Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Question: Slab down??? 2Jul 14, 2014 7:04 pm Lots of variables that are not written here. Have you done prestart? Do you have a building permit? etc. From signing up with a builder it could take from 3 months to 3 years to get to site, it really depends on so many things. Re: Question: Slab down??? 3Jul 14, 2014 7:08 pm How long is a piece of string no seriously as above have you done prestart yet and obtained building permit?

My build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=68002 Re: Question: Slab down??? 6Jul 15, 2014 10:55 am Possibly still in the scheduling stage. Also with the weather that we are experiencing lately, a lot of the slabs that were booked up might of been delayed - having a flow on effect to yours indirectly. My advise would be patient - better to wait for a trusted tradie than to push them to find some cowboy to do the job quickly. Re: Question: Slab down??? 9Jul 15, 2014 4:29 pm kdolls @tim_k - thanks! Just feelin the pain of paying the rent and the interest on our loan at the same time. Hopefully it will start soon Kdolls just an observation - if youre feeling teh pain now, its going to get worse. depending on single/double and size of the home youre building and how many issues you have a long the way, the pain of paying mortgage and interest is going to get much worse. My view is you should NOT be feeling the pain, and then you know youve budgeted accordingly. I hope you mean you are merely annoyed at having to pay mortgage and rent at the same time.
