I feel like the pre start is going on forever. I wish the builders would just tell the truth about how long the admin will take...and that the pre start lady would stop telling me how much work she has and how they need to take on extra staff.
We signed with the builder early November, settled on the land late November and were told we would have prestart in Jan. In the end we had pre start in March and still don't have the costs back due to so many mistakes and items being completely forgotten. We have signed one version of the variations so we could get started on the mortgage documents. They have left the 'forgotten' items for version 2 so they could start on the working drawings but I'm still waiting for prices.
