Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 28, 2011 11:47 am Hey is anyone experiencing huge delays in there building in the above areas? My house was almost complete in December last year and I'm still waiting for things to be done! Is there a lack of Tradesmen? or is my builder just lazy? Not willing to mention the company I'm building through but it's getting ridiculas! Any comments would be great! Re: Delay's Doreen, Mernda and South Morang? 2Feb 28, 2011 11:53 am I wish I was at the building stage!!! I've been waiting over a year for my land in mernda to be released!! Looks like they are getting around to build the roads... Re: Delay's Doreen, Mernda and South Morang? 3Feb 28, 2011 11:57 am How many days are in your building contract? Have they gone over the contract days? We built with Henley, we had a 270 day contract. The build was completed in 255 days. Site scrape mid October, keys handed to us 30th June. There would be weeks on end without any progress.

Lorraine: which section you in, might be near me? Re: Delay's Doreen, Mernda and South Morang? 5Feb 28, 2011 12:37 pm Not much you can do, as they're going about the build within time frame. We had cabinets put in mid Feb, and it took until end June to get the keys. We were told we'd have keys by March, then by end April, then by end May, and eventually we got then end June.

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.
