Gyprock and cornices have now all been completed. Kitchen cupboards and door have been delivered today, doors were starting to be installed today. The staircase is also in... makes the house look so different with actual stairs The kitchen cupboards should all be in by Friday. The benchtop will take about 10 days after... not sure why it takes so long for the bench to arrive. After that will be the tiles. We just accepted and signed the tile quote... paid the 20% deposit so tiles can be ordered, im hoping all the tiles we have selected are in stock or else it will delay us... site manager told us last week that we are ahead of schedule Re: Building Metricon Glendale38 205Jul 01, 2015 7:09 pm Wow!!!! How quick is your build?!! When was your slab poured? Our site start commenced 20 May... and we are STILL at frames....carpenters only got back on site today .....after a week and a half... 2nd day of frames only. I hope it's not due to our SM. Tiles are a pain:( so confused Metricon Glendale 38 - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75696&p=1298363#p1298363 Selections: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75696&start=60 Tiles - p25 Re: Building Metricon Glendale38 206Jul 01, 2015 7:12 pm Main bedroom - french doors Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Main bathroom Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Internal doors Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Staircase Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Kitchen cupboards Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Laundry cupboards Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Gyprock and cornices in sitting room Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Front entrance Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Building Metricon Glendale38 207Jul 01, 2015 7:14 pm If ours doesn't go quicker now, we will be sending in a written complaint. I just revisited your poses.... its bizarre, they took a break after slab too for us. Not in line with our builds.

We shouldnt experience any further delays cos everything that needs to be completed now are the internals except if our tiles are not in stock.

Our quote for tiling was for the whole main floor so if they dont do the tiling underneath the kitchen cupboards that means we still need to pay for it cos the area is calculated into the quote.
