It took some time to get there, but I'm glad to finally see some progress. Walking across feels strange, I thought I would have a better appreciation for room sizes but I'm not so sure yet. One small set back however. The plumbing in the laundry has been installed in the wrong location. Summit were very quick to respond and promises to rectify this as soon as possible. I have no idea how they correct this though.

Shame about the laundry plumbing but I'm sure they'll make good. Re: First time build: Custom narrow riverside home in WA 14May 30, 2024 1:12 pm Soak wells and electrical run in happening this week! Summit has told me they will relocate the laundry plumbing after the walls are completed. I'm actually pretty happy with this, as I was worried that brickwork would be delayed while they sort it out. I'm expecting brick delivery in 2 weeks so hopefully walls start going up not long after that. Re: First time build: Custom narrow riverside home in WA 15Jun 16, 2024 3:03 pm Sadly very little movement on site since soak wells went in. There are also missing/wrong storm water drains which need to be sorted, along with a broken pipe. Plumbing has been pretty poor so far! I've been advised that bricks won't start for 5 more weeks... Can't say I'm too impressed at the moment! Re: First time build: Custom narrow riverside home in WA 18Jul 12, 2024 4:31 pm I just got word that the bricks will be completed by mid next week. That's just about on time for when I was initially told they would begin! They have worked extremely quickly which I was very surprised to see. The finish is a little rough, though I'm having the whole house rendered so it's not a problem. Here's a few shots from a few days ago.
