We are experiencing significant delays in getting to slab stage. Our construction officially started end of Jan 2022 and we are not even at a stage where the slab formwork is complete. Now with the rains there is absolutely no chance of anything moving. I have been in touch with our SM and according to him some contractors who were supposed to work few weeks ago had too much work on hand and didn't show up to our site.

Re: Building with Metricon 8642Jun 03, 2022 4:24 am Hi, Our situation is that our price is locked as per April '21 base price (it has already gone up by $70k). We have HIA contract in place and have made 1st progress payment of $25k. All approvals are in place and just need to give a go ahead to Metricon to start building. Any advise what should we do I.e. go ahead, cancel the contract, wait or is there any other option?

I am about to give a go ahead to Metricon to start building our home in Sydney and would like to understand how things are progressing. After months of delay there has been progress on my build in the last few weeks. I've put some of my milestones below: Site cut 27 Jan 22 Piering 01 Feb 22 No work done - 02 Feb till 21 Apr 22 Slab formwork and plumbing completed - 06 May 22 Slab poured - 10 May 22 Framing started - 23rd May 22 Frame completed - 02 Jun 22 I did a pre-slab, and slab inspection by a third party and besides some minor issues overall they noted good workmanship. I have just received an invoice for frame completion. I'm will now get my inspectors to check everything. My SM is updating me every week. Facia and gutters are being installed now. Roofing is booked for mid month. Things have started to move fast now and I hope the momentum doesn't slow down. Re: Building with Metricon 8645Jun 03, 2022 10:02 am Any specific reason for no works between Feb to Apr ? Any work stop notes issued ?

Any work stop notes issued ? No notices. I was just told there was too much rain, wet conditions, contractors not able to come due to flooding, contractor had covid etc etc However during the same time other builds across from me were progressing, hence reason for my earlier post.
