(Obviously I didn't read all the fine print!) Our build is already 35 weeks with any additions Kerith, As per the contract the extension of time due to "adverse weather" shall be calculated in accordance with BOM M4 bulletin. You can download the daily rainfall data from BOM website for free. checkout the website http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/data/. Just select your nearest station. Hope this helps.

Our build is already 35 weeks with any additions The only one who can tell you how many rain days is god himself. At the end of the build you would need to ask how many rain days they will claim. They should be counting rain days as they go. Same for supplier delays - ask at the end. -- I bit the bullett and contacted management yesterday in regards to the issues we have been having. I received a call 30 mins later from a friendly felllow named Peter, and booked in an inspection with the SS, Peter and ourselves for this morning. Obviously Peter's job is to smooth things out and make the client happy and he has done this. We pointed out all the bricking issues and they were all noted down. 4 windows sills will be replaced and a random bricks all over the house will be replaced that were installed crooked. Most of the mortar inconsistencies should also be fixed. We're hoping for settlement before the long weekend. Fingers crossed Hey Houda, Glad to hear things are finally getting fixed for you. I’m interested to know. Did you end up finding a building inspector specifically for bricks in the end? I think we are going to end up in the same basket as you as we have crooked bricks, mortar and general bricking inconsistencies. Thanks Scarfy Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 996Sep 19, 2012 7:40 pm Thanks Taps! Does this only apply when there is no roof?

Welcome newbies... I've been really busy at work the last few weeks, but just noticed its been two weeks since we have done colours... How long did it take to have your colours finalized... We have had our plumbing variation signed but that's it. I emailed HOG the night after our colours to confirm a few things but they only replied today. And secondly, how long after your council approval did your build commence? Thanks in advance. Built a Hawthorne 31 with EB nessjeffdreamhouse.blogspot.com.au Building an investment now with New Living homes... We are at nearly finished... Just landscaping and driveway to go!

My plans were approved on 7th of August and I cant see construction starting in next 10 days Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 999Sep 19, 2012 8:39 pm Scarfy HoudaMan Kerith Does it say in the contract how many rain days & supplier delay days?
