Feels like it has gone on forever we started at around the same time so goes to show they cannot do it in the 12 months they say I know they can't build a house inside 12 months, we are proof enough of that. But they do still continue to sprout those words .... just go have a look on their Facebook page under Posts to Page. One was made on the 22 January, asking the question about timeframes and the answer given is exactly that ... but with a few disclaimers which really don't mean much. No they haven't learned from all the complaints. I emailed the construction manager about it, how disgusted I was to see it on FB and that he had given us assurances they just don't commit 6 months admin, 6 months build, they don't say it to customers .... and here we are a week later and it is still there for all to see. I call Bollocks! Re: Kelly & Troys build HGWA portico & front door :) 2179Jan 30, 2015 6:29 pm Well the frontage is finished front door stained and portico painted - just waiting on garage doors now!
