The crushed rock was delivered a few days ago and today your plumbing has started (they should be done sometime today by the look of things). Looks like you will have your slab early next week or very close to. I'll take some pics later on today. There were too many tradies there this morning and I think they might think it's weird if I'm taking pictures of 2 different lots.. lol Our house thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=18335 Re: Our Villa 24 @ Karinya - Point Cook WE HAVE A SITE SCRAPE!!! 63Feb 21, 2010 9:55 am This is great news!

I had a contract with FH, they took my deposit, then ended the contract as they said the salesman made a mistake on the price and tried to put up the price and I refused to sign the variation, so they ended the contract. They wont return my deposit. Re: Our Villa 24 @ Karinya - Point Cook WE HAVE A SITE SCRAPE!!! 65Feb 23, 2010 8:04 pm Your block has now been boxed up ready for the slab. With some luck you should have a slab tomorrow. I'll be sure to take a heap of pics for you!

They wont return my deposit. Great first post Mischa, You shouyld check your contract. I dont have mine in front of me right now but it does state as does ours that any errors made by the builder in favour of the client/owner are to be followed through and not amended unless the owner agrees to it. So there must be other reasons why the builder has ended the contract early. Your not giving the whole story. But thanks for the heads up. So far our experiance has been pretty good.

WOW, you're really lucky to have GSK building nr you to give you updates whilst on holiday!!! Great job GSK!!!! I would love the same if I was overseas and wasn't able to keep an eye on my build. I went past late Yesterday and the concrete still hadn't been poured for the slab however there were people on site. It looked like they were working more on the boxing for the slab. I'll be going past after lunch today. *fingers crossed* you've got a slab!

We finally arrived home yesterday afternoon and as soon as we had picked up our dog from his opulent holiday kennel we went past our black to se the slab. We were very happy to see it all neat and grey and nice and stuff. Even if its looking a tad small. Just have to remember it will have a second story added. Ill add a picture from outside the temp fence as soon as I get a fresh one. NO EXPECTATIONS, NO DISAPPOINTMENTS!
