I'm hoping I don't have many months wait on my frame. My build basically just kicked off with site cut but will officially start on Feb 17 once my retaining wall is done. They did warm there may possibly by delay on framing and can't give building completion estimate until closer to frame stage. I ...

My slab went down in September/October, frames arrived 4-5 weeks after the slab. Thanks for the input. That seems like a reasonable time frame. I have contemplated escalating to their director , which may or may not be a good idea.

Hi, Thanks for the advice. I have been made a villain just for following up closer to their now 4 times revised time-frames. I am aware of the liquidation clause , and will be claiming it.

Waited 12 weeks for mine. Thanks for the response. 12 weeks is painful. But we are not far off from 12 weeks, I hope we get it by then.

We singed the contract in December 2020 and the land settled in mid April 2021. The permits were delayed due to the builder taking their time in submitting ...
