thanks for asking, After the escavation, we took over the site to complete all retaining walls. Completed this in 3 weeks (found a good landscaper) Some issues came up when we found a stream of water on the site, a plumber was called in to pump it out and hopefully today boring for piers has begun !

the slab is done and we have come up with a minor stuff up from the builders end. One of the windows was shown to be a triangular in the elevation ... This was a error from the builder and they want to put in a section96.. I tell them leave this to me speak to council who agree that a small error and just make it a square one to suit other windows. Next the builder says give me something in writing .... i tell them its the council who is being nice why are you guys who made the mistake in the first place want to throw a book at them ? it continiues .... i must admit the Council at Kogarah are a bunch of good people.. more to come soon Buildling a Clarendon Crestmead in Sydney DA Approved on 20/03/2008 Slab Poured on 02/09/2008 Frame Completed 15/10/2008 Brickwork Complete 2/02/2009 Roofwork Complete 05/03/2009 Re: Building the "Clarendon Crestmead" 35Sep 18, 2008 5:10 pm Good news with the slab.
That's a tricky situation with the window. You can see why the builder would want something in writing to cover themselves. Verbal agreements are easily forgotten when it comes to final inspection I guess. Hope it gets sorted quickly. C&G -------------------------------- A new building chapter begins.. Re: Building the "Clarendon Crestmead" 37Sep 18, 2008 8:09 pm Things are certainly moving now, hope you sort that window out, it sounds like the council is being very fair. We now have a blog. http://allaboutthebuild.blogspot.com/ Re: Building the "Clarendon Crestmead" 39Sep 19, 2008 9:02 am well it was a copy and paste error in the classical sense. The original House we selected had a media room that was at the back behind the bedroom. Hence the triangular window on the design.
We moved this media room to the side of the house to suit our block, and the need for the trapesium shaped window was not needed !
