Re: Construction Stage | BRICKS 5Apr 04, 2018 7:54 am Sounds like a terrible estimating team. We are also having PFH bricks but ours have been delayed by close to 4 weeks because the bricks weren’t being made properly. Apparently they should be arriving to site tomorrow and starting on Monday. I can’t remember which thread it was on but someone else also said they had a brick delay because the PFH bricks were coming out curved from the kiln viewtopic.php?f=31&t=89059 The fastest thing a builder will do is bank your cheque, those systems work perfectly with lightning speed, everything else is slow burn.
