Our block was pegged and fenced before the christmas break and we were told today that we are now in construction and they have 20 days to commence. Do they generally wait until the 19th day to commence or do they get straight into it? Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 3095Jan 15, 2015 12:29 pm Welcome Muzza, this forum truly is helpful with all of the information you will find. I haven't come across any one on here building a duplex yet! Welcome elizabethHills, it all really depends. Some people are lucky to have constrution start straight away, others are not we didnt get a fence or portaloo until the very very last days of the 20 day countdown, and then we had our site cut and fill a few days after the 20 days. We had our slab poured just before christmas break and frames are due to be delivered on Monday! Concerto Elite Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 3096Jan 15, 2015 2:46 pm Well, just had a call from our SS to say that he was on our block, and someone has ripped off panels from the back fence and stolen tools off the site over christmas - really odd stuff like specialised brickie tools for scraping mortar etc. I think he thought we would be upset about having to fix the fence, but we are going to replace it when building is finished, so he's just going to put temp fencing across it in the meantime. Seriously, there was literally nothing to steal on site over Christmas...at least it wasn't just vandalism I guess.. On a bright note, brickwork is now the full two storeys high now which is super exciting! Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 3097Jan 15, 2015 5:27 pm Good luck Gibson hope its better this time around! Welcome Muzza and Elizabethhills2013. Can't believe they stole from your site R2D2. At least there was no vandalism inside that would mean your build was delayed. So M are back...can't wait to see all the building fun again! Appointments start for us tomorrow! Any last minute tips? Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 3098Jan 15, 2015 6:14 pm Mgardz my only tip (from my 75 yr old neighbour) is ... If you really want it, get it. Don't worry about the budget. Whilst an extra $500 here or there seems alot at the moment ... It is the one time in our lives we get to choose this stuff. Don't compromise on the big things (that will be hard to change later on). Not sure if that helps .... 2013 1st tender 24/10 Dep. 18/11 2014 5% 25/02 CDC approval 5/5 Demo 26/5 Pool 3/7 Valid'n 10/7 Slab 11/8 Frame 19/9 Bricks 23/10 2015 Roof 3/12 Lock up 11/2 PCI 31/3 Final insp. & keys 30/4 Re: Masterton Homes - The next thread 4.0 3099Jan 15, 2015 6:27 pm welcome ElizabethHills2013 and Muzza02, MGardz- enjoy your appointment tommorow you are very organised.
