We got a big family and we consider this house for next 20 years. We made some changes to our plan like alternative alfresco which means kitchen and alfresco will be at one side and family + dinning at another. Which gives us one big massive open area.

Did you selected any upgrade?
yes. we added a shower to the ground floor powder room and sink to the butler kitchen.Also we converted study room to a guest room with robs.We also have balcony because we have a good view in front of our home.Wetland.
That's the main structural changes we had.

In Terms of inclusion we added new mixes,sinks,taps,spa, CCTV prewire ,theater pre wiring etc..That's basic things people normally do I guess.

We have just cleared the land for the builder. Wetland looks good too.

How is your construction going, does it effect with recent lockdown and what time frame henley is saying to handover your house as henley is getting busier.
Good morning Hussain,
They didn’t give me new time frame though. Basically construction has no effect by stage 3 lock down.
But there would be minor delay .
The slab was to be poured last Friday but now It will be done tomorrow. I was asked to let my private inspector
Know about that .Also weather can delay construction too .
How long your home to finish ?
Is your frame stage finished ?

Yes weather can delay things, but next week looks good. My handover date is mid December.

Who is your private inspector. Want to do our fixing and completion stage to be inspect. We have not use them for previous stages as we got good reviews about henley workmanship.
