Hi Manj,

How did you get DJM, the surveyor's report? Normally the surveyor suggested by builder provide a report to builder. I know we appoint them, but....In my case it is check-point. they were referred by builder. I doubt if they would provide me a report.



If you appoint them then you are within your right to request a report Clean.

Hi Manj,

Good to know that they give a copy to us.
We too have appointed DJM as requested by Carlisle.
I guess as per Building Laws we can appoint any building Surveyors. But all volume builders advise who they want you to appoint and you are forced to go with their preferred Surveyor. That’s why we will end up paying for private inspection too 🤨
Roof tiles on and plumbing has started ..

Looks glorious Manj! I see you have switched to this forum. I'm amazed at how quickly things are moving for you. So happy for you! This is Gayani btw.
We haven't yet moved into pre pour yet. Pre pour was scheduled for the 27th..booked Sam and we all went to see nothing was done. No one was even onsite. Even our SS wasn't aware it wasn't done because he told us it was ready but the guys never showed up to do the work. Sam had to charge us for the inspection anyway..just on screw piles.he will have to again for the pre pour. Three were missing and some were in the wrong position. Hope they rectify it. I haven't yet got any response back from Arden! Slab pour is now scheduled for the 6th. Hope it all goes to plan now.
Wow manj it's flying! You will be in before me

I do post here on and off as well gwij Gayani, Oh no that's terrible. I'd be voicing how unimpressed I'am if that happened to me.

well hope it all goes well from here! Good luck and keep us posted!

clareymoo Really so, didn't they do all the bricks before issuing lock up? and has your insulation gone in?
I assume the bricks will be done when we drive by tomorrow. They were close to being done last weekend. Insulation was in and plaster was delivered last weekend as well so I'm keen to see the progress tomorrow!

Oh that's great! good to know. Looking forward to more pics

I wonder how our lock-up invoice will be issued, they might just brick the first level, lock the doors and issue the lock-up.. Clareymoo
