And initial estimated practical completion date of: 08/04/2018 Land settlement should be tomorrow, provided nothing goes wrong.. Nice! How long did council take to get them back to you? Our land actually settled last week, they brought it forward for some of the lots. Went smoothly, so should be fine for you.

Our land actually settled last week, they brought it forward for some of the lots. Went smoothly, so should be fine for you. I'm not entirely sure actually, I don't know when they were sent off. I think maybe they sent stuff off ages ago, but had to update it once land was available to do sewer stuff? Then it was within 7 business days I think... /shrugs. Land settled today though, yay!! Just have to organise some paperwork for builders/bank and hopefully we'll get more info and when it will all start! Re: Springfield Rise - Custom Valeco Home - COLOUR SELECTION 159Sep 06, 2017 7:47 am Congrats!! How exciting!!! Re: Springfield Rise - Custom Valeco Home - COLOUR SELECTION 160Sep 06, 2017 8:58 pm we are still waiting for our plans to come back after fixing up all the mistakes To my understanding early saw cuts are to control shrinkage cracks, so doing them now would be pointless. Control joints may reduce ugly cracking during periods of soil… 3 9792 Hi all I need a guidance on how far I need to space expansion joints in the concrete driveway and its type (keyway/foam.) Contraction joints are at 3m max for a 125 slab. Thanks 0 10888 |
