Im becoming very anxious as I'm still waiting on notification on when they will begin. Was supposed to receive working drawings 2 weeks ago but nothing! Not sure what is going on so I will make a phone call tomorrow. How long usually from settlement until start? Im hoping I see at least something happen before xmas...even a fence up!
Hey Elyce55
Thank you! We're pretty excited, yep! It's been a journey, but it's slowly coming to a close.
With regards to our timings, 18/6 was settlement and 9/7 was the earthworks/startup.
Your file doesn't get handed over to "on site" team until the slab is fully complete.
For us, this was 27/7 and felt like an absolute eternity!
With your situation, I reckon you should be jumping straight on to your pre-site admin and get your drawings delivered as soon as possible. I'd expect a good 3 weeks to 1 month period between seeing the first draft and seeing your developer approval/building permit. Keep in mind the council will shut on xmas week and might be closed for a few weeks (not sure how long exactly). So, it's really important to get those drawings signed off and your approvals.
Keep us posted!
