Enjoy your new home 🏠 Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 14296Mar 01, 2019 12:28 pm ASJ1981 Filbert Street Yes ASJ1981 I think we were about a week apart! We don't really know the process from here but hopefully we aren't too far away? How is your slab looking? So below is the original plan versus our plan; excuse the inversion of the original plan and the fact the words are backwards. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ In essence we removed the dividing wall between the lounge and home office making it one large space and adding in a small wall so the opening is large and square set. We also removed the separate W.C. upstairs and added it into the main bathroom. We added a further vanity to the en-suite bu shuffling the toilet round. Finally we re arranged the robe in Bed4, extending the master WIR. Looks fantastic @filbert Street Do you mean you will have a dwarf wall (i'm not sure if that's what it's called), if so, that would look amazing and really open the space up! We are building the Washington too, with extensions and additions it's just under 30 squares. I contemplated on giving my teenage daughter a WIR but decided i NEEDED the space more Look forward to seeing your progress and journey! Have you received your End Panel? From EP to site, it was approx 1 week to site scrape. Signed EP on 31/01 and land was levelled on 06/02. No but a dwarf wall now sounds like an amazing idea!!! It is a full wall but only a metre or so down the wall. We are sending construction plans back today so not sure not sure how long for EP. Hahaha good on you for keeping your robe!

Hahaha good on you for keeping your robe! @filbert Street We received the Final End Panel 9 days after we signed the Construction Plans. During this time, your CSR will also send you the gap payment invoice. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 14298Mar 01, 2019 8:24 pm A week of fine weather and no action has prompted me to think about liquidated damages. Can I confirm that Day 0 is at Site scrape/excavation? We are still waiting for piering to occur and our CSR hasn't replied to let us know if there is an expected date or what it is yet. Can anyone explain to me what constitutes a wet/rain day, do you count Mon to Fri or Sat?

Can anyone explain to me what constitutes a wet/rain day, do you count Mon to Fri or Sat? becks81 I’m pretty sure it’s 5mm of rain or more as per BOM. I also don’t think they count weekends but I’m not sure. It took us 4 weeks from scrape to slab Currently week 15 since slab and have had 7 weeks including Christmas shutdown of no action. My site supervisor is fantastic but we have had no luck with trades and scheduling in some instances We are waiting on bricklayers to come back and have been told another week and a half. Is quite frustrating after waiting 3 weeks for them to start It compounds when it costs us $3100 a week to be in our rental and we have been here since last May due to admin issues and delays. Unfortunately I have to drive past my site every day including weekends for school and weekend sport for my son and it really annoys me when it just sits there.

That sounds so frustrating for you! So are you subtracting the 7 weeks and calling it week 8 or will you add it to rain days at the end? I know a week really isn’t very long but all the little delays are adding up for us and I feel like we are in limbo between CSR and SS, so there is nobody really accountable.
