I have neither . Went up today and we have soakwells on the front and the most I could get out of DAH was that we will get deliveries over the next 4 weeks to our site!!! Not good really. They cannot give us a schedule until the SS is there when brickie starts!!! Poor poor poor! Got the invoice out for th slab pretty quickly though - shame everything isn't as efficient as their invoicing department!

Hows things with yours - any more progres? Pops xxx Yes all the walls her marked out, which was pretty cool to see. I have finally realised the girls walk in robes are very large - The frames had been moved and there was a very pretty lockup shed. The site looked neater yesterdat as well, they must have smoothed out all the sand. And they filled behind the retaining wall ready for the new fence. There were ALOT of bricks. We received our next invoice, you are right, nothing is wrong with the accounts departments.

Keep the news coming Pops xxx We have neither too I feel ur pain, must be a damn DAH thing!! All my CLO will tell us is that the bricks will be delivered 7-10 days after the slab goes down...well its been longer than 7 -10 days and no bricks and soakwells not installed. Yes its amazing how quick they want their money but when it comes to everything else slow, slow, slow! I dont mind, I know a house takes time to build but I just want them to stick with what they promise!! We also cant meet our SS until we get back from holidays as this week he is busy so that means we wont meet him til May!

Ideally there should not be any weight - not even bricks - on top of slab for 10-14 days. i have asked my builder to write in contract that brick work won't start for at least 14 days after slab is poured Re: DAH Vs Life*tyle Vs DAH Vs Life*tyle 35Apr 10, 2011 4:14 pm Thanks CC101, I wish my CLO knew that and that way I wouldnt be expecting bricks!

Ideally there should not be any weight - not even bricks - on top of slab for 10-14 days. i have asked my builder to write in contract that brick work won't start for at least 14 days after slab is poured My confusion with this comes from the fact that the office also told me 7 to 10 days . Not being in the building trade, I just go with what they tell me. So, it ends up being a disappointment! I wouldn't want anything to compromise our build, especially the foundations - wish they would just say what you have said above if that is the case but they didn't! I have pushed for a date as I feel we should have a rough schedule and they cannot give that. However, when pushed further I got a date of delivery of bricks followed closely by brickies. Surely our jobs are booked in with the brickies so this information should be made available to those who have a slab? I put this to them and then got a date Excited now to watch our progress - I still drive to the plot to just look at our lovely slab I am such a saddo!
