Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our New Home Adventure with Masterton 101Mar 02, 2014 9:28 pm fingalbrad My frame is just sitting there doing nothing. Apparently they havent allocated a framer to do the job yet. So little has happened in the last 3 weeks. Only 1 day of work a week. Luckily they havent been claiming any extra time Frame up yet Brad?

They were delivered about a week ago and we noticed heaps were cracked and chipped. More bricks then delivered a couple of days later. We are then promised they would begin Monday, but today they started but were only instructed to do half the garage wall? When I drove past at 8:30am the brickies were there scratching their heads, asking how the brick is supposed to look. We have chosen an expensive, mottled brick, not every one is identical. They were asking me how they were supposed to mix them up. The SS told them to just do half a wall and then we would call out PGH to see if it was right. Ally Have they sorted out the brick problems yet Ally?

Which day, who knows!! It rained quite heavily on Friday and over the weekend so it probably delayed the job they were trying to finish. The people in my street are commenting on how everything has just come to a complete halt and why is the frame just sitting there for over a week and nothing happened. Oh well, at least they arent claiming extra days. The SS is really good though so I cant complain too much. I just want this frame to go up so I can start to see what my house looks like Re: Our New Home Adventure with Masterton 104Mar 06, 2014 12:30 pm Apparently the frame wont start till Monday (weather dependent) Re: Our New Home Adventure with Masterton 105Mar 06, 2014 4:37 pm Masterton Overture 17/12/14 - Handover ...... we got the keys !! blog - http://www.mcnamaraadventure.blogspot.com Re: Our New Home Adventure with Masterton 106Mar 07, 2014 11:21 am Can I asked what is the builder's variation margin?

Masterton asked 27% for my contract. thanks Ours is also 27%.... that appears to be standard, and I guess thats how they make their money. They are a business, after all. I doubt they will agree to reduce it, but good luck trying - hope you're successful!!

Went past our block yesterday (10 working days in to the 20 days till construction starts) and it looks the same! I guess nothing will change - no fencing or loo - until they're closer to starting. Maybe next week?
