One year since construction commenced.
Still no bloody idea when it will be finished.
I totally understand! Hopefully the pain ends soon

That's almost a 2 year build, once you add rain days/public holidays & Xmas shutdown for a month (which will probably happen twice, depending on when you start the build!) When we built our villina 2 years ago it was 200 working days - surely the shortage of tradies isn't that bad? That's an awful lot of rent to be paying while you are waiting ....... I know! I almost missed the clause with the Building Period because it wasn't in the HIA booklet but in a separate "Particulars of the contract" list. I will look into getting legal advice. Yes, I'll be on this forum until 2020! They more than likely made an error on the calculations with days. They quoted me 7-10months. But had written down 322 working days which equalled 16 months. Had to make them change to 230 days (still not happy about it but they won't bludge any more). They had calculated as 7 days instead of 5 days working week. I reckon the f*** up on urs like this too. Make them fix it. I did. Speaking of mistakes, they made a mistake on our tender variation. Calculated to be $100 more than what the final tender was suppose to be. Make sure to double check all their costings! 25 5084 Hi Emma, Still waiting to access the land for surveyor. We are going with hamptons facade hoping to keep it under 600k.
