Well the parts that are finished. The upstairs will be left for a while and we'll concentrate on finishing downstairs. I don't have many photos but here's a link to our living area https://www.facebook.com/77655080243648 ... =1&theater Builders are periodically coming back to patch up minor things. Druid, we were told 9 month build from slab down when we first visited the display house. We were lucky to start when we did as the majority of the build happened during the summer when rain didn't damage ceilings, plaster etc. Approximate dates for us Slab Down - End of May 2014 Lock up - End of Feb 2015 PCI - End of March 2015 Handover - End of April 2015 Looks like you should have keys by the end of June, but will need to add time for tradies to finish flooring and whatever else you need after that.

Thanks Aaron, living room & tiling looks good, I will give him a call in the morning, how long did it take to do, the quotes I have say 8 days, but that will turn into 2 weeks, all the glass splash backs will be fitted before handover, the carpets are organised, we deciding on which blind company after getting two very similar quotes, and I thought I had the tiling arranged, we are looking at 2-3 weeks after handover before we move in Re: Our Ben Trager Build in Secret Harbour 16May 14, 2015 10:34 pm Lower roof framing almost finished. Bit annoyed that they have to stop and wait on brickies to come back and fix the portico before they can continue. Only been asking for it to be fixed since January ![]() Re: Our Ben Trager Build in Secret Harbour 17May 15, 2015 10:50 am ![]() Thanks Aaron, living room & tiling looks good, I will give him a call in the morning, how long did it take to do, the quotes I have say 8 days, but that will turn into 2 weeks, all the glass splash backs will be fitted before handover, the carpets are organised, we deciding on which blind company after getting two very similar quotes, and I thought I had the tiling arranged, we are looking at 2-3 weeks after handover before we move in We had 100 square metres of tiling done plus the subway tiles on the splashback, and that took 1 guy 5 days. He wasn't there all day everyday. I guess if your existing quotes are including screeding, then that's where the additional time would be coming from. We were also pretty fortunate that he could start the first day after handover.

By the time we get keys, get flooring, painting, fencing and pool in, we'll be cutting it fine. Here's hoping they finish before the 50 week Mark. My parents are coming over just after Christmas, hope I have a bed to put them in! Re: Our Ben Trager Build in Secret Harbour 19May 15, 2015 11:18 am My partner reckons we're moving in day 1 lol I guess we will be camping upstairs while we finish downstairs so it is liveable! We are having Christmas at ours this year all going to plan, even if we finish at 12 month mark we will still have 2 months to get what we can done, fingers crossed.

We will have to get some kind of wall built at he from to contain our Dog. Don't want a sandpit for too long because he will just dig holes everywhere and roll in it! As long as flooring and painting is done, we can move. The rest we can do once we are in. Can't wait to move. Tradie may sit at home but will need to get house plastered as well or will you sit it out? 6 28993 My door tends to rub against the frame during winter and I'm looking to fix it so it closes smoothly.
