C.S. Lewis Re: Building in Brooks Reach 78Apr 11, 2013 8:27 pm Hi everyone! Hope you're all well. It was so nice to meet Wiz and Nat at the Stockland thing (though I feel like that event went reallllllly long and didn't really apply to many of us there in the room.) External drainage and stormwater things were meant to happen on site yesterday, we've had beautiful weather so hopefully things have been moving along. Frames are due to be delivered on the 18th and will take around three days to go up apparently. We had a slight scare with our bank/broker this week as our bank only released the payment right before close of business ON THE 7th DAY!!! But that all got sorted. *phew* Not sure if anyone had given much thought to the Independent Inspector thing but hubs and I have decided on a company we're going with. I posted about a few companies, their prices and what they offer here on my blog if anyone is interested http://rubyam.wordpress.com/2013/04/11/ ... our-build/ (that way I'm not clogging up the Thread!!) But we decided to go with HnK Ryan. Hoping to head out to the site on Saturday morning and determine if there is progress to be seen. -Rubyam Re: Building in Brooks Reach 79Apr 12, 2013 3:17 pm yay, just got word that our contract should exchange tomorrow!

Lewis Re: Building in Brooks Reach 80Apr 12, 2013 3:24 pm Hey Ruby - it was lovely to meet you both as well (I mean you and hubby, as I already know Nat )! It did go for a while on Saturday didn't it?! But my girls got a photo with Phil & Amity and we got food, so we were happy! Not sure about the independant inspector, if we ever get to that point (sigh, see rant below!) we probably will. Congratulations Joh + Lach!! How exciting for you guys! Now I'm going to vent a little! I am getting soooooo frustrated with the slowness of everything at the moment. I'm not sure if BW check this forum out, I'm imagining they do, so they may know who I am! We are waiting on a report from the engineers regarding the sewer, that's it. Been waiting nearly three weeks now, which is absolutely ridiculous. Once we get that report, we sign the contract and do the colour selections, then off and running, the build will finally start. But omg.....feels like I am moving in super slow motion! Or more to the point BW are moving in super slow motion I don't want to get cranky, but it is fairly obvious that my expectations are not even remotely the same as BW's, and that is the part that annoys me. I like knowing what's happening, what's next and how long (even approximately is good!) things are going to take! And I'm not getting that. Driving me nuts!! (I have discovered that I am a little bit of a control freak and am hating having absolutely no control over this ) Vent over Wiz Wiz Built @ Brooks Reach Built the Verdelho Guest with Beechwood Hi, Apologies - I know there is plenty out there on this but struggling to put together the puzzle. We're planning our garage/external laundry to master bedroom and… 0 10925 Thanks for your reply. I will just wait and see I guess. Trying to get some more information from our builder. 9 30235 |
