He helped me out alot. They still are being helpful when I call. Id recommend them to anyone! We have had a few probs with bricking and some of the roofing supports not right. We are also on our 3rd CLO with the builder as they keep leaving. My tip is to email the builder so you have a record rather than tlaking on the phone only. Its helped me out a couple of times. The tiling is planned to go down next week, ill post pics once its done My build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=33640&p=476552#p476552 Prelim signed 23Dec09 Contract signed 18May10 Earthworks Building Licence 13Aug10 Earthworks Started 11Oct10 Building Licence issued 11Nov10 Slab 18Jan11 Bricking Started 16Feb11 Re: At lockup.

Bob reminds me of a old fashioned country bloke though i know his not. The sort of bloke that you deal on a handshake & thats your word,if you follow.
