Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 20, 2016 5:00 pm We're halfway through frame stage and have yet to clap eyes on our SS. Is this normal? We asked to meet him during the last school holidays when we were both on leave, but he told us he was extremely busy and kind of brushed us off. At that point we were still doing site prep so that didn't seem terribly unreasonable, but I thought he might have set up a time to meet once the slab was down. What is everyone else's experience like? Do you only see your SS if you happen to bump into each other on site (in which case we won't be meeting ours till we're next on leave in a few months!) or do you have regular/occasional scheduled meetings? Re: How often do you meet your SS? 3May 20, 2016 5:16 pm First meeting was day site was cut then another 4 times after that. We are now at lock up. We are allowed to organise a walk through when we want, our SS said he would rather this than us breaking into our site to look. We also have to email the office to contact our SS. Re: How often do you meet your SS? 4May 20, 2016 5:19 pm Met ours on numerous occasions and contact him direct on mobile when required (we've just finished frame stage).

Re: How often do you meet your SS? 8May 21, 2016 9:56 am We met our SS during bricklaying where he gave us a good overview of the whole thing; we were also offered a meeting at roof stage but decided we didn't need it (we also both work FT so getting to it is a bit of a pain). We have a tiling meeting and then the next time is PCI. My CLO is our man's second wife so she passes any messages back and forth. In our first build we didn't meet him, or didn't even know who he was until PCI.

We were also able to contact him directly on his mobile & then arranged site meetings with him directly.
