Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Hilbert HGWA Build 81Dec 19, 2017 9:28 pm Nice start and great shots. The Hannan bricks are proving to be popular. Re: Hilbert HGWA Build 82Dec 19, 2017 10:01 pm J278 Summitlovin How exciting! LOVE your 2c red brick choice. Who supplied them? (midland brick etc) I chose peninsula Hannan for my red 2c brick They’re from austral bricks and they’re called Hannan as well are you using the same supplier? We love them, Albany cream was not our choice (unpopular opinion) Awesome, i am excited then! I hope they are like yours as mine are from austral bricks as well. I am seeing quite a few red 2c bricks pop up with builds at the moment. I personally was a bit over seeing the cream/limestone bricks everywhere. Re: Hilbert HGWA Build 83Dec 22, 2017 1:28 pm We have just been out to check the progress and to our surprise there were still tradies on site! Went and got them some gatorades and had a brief chat. They’ll be finishing up today and returning on the 11th. Quite a bit more progress this morning, excited to see how much they get done today.

He said that bricks should be finished by the end of the week and the roof chippies have been organised for the end of next week. Things seem to be progressing well. Can’t wait to go out on Sunday!

Re: Hilbert HGWA Build 87Jan 15, 2018 2:53 pm They have been busy since returning, hopefully the weather doesn't stay around too many days, just long enough to help with yesterdays fire. Re: Hilbert HGWA Build 88Jan 16, 2018 10:16 pm The brickies were out today and got quite a bit done. Hoping it doesn’t rain tomorrow 🤞 got an email from HG congratulating us on reaching plate height.. bit early we’re still a few days off that.

Re: Hilbert HGWA Build 92Jan 18, 2018 9:15 pm Our bricks are about 80% complete! Was so exciting walking through the hallways into the rooms.

It’s our rear kitchen wall where the stove will be. It seems the provisions for the stove are in the brickwork.

Have seen those pre-lay pipes in other HGWA houses that have the freestanding stove, maybe GAS and Electrics.

They’ve started on the garage and have put the scullery door in along with some brickwork. Will go out tomorrow after work to see if they’ve done any more, as we received an invoice today for reaching plate height but we are definitely not there yet. Cool shot of the house though! Re: Hilbert HGWA Build 95Jan 19, 2018 11:22 pm Not much fun receiving a invoice knowing that its not 100% done, the joy of progress invoices. Nice drone shot. 😎 Re: Hilbert HGWA Build 96Jan 19, 2018 11:46 pm Our plate high and lock up invoices came early. we didn't pay them for a couple of weeks after. It's the supervisors claiming early to make their number's look better.

Builder has said that they will raise it with my SS but if it is structurally sound (which I don’t doubt it is) then they will leave it. It’s in the alfresco next to my stacker doors and stands out against all the two course Re: Hilbert HGWA Build 99Jan 24, 2018 10:42 am Standard construction methods for most builders. mine actually start with a 1c brick at the bottom of the wall to avoid that. Baffles me how other builders haven't picked up on it yet... Find my build thread here: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=88694&f=31&p=1729530#p1729530 Thank you so much everyone.
