I think it was 26 weeks??? Actual days: From site scrape to handover was 117 days, but between site scrape and slab we had to get retaining walls built ourselves (Coral weren't involved in that part, and there were a couple of delays), so if we take it from the day the retaining walls were finished, so the day Coral could get started, to handover, it was 96 days Built the Coral Homes Hamilton 252 - moved in 20/10/2010 and loving it!! https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=27215 Re: How many days did your house take to build? 12Jun 20, 2011 11:40 pm Would love to Beechwood homes - its about 33sqs Dep paid April 2010.

Oh how nice it is is to have an entire building crew dedicated to just your house! Most trades working all weekends has really broomed the build along How many days did your house take to build? 16Mar 18, 2012 7:55 pm smorgzzz What is classed as working days? Is that based on a 6 day working week? I guess it would depend on the builder, but ours says days means "...workings days, and does not include weekends or public holidays" So 180 contract days actually means something like 36 weeks plus holidays (or 252 calendar days. So it'd be interesting if people above are quoting calendar days as the completion time. Re: How many days did your house take to build? 18Mar 19, 2012 12:20 pm MattyT Who are you building with? Sounds like mine - Falrm0nt. 180days from Slab down to completion, based on working days. At the moment it's been 38 since site levelling started and my roof tiles were put on last week, bricking should start this week. Not sure how long to expect from here to completion, but it's looking good!
