They still do the bikes for GPN...
Are they still orange?
yup diff shades of orange. before they had male/female choices. now just one unisex. still going plenty.
honestly we didn't get jack squat but a thank you card or an apology card (when there was a delay). probably because we ended up negotiating sizable incentives, and a sizable rebate when there was a delay.
funny enough we did got free upgrades which is quite rare. for one home, we got free wrap-around rain gutters so that's worth some pretty penny. during framing walk through they accidentally had an extra can light in one of the bathroom that the super thought we'll get to keep (but they ended up removing it anyways).
for the other new development, we got a free downstairs engineer wood flooring which is also worth a pretty penny.
essentially both items were in the change order during phase 2 (or 3) but we later had them removed as we figured we'll do after close. they screwed up somewhere along the line and the subcontractors had them done anyways. I had to double check both times if it ended up being in the final change order but nope.. free rain gutters and flooring.
oh wait another free item. this one was due to a miscommunication. they had told me it was too late to remove an optional upper cabinet but I had argued that I sent multiple emails in time and had asked for it to be removed. after some back and forth they ate the cost as it was too late to remove from the order and was sent to the subcontractor already.
doubt we'll get that lucky again with these various freebies. the cabinets I understand - the rain gutter and engineer wood flooring - not so much.
