Thanks! Yes. Getting some critical inspections done. I'll get the roof checked at the same time as wiring / plumbing before the plaster goes in. Also for the practical completion inspection.

Lock-up will likely be in the next few weeks and tiling will be occurring during the Xmas break. I gave them a goal for completion in mid February and are going to try and work out a schedule for achieving it.
