You want to look to ensure everything you ordered at the sales office and the design centre are present. Check for any defects or things that you think should be there but aren't (finish on walls, fit/finish of flooring, cabinetry, gas/water lines, open/close all doors, all faucets hot and cold, gas fireplace operation, range fan operation, outdoor water tap function). Check the locations of things (range fan vent locations, alarm keypad and video monitor locations, light switches, power outlets, TV conduit setup (if applicable)).

Make sure the cold room light has a cage around the bulb (it is code).

Did you end up with a landing in your garage or 2 steps?

Sandeep -

What are the pros/cons of having steps vs. landing in garage?

I prefer steps because it takes up less space in the garage. Unfortunately, if you have more than 2 steps between garage entry to home and the floor of garage, you need a landing/railing. Will need to brainstorm some alternate ideas once I move in since the builder needs to respect building code to close the home.

I'm interested in an AC group by as well. We'd probably get a better deal in the off-season, end of October possibly?

Just finished our PDI.

Mattamy has done a great job again, first house was also Mattamy and lived there 5 years without any issues, everything was done according to our specifications a few minor things nothing major. Only our countertops are delayed so we could'nt see them :(

But the rest of it looks gorgeous:) looking forward to moving in and meeting all the great neibours!!!

It's not so bad. They should be pouring the curbs soon, after which they'll use the soil pretty quickly to grade everyone's lots. Grass and driveways will follow. My assistant builder indicated we'll have driveways and lawns done sometime in October--they're just waiting on curbs, which can't go in til brickwork is done on the homes on this side of the street.

Wekve had quotes from 2-3 suppliers. Should be deciding over the weekend. Are you thinking wood or vinyl?
