Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Beginning the build of our new home 61Mar 24, 2014 8:25 pm It's been a while since I've posted an update... Sorry been busy with things other than building. We are now on the final stage. I think it was a week after we were invoiced for the lock up stage that we received an invoice for the fixing stage. Don't know how they invoiced us with the kitchen island cupboards not yet fitted due to some issue with distance of the hole for some pipes to go in but that has been resolved so we paid the fixing stage. We have all the cupboards, sinks, shower screen, tiles and roller door in! We will have the floor coverings this week hopefully. Now getting quotes for fencing to be done soon. Re: Beginning the build of our new home 62Apr 15, 2014 11:15 pm It's been more than 3 weeks and we only had the laminate floor in yesterday... no splashback, no driveway and no final inspection date yet. The final stage is taking soooo loooong it's not funny! I reckon HIA should change the percentage of the last payment in the contract to at least 30% so that builders will hurry up to finish the house to get their money. Oh well with the Easter and Anzac holidays coming we are not expecting to be in the house till mid to end of May. Fingers crossed!
