I built with them and the start was fine and the final 10% of work took 5 months- for no good reason at all. We're all just looking for ways to be in our house on time.... Anthea Re: Tips on how to get builder to hurry up already? 19May 05, 2009 6:26 am I can really relate to this as our start was very very slow and its so frustrating see other houses fly past you. But once we got to lockup it has flown - not as fast as Hagwl's and Mundies but fast enough for me. When I used to go a week without seeing anyone on site I used to ring the builder. Someone would appear the next day. I know my builder does houses in blocks and I think we were ahead of that block and had to wait until the other houses caught up. Maybe ask for a sit down with your builder and draw a time frame and let him know how important it is that you are in by July. Chin up girl! Fi has moved in!!

I'm also saying that the home can be quite easily finished in three months. so i'am effectively a fence sitter lol Your words give me hope paintingprofessional! We are not asking to move in early (although that would be nice) just as per contract. All your comments and thoughts & advice have all been extremely helpful and helps me feel I am not alone in this crazy/insane journey!! We have left a message for our builder and if we don’t hear from him today then dh will be following up. I am thinking at this point, it would be best to try and deal directly with the builder first. If you’re going to talk to NBG, it’s almost the same except with a middleman…i.e. you call NBG, NBG calls builder…builder talks to NBG, NBG calls you back…This would be Option B. Thanks again all of you….i wish we could all meet someday at the park for BBQ….how good would that be ? Wishing you all a wonderful day with lots of progress on our houses! If your patio is going to be 35 sqm then that's going to need Council Approval. The fact that they previously approved your 25sqm patio will be irelevant 1 2705 Thank you so much. This has been very helpful. We definitely wish to settle and get these people out of our life. They are trying to charge us interest on late… 7 9319 Just be careful with building stability during construction, that is when the structure may be weakened, refer to your engineering drawings for stability methodology. 1 6174 |
