Gareth – 16 Constable Street

New Defects Procedure

Gareth — Sun, 15 Aug 2021 03:19:39 +0000

Some residents have been having unsatisfactory results with defect remediation for their new apartment. We recently had a meeting with the Developer and have come with a plan for actioning this.

In the first instance, stick with the procedure you were given – go directly to the contact you’ve been provided and follow it up straight away. Hopefully the issue will be resolved quickly. If not, inform the Body Corporate Committee (BCC) of your issues and we will maintain a list of unresolved issues throughout the complex. We will periodically take this back the Developer directly, who will follow it up. We will communicate with the Developer for all such escalations on behalf of the complex.

There are a few ways to reach committee members:

Through the resident group chat on Signal (if you’re not a member already, join here)
The contact form on the website (here)
Email direct to committee 16constable com

Many of you already know some of the BCC members personally, so feel free to approach us if you see us around the complex, or send us a text if your have our phone number.

Finally, if you have any outstanding build issues, please get in touch now with your apartment number and the nature of the issue, and once we have an initial list built, we’ll take it to the Developer.

Door Issues – August Update from the Developer

Gareth — Sun, 15 Aug 2021 03:06:59 +0000

Most apartments have had on-going issues with the front door. We have requested an update from the developer. The Body Corporate Committee has received the following response from them:

We have meet with the door supplier during the week. They believe they have a viable solution for the apartments external doors. however they want this solution to be BRANZ certified before this is implemented. Information about BRANZ is available at:

https://www.branz.co.nz/about

The downside of this approach is that the BRANZ certification can take approximately 6 to 8 weeks by the time this is tested and certified.

The upside to the BRANZ certification is that the approach will give the Body Corporate a very strong comfort level that the solution will work.

The proposal is expected to go to BRANZ this coming week.

We will keep you informed as we progress.

Defect List

Gareth — Sat, 06 Feb 2021 01:41:30 +0000

The Committee are putting together a list of defects (both inside the apartments and in the complex as a whole) to present to the builder, who will discuss it with developers and come up with a remediation strategy.

Please update the master spreadsheet with your defects so the developer can take a look. If you can’t update the spreadsheet directly, please send your issue list on to the committee, who will do so on your behalf.

The are a few ways to get your issues to us. In order of preference:

Update the spreadsheet directly: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vLxgA55yE-kTUQUucqgZ4amV_2HlixFDYFia8dSsaU0/edit#gid=0
Send your issues from your phone via the signal chat (https://signal.group/#CjQKIL0rsUBhZQ03xHS9ArMol-Im6II3A2PRj9yDAVoq8llvEhC97__tre9nKm_lqQUuLDdZ)
Create (or reply to) a post on the forum (https://test.16constable.kiwi/?forum=resident-discussion)
Send an email to committee16constablecom

We hope that by getting all issues identified and looked at as a whole, we’ll be able to get them all resolved quicker and more efficiently. It’s important we identify as much as possible now so that everything gets sorted sooner.

Thanks for your assistance – only together can we make this the complex we all want to live in.

Body Corporate Committee

Defect Remediation

Gareth — Fri, 08 Jan 2021 04:28:35 +0000

It’s inevitable that there will be some teething issues with new builds – fortunately these sorts of thing are covered under warranty, and while the developers are on site it’s reasonably easy to get these rectified.

There has been a lot of confusion around the process for this, hopefully this post contains all the details needed to get in touch with the right person and get the issue rectified ASAP. It will be updated over time by the committee as we get more details.

We’ve been asked not to contact the construction company (CGW Limited) directly any more – any issues inside your property should be raised directly with the sub contractor responsible, or with the developer via their solicitor. Any external issues should be raised with the Body Corporate Committee, who will in turn raise it with the developer directly.
