They aren’t the house so not sure. Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders 164Nov 03, 2017 11:44 am Interesting today and it's only lunchtime, lol Drove past this morning to see they are putting in screw piles today. Photo's attached. Met our SS this morning. I like him. Straight to the point. Slab is supposed to be poured on 13th November. He's already been in communication with our private inspector because we asked for a pre pour inspection. Warned us that the 13th being a Monday, they could pour on the Saturday instead. Taking into consideration traffic etc. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders 166Nov 03, 2017 12:21 pm Ezza78 How deep are yours Bri? That’s a good question. I have no idea, lol Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders 167Nov 03, 2017 12:35 pm Progress that you can see, you must be so thrilled Bri. The piers depth will be determined by the boring previously completed and the geo report. Similar to concrete piers with the exception that all your engineering will have been completed prior to today. I love seeing differences in how things are completed but that's just the techo geek in me coming out. I'm so pleased for you that this is moving along and all the admin issues are behind you now. Yay for such good news for you. Your house will be built before you know it.

You won't believe how quick things start to move. I'm hoping that you catch up to us very quickly Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders 171Nov 04, 2017 4:07 pm lol I understand. I've been spending time googling screw piers and slab etc. You are a few weeks ahead of us but then you are also being double story so we might catch up. I was looking on the MySimonds site and I like the look of the approximate dates they have, lol. But I'm being realistic. They are estimates and can change depending on so many things. Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders 173Nov 04, 2017 5:16 pm Ezza78 How long do they think your build will take? Contract has until mid July 2018 The estimated PCI on the website is showing mid March 2018. That would be nice but not betting on it.

Just had a look at the weather forecast - all good for this week - they should pour the slab on Saturday for you that way - which private inspector have you gone with - I have a Simonds just 2 houses before me - and have noted on diary their timing - Oct 13 sit cut - 19 slab - 28 roof trusses 31 - roof tiles - bricks on site on 3/11 - so expecting brickies to commence today follow my build Arden homes Votivo 37 iin south east: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=88622 Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders 179Nov 06, 2017 11:07 am pEast Bri1234 Quick drive by this morning, surprised to see a guy there doing electrical.

SS said everything will be ready Friday for pour on Monday but yeah they might pour on Saturday taking into account weather and traffic etc. We have gone with Houspect Vic for our inspections. SS said that he and they had already been in communication so that is great. I'm just about to call now and confirm. Do Henley have a website for you to keep track of dates etc?
