He basically looked at everything then scheduled the subcontractors to fix the stuff. Maybe you could try putting in a service request via the website?*colette*https://www.blogger.com/profile/00659371563003198041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256584705522516859.post-51896360597146903352013-10-10T08:03:08.838-04:002013-10-10T08:03:08.838-04:00Colette, did you have a "meeting" with y...Colette, did you have a "meeting" with your 10 month guy? I cannot get a hold of this guy to save my life, he doesnt answer emails and his voicemail is full, ...it seems to be her personal phone also...LOLdwtimes2https://www.blogger.com/profile/03857644857162128353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256584705522516859.post-51672903997739879092013-09-25T09:18:23.851-04:002013-09-25T09:18:23.851-04:00Ugh, at least we are all in this together!

That's so funny about the counters. I can totally picture that... acting like they are doing you a favor by getting them there when they were supposed to be in the first place! Your house is beautiful by the way!*colette*https://www.blogger.com/profile/00659371563003198041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256584705522516859.post-57277133342830194122013-09-24T16:29:19.444-04:002013-09-24T16:29:19.444-04:00This is the same story in our neighborhood, everyo...This is the same story in our neighborhood, everyone complains about the 10 month and 2 years later are STILL fighting to get things done.<br /><br />Is the purely RH? NOPE! I agree it's prob with any business today once they get your money.<br /><br />We also "trusted" they must know what they are doing during the build process, I no longer believe that and you are your own best PM.<br /><br />We just got our 10 month letter to submit our list. I can done so, but now cannot get an answer if they received this list at all.......but in the letter they wanted the list within 10 days, but funny how that never applies to RH.<br /><br />Lot Grading is a huge problem in our community and a HUGE fight and you have to be in it to win it for months of fighting! None of us get it!dwtimes2https://www.blogger.com/profile/03857644857162128353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256584705522516859.post-65560805669520279412013-09-24T15:49:07.600-04:002013-09-24T15:49:07.600-04:00Great recap!

We asked our PM the same thing about vents that were stretched/pressed around beams in the attic and were informed that "they're only pressing against the insulation, the tube inside is much smaller". We have our walkthrough tomorrow... so I'm going to blast the air conditioning and see how well we can feel the air from each vent.<br /><br />I agree about your comments on how it's frustrating to have to get to a "manager" level to get resolution on issues. We actually were contacted by the Production Manager for our region based on concerns we had raised on our blog about schedule. It wasn't necessarily that we were looking for action, just that we were pointing out of furstration with lack of progress over a week-long period of time.<br /><br />It turns out that because he looked into our build, he found out that our kitchen counters were not going to arrive until after we closed (they had ordered them wrong the first time) so he called the company and "paid and arm and a leg to get them expedited". It made me laugh, because he kept pushing the point at how expensive shipping them was... (more than the cost of the counters in the first place) and I just kept thinking, they shouldn't have waited until the last week to order them in the first place!<br /><br />I'm glad to hear you still look at this as a relatively positive experience. I agree that these issues will not be unique to a Ryan Home or any other "budget" builder. My in-laws built with a custom homebuilder, and they've been in their house under three years and have been having a whole mess of problems related to their foundation (block, not poured) and other settling issues.Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16653489208963491450noreply@blogger.com
