What bricks did you get? Hope I haven't already asked you that. We got a call today,despite having bricks and sand they are not starting our bricking until Friday next week "if we are lucky". It's ridiculous. And now it's freaking raining AGAIN. At this rate we will not be in until new year 😞 Also found out the extra charge is due to the soil conditions and there be rock and soft soil so then they had to use blue metal. ____________________________________________ Building the Altona Media Entertainer with Allworth Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 247Apr 03, 2014 6:41 pm Really? That's no good, sorry to hear! What's the reason? Just a shortage of trades? We've gone with pgh sorbetto. It was on one of the displays at the central coast which we loved! It's the same as Cameron's! Haha You can call me Chris!

But it's just frustrating. Our frames have been up for 2 weeks now. There are now houses in our estate that had their slab laid after us and they are now being bricked. Sometimes I wish we had never decided to build a new house. The longer it take the longer we have to pay mortgage and rent 😡 ____________________________________________ Building the Altona Media Entertainer with Allworth Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 249Apr 03, 2014 6:46 pm Nice I like those bricks 😉 ____________________________________________ Building the Altona Media Entertainer with Allworth Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 250Apr 03, 2014 6:52 pm When did your block get cut? I feel your pain, with waiting on our land to register to admin delays it's been a mission! We put a deposit on our block in feb 13 and will be nearly 18 months by the time we are in.

And if so, was allworth ok with this? We got the go ahead with doing it and it was deducted from our tender. And now allworth has come back that we cant do our electrical work because you need to own the business. We were having my brother inlaw do it for us. And now they just told us we couldnt do it just like that! With no advanced warning from head office. Only to get a phone call from our sales consultant letting us know only now! **MrzMutton** Building with Allcastle Homes (Big Bannaby 36 Ascot) My Blog: https://andreaandstevesascot36.blogspot.com/ Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 260Apr 07, 2014 7:46 pm Yeah we were told upfront that you had to be the qualified tradie yourself You can call me Chris!
