RameshN yes, it's dragged on for so long. I'm just itching to build... The notice is that they are not starting any new builds for the rest of the year due to covid delays and delays on material shortages. They said it will be a Q1 2022 start, here's hoping as I'm starting to get frustrated, but understand the pressure the industry is in.

Not 100% sure of the height and length of it now as I didn't have my tape measure.

I spoke to the site supervisor who advised most have been fixed now and rest to be fixed on the day of the pour. Also, because I have engaged an independent inspector, my builder has a clause in the contract that the build time is extended by 2 weeks for every stage I hire an independent inspector. So I will be have an 8 week extension notice added to my build. It sucks, but I'd rather have the inspections done and better house over moving in sooner. Re: My building progress 13Apr 04, 2022 4:15 pm 28-03-22 | Framing started Frames are up and should be completed by mid week. Roof is booked to start next week but there is a delay on windows (ETA late April - early May). It's amazing seeing this all progress, just a couple of months ago it was a patch of grass!

Has your builder giving you a rough move in month or date? Keen to hear if you have when it is 😀 Re: My building progress 18May 09, 2022 8:54 pm AlexB kennyc 08-04-2022 | Colorbond roof installation started I opted for an Anticon blanket which adds an extra R1.3 Batt insulation to the roof and reduces the noise of rain on the tin roof.

Windows are now in, doors, plumbing and duct work to be completed by the end of the week Re: My building progress 19May 10, 2022 6:43 am kennyc AlexB kennyc 08-04-2022 | Colorbond roof installation started I opted for an Anticon blanket which adds an extra R1.3 Batt insulation to the roof and reduces the noise of rain on the tin roof.

We are hoping to be in before Christmas and hope to get a rough month today when we walk through and say where we want switches and PowerPoint's. nothing to do with salespeole. you'd do well to read and ccomprehend the post before bashing away at the keys with some negative comment again. 4 5061 8 3960 5 4916 |
