It looks like we're about 3 months behind you in the process. We went to scheduling at the start of last week, and we were told the process should take a relatively quick 3.5 weeks. We're hoping to have a slab down by the end of June, fingers crossed. If we follow your timeline we might just get there. We're currently living in Vic and moving to WA at the start of August. It looks like you met with your site supervisor about a month after the slab went down. If that's the case for us, we may not quite be in Perth by then. Were you given any choice in the meeting time with the SS? We're hoping to be into our house by Christmas, so we'll be keenly following your progress!

It must be hard on you to be building from far. Hope you have someone in Perth to keep an eye on your build. Whereabouts are you building? Things will progress quite quickly once scheduling complete. It took us about 4 weeks in scheduling. The meeting with SS is just part of meet and greet. I'm sure you can organise once you're in Perth. We push for it once brick work commence as we will really like to meet the SS. There are some other builders who organise their meeting with SS once they reach plate height. Re: Whiteman Edge - Blueprint Homes 54May 27, 2015 12:17 am We are now in the 5th week of brickwork. It's progressing well but slightly on the slow side as we only have 1 brickie working. To make things worst couple of times he had to leave our place to fix errors made by other brickies in other houses. So far we have been happy with his quality of work. Fingers crossed he advised we should reach plate height by this Friday or latest next Monday. Can't wait for it. Will post some pictures once it's all up. After looking through the plans again I'm kicking myself for not picking up these issues prior to signing the contract. Can someone please advise what are your kitchen cabinets height as well as your ensuite/bathroom cabinets height? I've just noticed ours is at 900mm in the kitchen. Is that the standard? As for ensuite and bathroom its at 810mm which I think it's very low. It's lower than our current place cabinet height. Re: Whiteman Edge - Blueprint Homes 55May 31, 2015 12:46 pm Brickwork is now 99% complete. The only thing left is the alfresco pillar. We will officially reach plate height on Tuesday woohoo.

Since than we had roof timber, fascia, eaves, garage & alfresco ceiling installed. Went by today, all electrical wiring have also been completed in the past 2 days. CLO confirmed this coming week will be gutter/plumbing and roof cover by end of the week. Happy with how quickly things have progressed in the past week. Fingers cross the weather will be good for roof cover.
