Hi,
We've just received our stage invoice for lock up. Exciting, I hear you say? Well, I'm not sure that we're actually AT lock up. Thought someone might have an opinion.
We're building double story, with a couple of small extensions to each side on the first floor (for dining room and pantry). These extensions don't have the roof on yet, and in my view, this means we're not at lock up. All the rest of the roof, external cladding etc is done, but the scaffolding for upstairs is still in place, and as it goes through the extensions, the roof can't be put on there. Surely incomplete roof covering = no lockup? What do you think?
I must say though that their billing process works very well - the renderers were still working at 2pm today, and we managed to get the stage payment invoice at 5:20pm. If only it was that quick to get a response to MY questions!!
Thanks for your help.
