LTS Builders - Monday, August 25, 2008 10:56 AM
I have a question,  for three month now I have been told our new home construction would be completed within the next 2-4 weeks.  I visit the site every weekend and I have noticed that nothing has been done at my home for the last three week,  which troubles me because I have been given a definite date for a final walk through and there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. 

I am looking to talk with any other LTS Home Buyer that can shead some light by sharing their experiences with me.  I see several other houses in my development going up and it's troublesome to see mine just sitting there. .  I don't know if I should go over my project managers head and see what the problem is. 

I guess it's a good thing my son is not school age, because I really don't know what I would have done, Pitched a tent on my own property.  It's just so painful.

with any   construction,  1 week nothing  and then bam   loads,  really  up to the contractors and sub  contractors  showing up.

When is  the date of the final walk through?  What has to be done still?   

Different  people do different   works.  one   clears the land, another foundation,  another frames  another roods,  another electrician, another   cabinets,   another dry wall, another  does painting another does  trim, etc    

Remember probaly  signed the  contract  about  6 - 9 months ago and there are different stages  to it.

No harm in asking the project manager. Do you have a construction loan that has a number of payouts based on amounts of completion and inspection?

I usually ask for a performance clause in all major contracts, to prevent this from happening....

Builders usually have clauses built in though because of sub availability and inspection timing.

I owned an LTS home.   Overall, the quality was OK.  Not great, but OK.   I had 2 issues with them.   Feel free to pm me.
