Still more delays... council requested a geotechnical report so we've been waiting on that for a few weeks now. So frustrating - I just want my slab!!! *stamps foot impatiently* Fingers crossed the report is just for box ticking (concern from council about flood level, drainage among other things)..... Re: New Home - Summit Homes 'The Orchard' - Perth SOR 23Mar 01, 2017 11:30 am The wait to construction can be so frustrating! Hope you can move in by the end of the year... my build - http://61ca.wordpress.com Re: New Home - Summit Homes 'The Orchard' - Perth SOR 24Apr 04, 2017 7:51 pm Another update! We might have siteworks starting next week!

The brickie just finished up yesterday, we reached plate height They're doing the rendering on today.... Some photos! A panorama hubby took last week by standing on his car: **August 2017 update: photobucket won't work and i can't upload it locally, sorry! And a pic of the render from today (north side of the house): Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Must say I am quite thankful that the render paint won't be a mustard colour LOL. Re: New Home - Summit Homes 'The Orchard' - Perth SOR 30Jun 13, 2017 11:21 pm Really love your brick choice! Our brickies should be finished this week, but we then we need to wait for the second floor to start. I'm finding Summit to be great so far in the construction phase, although our building supervisor changed after a few weeks. Re: New Home - Summit Homes 'The Orchard' - Perth SOR 31Jun 13, 2017 11:54 pm Ours changed last week (or the week before?!) too. Apparently they've just restructured them, our original supervisor (Victor) was moved "further north". We had a different SS for the slab, as well, but I *think* this is the normal way Summit do things (??).
