We had to wait just over 8 weeks for walls to start. The bricks arrived a week after the slab went down, but once the brickies started it went pretty quick.

Does anyone know how long it's usually taking for brickies to start, I know we will have to wait for the slab to cure but I had heard there was a bit of a shortage of brickies not sure if that is true - hope not http://s96.photobucket.com/user/Seabass ... sort=3&o=0 We had to wait just over 8 weeks for walls to start.

We are hoping to get some concrete soon too Our build thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=66620 Re: Aveling build chianti modified 24Jul 24, 2014 11:41 pm Thanks for the well wishes ! Things have really been happening since my last post there have been people working there most days even on some of those really rainy days. We have had our sewer run which I was glad I seen in progress as they were going straight thru our no services area but after I trudged thru there in my ballet flats and spoke to them they said they would move it Soak wells are in and today they delivered our bricks!! I have written down the dates and here are some pictures : Slab down 10/7/2014 Soakwells delivered 11/7/2014 Sewer run, Windows delivered 18/7/2014 Soak wells installed 21/7/2014 Levelling 22/7/2014 Bricks delivered 24/7/2014 http://s96.photobucket.com/user/Seabass ... sort=3&o=3 http://s96.photobucket.com/user/Seabass ... sort=3&o=1 Also wondering if anyone knows if there is more clearing done at the end or during the build? As the front of our block hasn't been cleared as you can see in the above picture, interested to know so that we can plan what we are doing there, we are undecided as there is a step down. If they don't clear we may leave a step. Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17511 thank you! do we need to get this or our builder before we commence new build on the block? 2 10404 Hi, did you get any money from insurance? if you did, does it match what you've already paid the builders? 3 9559 |
