Junction Triangle

The WFC7500VW is the model number...the serial number is on a little tag taped on the machine; open the door and you should see a few stickers on the door "frame". Call Whirlpool and give them the serial number of the unit and your address. They may ask for the name of the developer; try Lorbeth Developments...that's on the account for Whirlpool for some of our appliances...

my date has been changed from August 31st to Oct 15, I got two weeks notice for the change, I had to phone the office and ask to confirm my move in date only then I was told of the delay. That is just inconsiderate...I am really not sure that they will be finished by Oct. 15, I see other people here have their closing on Oct. 30, besides the people that moved in end of july or august 1st, has anyone else moved in since then?

For people who don't know what areas to check or what may even be cause for concern, I'd say getting a building inspector would do a great deal of service. One hour may not be a long time but if you don't know what to look for then you've already wasted 60 minutes checking to see if the walls are even--much bigger issues to be wary of. Do some research either way and get in the know before you start performing your own PDI as the PDI guy will not advise you even if/when he sees something and based on past posts, may even hide them.

Just an FYI - phase 1 and 2 had BBQ gas lines installed by the builder for the upper level units only. I beleive this applied to Phase 3. Is this not the case for phase 4 Upper units?

I can't remember, is there already a shut off valve? If so, I don't think you'll need a gas fitter to make the connection. I connected mine at home myself; however, if there isn't a shut off valve then you may want to contact Enbridge for a gas hookup as you'll need a licensed Gas Fitter.

I agree, i have been in davenport village since phase one and love it. As well I recommended to other friends to purchase here which they both have in phase 4.

As well I have another friend that sold their phase 1 unit about 2 years ago to buy a house in the burbs as well. Guess what, they just sold there house too and moved back to Davenport Village.

New construction can be a pain, but that's every new construction. No one should expect a perfect house on day one, there will always be something that needs to be fixed. I'm sure you would have the same frustration if you bought a resale home and decided to renovate the house. It's not easy living through a renovation either. I've been through that as well.

This area is great.

Even with the issues we have in our phase 3 unit (HVAC being loud, improper building of the outside stairs/water proofing, etc.) I still love the area and wouldn't move if I didn't have to for work. I've had no "major" issues other than perhaps the HVAC issue, so don't regret buying here. I've never had a problem with Falus directly, though getting hold of the contractors can be a pain the a#$.

The documentation we provided to the builder from our home inspector was reviewed by the builder and it was used to resolve deficiencies. But it doesn't replace the Tarion warranty forms... If you get a home inspector, anything they find you will still need to put it on the warranty forms.

Thanks Rob but that doesn't speak to why no one's bathrooms (sinks, bathtubs, showers) are not caulked. Black mold is a health hazard and with no caulking, you are only preparing a breeding ground for it. By the time you're gone, it will be festering and we will have to wonder why we and our children and pets have respiratory problems. I also spoke to Canada Post this afternoon quite coincidentally from two different locations, escalated calls and no one could understand where the hours, nor the postal codes were provided. Perhaps you could provide the name of the Sr. Supervisor you spoke with so we can come to know what our exact postal codes are because no one could find it in their databases and I've been provided THREE from your office now for my own unit. Perhaps you can expedite the installation of our mailboxes.

As I understand our property values are at stake here but vocalizing the poor quality of work in this Brownstones populated audience doesn't devalue our properties as much as the poor work and craftsmanship itself, lack of addressing issues/deficiencies, attempting to hide, cover up and dismiss our concerns and deficiencies and leaving outstanding issues IS in fact the reason why our property values will depreciate in value, not pointing it out to those with an invested interest. Its not being publicized in newspapers and magazines so I think we're still in a good position to improve our property values.

You provide your name and contact number and now evident that you have been viewing our posts; HOWEVER when we attempt to contact you directly or your office, you provide the utmost worst customer service, using patronizing and demeaning conversation, actually yelling at us?? which results in little resolution or absolute refusal to address some or all of our issues. I'm glad you review our posts because I think everyone should also enlighten the readers about what its like to get things done and the time in gets things completed if any. I've heard horror stories from early units that have only finally gotten completed items in their units this past September--two full months with major things missing from their incomplete homes, but still face many of their deficiencies unaddressed. Not insignificant like broken trim but broken or missing appliances, incomplete bathrooms, substandard/cheap substitutes on top of the significant delays associated with addressing these items.

If you truly want to be a proactive Developer, then provide us with decent work, proper customer service, ample notice of delays or when your contractors are coming on site to repair items, a clean construction site suitable for habitation for adult, children and pets, secure our underground/vehicles by locking the doors and giving your contractors keys, provide us with dates and if you extend passed them, then let us know with new dates, don't rush units if they're not complete and then force people to move in so you can charge us rent, and if you are asking for people to approach you with their issues, then provide us with a plan, date and solution. You've read these posts. There's a lot of substantial complaints here that has been brought to your attention and it has gone no where but is fully warrantable by Tarion. Like the hot water tank issue that Tony, Site Supervisor vehemently argued was installed properly but after the Service Technician for the tanks reviewed them in detail, advised you they were installed incorrectly and was left to correct, each and every unit's hot water tank despite his arguments. This is a testament to how things get resolved--until you are told you need to address a situation by someone other than the Homeowner, you will actually do it in a timely fashion. For the things you are able to, despite it being a health or safety issue, you will take your time no matter how large or small or how it adversely affects the Homeowners. So people are left to pay to have their laundry done offsite, pay for monthly storage when storage was already purchased here in an underground where we are already given access to parking, inconvenienced by 7am knocks every one of our doors to find out who parked in the wrong spot, your PDI Contractor hiding broken tiles and cracked granite with his boots and paperwork and refusing to put things on people's PDI's and the list goes on and on and on...

If you wonder why everyone's so frustrated, THAT is why. You attempt to come across so understanding and forthcoming but when it is brought to your attention, we don't have them addressed. So at the end of the day, how exactly do you expect anyone to be happy with their rushed/incomplete/deficiency ridden units? If they're not ready, then don't have people move in period its as simple as that. Some people may dismiss their deficiencies but that's partially because they either correct it themselves knowing that you wont do it or in a timely fashion or will have someone do it for free like a friend or relative or pay someone to do it for them--we shouldn't have to pick up YOUR slack and it shouldn't have to come out of our pockets. If you truly want this to work, then please, PLEASE, work with the units to get these things addressed and quit giving everyone a hard time when we contact your office to discuss them.

I assure you, the mood and tone of this blog would surely take a significant turn if you truly did your part. Complaints would diminish and you would get accredited with accolades and support. As you can clearly see, we haven't gotten there yet so fulfill your obligation and make this the community that everyone bought into and give us what we've paid for. Hopefully people will begin to contact you more often with their issues now that you've given them your coordinates. We're going to meet you half way and contact you. Let's work together to make things happen by meeting us halfway and getting things done and done properly. We're ready to put our best foot forward. Hopefully your post with a proactive approach is your best foot forward.
