congratulations....wow, site scrap
i'll be able to watch your progress from my site visits across the fence...in the distance!! LOL

Fantastic a site scrape. Tis very exciting. Things will just keep moving now. We already have our frame up and garage bricked. Roof coming shortly. Windows would be in but there is a week delay.

Awesome!! It seems to be moving pretty quickly now for us and for you alkalised! We have a meter box and temporary fencing now!

Very excited for you both , Cant wait to see more pics...

We now have the plumbing done, the black plastic and wood around the edges for the slab and they are laying out the foam stuff tomorrow, with the slab expected on Friday!

Thanks for the update, great progress!

Slaberiffic!!

Looking good

Does anyone know how long it is before they can start putting up the frame?

In our case a few weeks, slab poured on 28th June, frame started 15th July.

slab is looking good.

in regards to when they can start framing, it depends if a curing agent was applied to the concrete surface. if so, then they can start the next day (like ours) or wait for approx. 3days. also depends, if the builder has a framer ready to start.

We are so frustrated AGAIN..... Slab has just been sitting there and the house two doors down that had it's slab done after ours, already has it's frame and gutters on. Rawdon Hill told us the frame was starting this week... There was only one rainy day.

We understand your frustration, but it's good that slab has been allowed to sit for the 2 weeks, pretty much same time frame that ours did. Hang in there, it's about to power along I'm sure. Have you checked out our progress?, we are almost at lock up and it's been about 8 weeks. We are both building at a good time, there's a bit of a lull at the moment so our houses will go up faster than usual.

) Thanks alkalised.. You are more patient than us! I think my husband is making me get impatient!

Wood delivered today and cutting up started. Also noticed they have drawn black lines all over the slab where the rooms go.. Everything looks so small!

Ive been told countless times by so many builders the longer the slabs sits before weight is on it the better. Id be wanting it to sit there as long as it can!

Fantastic that's great news! Sense of space is deceiving at this stage but wait till frame is up it is so exciting walking thru the frame.

Wall frames are 90% up ) Does look bigger now!

good to hear that your frame work is up...and almost all done...i'm so excited for you (need to see a pic or 2!!)
what type of roof are you getting..tiles or colorbond?

Jasper Colorbond! Looing forward to seeing it. Apparently the roof trusses are going up tomorrow and the roof should be on early next week. We love tradies who work in the rain!

How are you going 1615br? Your house looks great from the front!

That is fantastic! So glad they worked in the rain, I was worried the rain would delay your frame but it hasn't. Our plaster has been delivered but waiting on some missing insulation before it goes in I think.
