Weeks ago (9/21 the day trusses were delivered to be exact), I contacted the project manager asking about the truss placement. They didn't like correct to me. He assured me that was not the final placement, and they were only braced in this position for now. A couple days later I mentioned it to the framing crew just to see what they thought. They also assured me it was fine. ooookkkkkkkkkk
Fast forward a few weeks and very little work done (still no roof!), on a job that started 8/21 and should have take 2-3 weeks and we had a visit from the project manager (and the new project manager who is taking over). "Oh, yep, those are in the wrong place".
What!? I should also mention when the frames went MIA for 10 days I ended up reaching out to the construction manager to get answers. Since I had his contact info I also sent him the photos and asked what he thought. His answer Monday the 12th was "I'm looking into it" . . meanwhile the framers are attaching subfloor and walls to these trusses that are wrong.
So then the project manager says he will be filling out a TSV report basically warning the framer that he has 7 days to correct it. We asked what happens if he keeps dragging it out, do they find another framer. His answer "Yes, however then we have to find a framer who is willing to do the fix and the remainder of the job for whatever funds are left after we paid the original framer for his time. If we chargeback the original framer to pay for the new framer he will likely put a LEIN on your home".
You have GOT to be kidding. I'm so stressed I can hardly breath, let alone sleep, eat and all the other things I need to keep up on.
Lesson? Don't build with a spec home builder, pay more and go with someone smaller that you trust.
Here are some recent photos including a hail storm, but other than that nothing much new.
