Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 17, 2010 6:37 pm So, who else is building in VIC (especially those at cut, slab, frame, roof, or brick stage!) and has had delays due to this awful weather? I've been waiting on my roof tiles for two weeks Thankfully it looks fairly clear Mon-Tues-Wed... Re: VIC Builders - Rain Rain Go Away 2Jun 17, 2010 7:29 pm We haven't started building yet but our titles have been delayed for 2 or 3 weeks it looks like at this stage to the rain. I won't mind it so much when we have a tank and a new garden to water, but we've got to get to that stage yet. It's frustrating Building the Foxley 29 with PD. Contracts signed 24/05/10 Land titled 3/11/10 Land settlement 18/11/10 Site Scrape 17/01/11 Slab poured 3/02/11 Re: VIC Builders - Rain Rain Go Away 3Jun 17, 2010 8:39 pm Yeah in the same boat as jenses - this wet weather has enabled the developer to have "wet weather delays"... we've been delayed since February... aren't we in a drought? Damn rain - we need it but a lot of us don't want it!!! We can't win can we! Sleven Moved into our Atlantique MkII 36 by Carlisle Homes Re: VIC Builders - Rain Rain Go Away 4Jun 17, 2010 9:45 pm yeah I guess I can't really complain then, at least I have land, a slab, and a frame! especially one left standing after the storm. fair bit of builders wrap ripped off though.

Inches of mud everywhere, but thankfully it didn't stop the tradies. There is a holdup with the frame, but that has nothing to do with the weather. Some people don't have time to do the job right the first time, but seem to have plenty of time to fix their mistakes.

Re: VIC Builders - Rain Rain Go Away 14Jun 18, 2010 12:14 pm I feel your pain, we were held up in FEB for weeks due to an unusual amount of rain. Re: VIC Builders - Rain Rain Go Away 15Jun 26, 2010 2:40 pm We have been held up for over 2 weeks now, as they are waiting to lay our slab. They have to wait for the ground to dry out first and just when it is ready, down comes the friggin rain!!! Damn you rain!
