when we meet with him. Anything, big or small, should be addressed because you want to enjoy your home once it's done, not worry about all the things that they didn't do but should've done.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09518000083180810378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350486159608688315.post-83862896520209558732013-01-18T11:22:32.190-08:002013-01-18T11:22:32.190-08:00I would get an inspector before the final walkthro...I would get an inspector before the final walkthrough.

FOLLOW YOUR HEART!!! Take the risk to ask for what you want and by all means DO NOT SETTLE FOR MEDICORITY!!! I feel upset for your for the lame excuses they are giving you for the lack of skills they are reflecting. I am happy to hear that you will be getting an inspector because I am not sure if your house is being built to code or just pasted together. <br /><br />RickandNadasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440625366611097007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350486159608688315.post-74563554012448159102013-01-17T19:38:05.885-08:002013-01-17T19:38:05.885-08:00With those kinds of issues, definitely get an insp...With those kinds of issues, definitely get an inspector and if I were you I'd do it soon... the sooner the better. You may even have to go above your PMs head if he's just brushing you off and giving you the excuse that this is the first Palermo they've built.
