Oh wow looking good. Really starts to feel like proper rooms when the plaster goes on. Loving that window in the theatre too.
You definitely look like you're pretty close to lock up but xmas break is coming up fast! Fingers crossed for you!

I was really surprised how light everything seemed, not what I was expecting at all, looks so different!

Where abouts in the vines are you building? 02 Jun 2014 106 WA Senior Member Re: Aveling Build NOR - White Set 86Jan 08, 2015 7:58 pm Hi We're building in The Reserve It's ok. Still waiting for lock up but hopefully it should be this week. I've just been busy sorting out things for after handover like wardrobe fit out, landscaping etc. Re: Aveling Build NOR - White Set 87Jan 08, 2015 9:14 pm That's great news lockup is soon for you. Yep a lot of trades to organise after handover. It would be great to be able to get some things done before though but I guess that's not possible for you. Good luck with the rest of the build  02 Jun 2014 106 WA Senior Member Re: Aveling Build NOR - White Set 88Jan 10, 2015 6:18 pm Still no lock up. I'm feeling very fed up today. It's been 6 months since slab and we're still not locked up. Burnsfirsttime, also Aveling, had their slab poured only the week before ours and they now have keys. Just goes to show it doesn't matter which company you are with, it's the luck of the draw with supervisors and trades. Re: Aveling Build NOR - White Set 89Jan 10, 2015 11:19 pm Bloomin heck....I feel for you. I hope Aveling get their act together and give you lock up soon. I've lost my excitement for our build. I was so excited in the beginning and now just can't wait till we move in. I'm hoping that now the xmas/new year holidays are behind us the trades get cracking. Have you been given any completion date yet? I'll keep my fingers crossed for you for lock up next week......chin up you'll get there! 02 Jun 2014 106 WA Senior Member Re: Aveling Build NOR - White Set 90Jan 10, 2015 11:34 pm No, I haven't been given any completion dates They did manage to do some external rendering this week though Re: Aveling Build NOR - White Set 91Jan 10, 2015 11:40 pm We're a bit behind you (ceilings due next wk) and have been told completion by March/April. Not sure about that now I see how much we need to do. Great about your outside render done. It's one step closer! 02 Jun 2014 106 WA Senior Member Re: Aveling Build NOR - White Set 92Jan 10, 2015 11:45 pm That's good to know, thanks I'll push for a completion date next week Re: Aveling Build NOR - White Set 93Jan 11, 2015 9:09 pm It really sucks. I hope now that the break is over they start putting a move on!!

Most of the glazing is done and we have a front door so lock up can't be far away. How are you getting on tmwoburn? Re: Aveling Build NOR - White Set 96Jan 19, 2015 11:00 pm Yep you can't be far away from lockup now with a front door. Very excited for you. Should be any day now I would think. We've finished grey float and been told dates for next stages.....but I'll be really cynical now and say I'll believe it when I see it. haha. Have you been given any timeframe for completion yet? 02 Jun 2014 106 WA Senior Member Re: Aveling Build NOR - White Set 97Jan 19, 2015 11:03 pm Last week we were told approximately 10 weeks to handover. Got an email today saying cabinets are going in today and then the tiler will start. I hope things keep moving now and there are no more delays. We met with the landscape designer last week and now I'm really looking forward to seeing the design. Does Woburn Park come with a front landscape package? 02 Jun 2014 106 WA Senior Member Re: Aveling Build NOR - White Set 99Jan 19, 2015 11:24 pm Before xmas I called LWP to enquire about fencing and landscaping, they said Instant Gardens are doing free designs for the LWP landscaping so I called them a couple of weeks ago. We are getting them to quote for installation too, but you don't have to use them if you don't want to. Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense.
