Our final inspection (number 2) was completed today.

It only happened because on Sunday, Lu and I wrote a rather curt response back to the office, formally not accepting their final invoice as we have not yet received a Certificate of Occupancy and therefore they are not permitted to demand payment until we receive notice of that.

Our email to the Operations Manager also highlighted the fact that there was a serious lack of communication between the office staff and the client. A deeply concerning matter considering the type of issues that we have experienced and not been able to get any answers to is a very frustrating experience.

We were told that this email has gone right around the office and finally landed in Scott's inbox. Kudos to Scott, he called us straight away to explain.

Unfortunately, boo to the office, AND the Operations Manager who we have still yet to hear from... no apology, nothing.

So off we head on this busy Friday, wedding day on the horizon... to the Mews. We went through the building inspection report in detail today with our wonderful building inspector, Phil.

Overall, both Lu and I, as well as Phil, were quite satisfied with the result of the actions taken to fix the problems outlined in the report. Although not all were complete, the main items that needed to be addressed had been appropriately addressed and rectified and more importantly, had been done right.

Finally.

So Scott the Site Supervisor, who I really have no beef with, was quite honest with us (or as honest as we believe him to be... afterall, he still works for the enemy), it would appear that other than a possible leaky roof, there are no major items to look into.

We're finally happy. To an extent.

So Scott tells us that all the required paperwork has been sent back to the office and we should be receiving the Certificate of Occupancy very soon.

*tentative yays!*

Let's see how long the office takes to do this for us....
