Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 14, 2010 11:50 am Starting to get tired of waiting for a comittment from our builder when we will be getting a site start. Our Land settled on 4/6/10 - how long did it take your builder to get on site? Mind you we did sign a prelim contract on 30/11/09 and expected everything to sort of be done by the time land settled, just wait for final site/survey etc, our colour and contract signing was in March 10.

DA and Construction Certificate was already issued prior to our bank confirming that funds were available. Congratulations! Nice to put that to bed before christmas, now you can relax 3 7134 What? It's a lighting question, the control joint is only needed at 12m centres, a bulkhead or change of direction will suffice as a 'break' in the ceiling, just make… 8 8551 I am not sure whether Perth has its own way of doing things in regards to this.
