I went to my site on Friday and saw they had almost done the bricking. I saw it took like 2 weeks to brick up my neighbor's 2 storey house, so you are not far away too brickies will speed up when roof is on? as now look a little bit slow. and yes I believe the lock-up bill is on the way Re: Burbank Custom Double Storey ~ Wrap and Bricks started!! 94Mar 03, 2014 12:41 pm Mentone3850 Week 8 - Ground Floor Brick Work Continues !!

All is looking good! I think its a matter of waiting. Hopeful where in one area it might be slow, an other they might be fast. They generally get a double story built in 6 months so figures crossed!

Supper excited! Hopefully we will have the slab in no time! Wowwwhoo for SLAB:: If its anywhere like my build you should have a slab by end of next week ( 14 march)?? Do you know if you have any concrete piers? if not then it be much quicker Re: Burbank Custom Double Storey ~ Ground Bricks continues!! 98Mar 03, 2014 2:32 pm Okay Guys! SS called about lunch time saying now house is locked up and next stage is plaster. Then i contacted my Inspector to arrange time, guess what! My Inspector says they are already doing plaster! Which means my Inspector does not have a chance to do the pre plaster inspection, now have to jump to the pre handover one. So if your guys want to have pre plaster inspection later, u better watch your builders closely! They are moving very fast! I'm happy with the speed, meanwhile still disappointed with not being able to inspect the house now it is being covered up I didn't see any big issues, except a roof tile cracked, it will leak for sure, have to tell client relation girl about this...

Seems to be full steam ahead for you .. Where as the brickies only resumed today ( apparently one injured their back late last week which explains why no work was done Thu / fri ) My inspector told us if they get frame right you don't really need a lock up stage inspection .. Crack Tile ? Did you climb up there or something ?? Re: Burbank Custom Double Storey ~ Ground Bricks continues!! 100Mar 03, 2014 2:49 pm Hi Mentone, I didn't do frame inspection that's why I'm disappointed no pre plaster inspection happening, but not unhappy, kind of just want an Inspector verify my thinking. Actually u can see the roof tiles standing inside of the house, one day i found tile cracks on slab, when i looked up, I saw the crack above ensuite toilet, light can leak in so will rain... then I walk around quite few times only found this one crack, will ask them to replace it!
