Data from the BOM months later is not acceptable, and cannot be used to extend the building time. Wisdom's statement is misleading and deceptive, even before they claim the 20 days which without appropriate timely notification are irrelevant. Such behaviour by Wisdom Homes is deceptive, aimed at securing financial advantage, and those doing and supporting this should be reported to the appropriate regulatory authorities.
Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 15891Jul 15, 2020 3:27 pm CS199 In terms of weather related delays what is everyone'e experience. Got this response back from Wisdom even though we did not encounter more then 2 rainy days Weather days are calculated from the beginning of Construction through to the end. There have been 20 days of adverse weather within this time that prevented works from being carried out on site. The calculation is taken directly from the Bureau of Meteorology. How is the "beginning of Construction" date is obtained? Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 15892Jul 15, 2020 3:31 pm malypetu CS199 In terms of weather related delays what is everyone'e experience.

Unless you feel avatar manhattan52 's comment here is appropriate official confirmation! Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 15897Jul 15, 2020 3:52 pm Manhattan52 @Huggies the Falmec is pretty good. I am installing another Falmec in my next build also Thanks Manhattan52, I am also leaning towards Falmec. Ducting and installation seem standard - I think Qasair will make the builder's head explode. It seems installation for Qasair is also quite expensive.

They've installed the fence and levelled our place last week. Thanks for the info I'll put a big mark on the calendar. Yes, mine was also from site scrape. If possible, try to keep a track of when tradies are working on your site because Wisdom will claim any day where there was more than 2mm of rain. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 15900Jul 15, 2020 4:13 pm Does anybody know how to get a document from the Bureau of Meteorology, stating rainfall by date and postcode or area.
