The top sheets have started to be fixed on the 1st floor external building.
There is some delivery of internal doors, vanity cupboards, butlers and kitchen cabinets.

Week 12 update
According to our site manager Render to the top floor nearly done.
Cabinets installed in the kitchen, butlers, bathrooms.
Our neighbour said the outside windows have some foil covering it. Not sure what that is but possibly put to get ready for render.
Anyone knows what normally gets done next?
Lock up invoice received but externals are not yet finished so will check what the process is as the bank need confirmation from Ms inspectors that the stage is complete.

The slab invoice is still with CBA. My broker really made a mess of submitting the invoice n not following up with CBA on what is outstanding. Going to complain as its not acceptable. We have now received the frame invoice but have not yet received the group 4 frame completion stage report. Drew did you get this from Group 4 before you made the payment. Our BSC advised that group 4 are doing a re inspection tomorrow of the frame and will then finalise n send through their report which we can then forward to the bank.
Only just found this, we paid within terms for all invoices so far, as there was no reason not to, and our SS had rectified anything found in the reports almost before they were found.
For frame, we paid the report arrived the day after I paid.
I think I posted elsewhere that I have a pretty good handle on reading people, and believe our SS is there to achieve the best outcome for us. So far he's proven me correct.
We're also firm in the belief that if Metricon we building terrible houses, they'd be out of business, and struggling to get trades to want to work for them, yet we've observed the opposite. All the tradies I've met (everyone except the air conditioning company) all love working with our SS

Lock up will be percentage completion based. Have they plastered inside yet? That's normally in fixing, on percentage, if it's done, then they've reached a milestone.

Just ensure all of your walls are square. We have heard many times from people that M have a bad rep for building walls out of square.

not as bad a reputation as Urban Edge!! I was talking to the cabinetry installers yesterday, and the husband was saying that our walls are amongst the straightest he's seen. He said they did our neighbour across the road, and they had to cut custom packers all through the house to make the cabinetry fit, and that it their consistency is such that he stopped installing kitchens and bathrooms for them as it was too much work, and money lost to make everything fit

An update...the new SM has provided some updates on errors that need to be fixed after his walk through with his QA boss. He listed things like some bloating in bathroom walls that need to be fixed, the brick outside a window needs to be taken out and re bricked, the waterproofing needs to be done on balcony and portico and some of the outside mortar to be redone as there are some gaps n holes in some places. He still got the go ahead for painting of the rest of the house. Brickies will be revisiting next week to sort some of those issues with the bricks and mortar.
