Re: Building in Cranbourne (Simonds Homes) Week 15

Page 6 of 9
Haha! It defiantly has made our work load a lot less!


We now have been wrapped, wiring is in. All windows are in, all doors except our front door and 2 large sliding doors. Roof tiling almost complete
And our bricks have been delivered!!

It's all still moving fast; looks like we are ahead of schedule at this stage but it will all depend on the weather of the next few weeks

How long do the bricks normally take??


Depends on your bricky. Could be 2 days (literally, the simonds build across from us only took two days) or coud be 2 weeks like ours 😉(not complaining he is doing a great job & internal work has continued as he bricks)
Its great seeing the colours come together hey ☺

Oh wow that fast! I'm more then happy for them to take 2 weeks.

Happy with just a good job


When you say internal work do you mean like plaster ect?

Our mysimonds says this stage ( bricks, wrap, tiles, gutters) will take until the 24th of October at the moment!! Think we are defiantly going to be ahead of time.

It gets more exciting each stage


Yep all of our plumbing, heating, cooling, electrical wiring, gas lines, solar, insulatuon and plaster have been put in while the bricks are being laid. They dont muck around.

Oh far out! It's crazy how fast they can get it all sorted really isn't it


Hi guys & girls

We have our first inspection this week for the slab,frame, tiles.. Any recommendations of what to look for??

We had a ** peak already and noticed our ceramic disk taps have been put in as mixers & our alfresco door is damaged. We also need to add our noggings.

Anything major things we should look out for


This past week our electrics have gone in and out bath cavity
We have another inspection on Thursday to measure the room sizes as we believe at least one is the wrong size.

Last weeks photos:



Aircon and heating ready to go



Bathroom



Starting to get doors



Last little bit of brick to go

Plasterers due Thursday.


Wowee how fast was that!! Its looking great
hopefully its a bit of an optical illusion with the room sizes
we felt the same at times, everything seems to grow and shrink and grow again. Keep us posted!!

It's moving so quickly now

Unfortunately I wish it was an optical illusion the rooms actually look bigger then we thought but the tape measure says otherwise
they have messed up the sizes; made some smaller and other rooms bigger

Will find out exactly on Thursday.


Oh dear.. Wishing you luck!

Thank you ❤️


It's looking great, hope the rooms are settled without too much fuss.

Thank you. Looking forward to sorting it all out Thursday


Problems solved


The problem wall was being taken down today and moved to where it should be.

Plasterers were there right on 7.30 and had half the house done by 9.15 should be all sorted today

Then replacement door arriving Monday and damaged door being fixed Wednesday.. Then lock up is complete

A few issues with incorrect taps but should be almost sorted now

Photos from today





Happy to hear! Onward and upward




Feel like we are still moving fast even though we are internal now




Coming along nicely Perry!
Went for a visit yesterday but we r completely locked out now.

Was hoping they would forget to lock a door.

From what we could see the plaster out the front is in, cornices in and painting done.




Loving the size of the garage so glad we extended




We now have solar cctv watching our house at all times we can no longer go for a peak without someone knowing

Thankfully we have an offical inspection on Monday

I think the painting is complete and cabinets have started

These are the long distance shots we managed to get
