Re: First home build with Dale Alcock in Aveley: KITCHEN HEL 92Jun 28, 2013 9:03 pm We haven't heard a peep from our CLO in regards to a date for the slab pour so you can imagine our astonishment when the other half drove by the block yesterday evening and saw this: http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag10/pants_de_fancy/build_001_zps2788c870.jpg http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag10/pants_de_fancy/build_002_zpscf72cf7f.jpg We then emailed our CLO who informed us this morning that we were scheduled to have the footings done today (SURPRISE!!) but couldn't confirm a date for the slab pour. Turns out it's been scheduled for Monday (SURPRISE!!). I should be excited but I'm just annoyed as we were intending to have our independent inspector carry out an inspection prior to the slab pour which is now impossible. I'm also a little concerned about the lack of communication coming from DAH. We wouldn't have had any idea this was going on if the other half hadn't decided to drive by on a whim. We have since checked with the bank to make sure the money would be available in time and it turns out our bank knew we were getting a slab before we did as DAH gave them fair warning to have the payment ready! Is it really that hard to send a simple email people? Grrrrr. Anyway, enough whining. Time to focus on the positive. WE'RE GETTING A SLAB ON MONDAY!!!

Re: First home build with Dale Alcock in Aveley: SURPRISE SL 93Jun 28, 2013 9:16 pm Woohoo for slab. But yes that's bad communication Re: First home build with Dale Alcock in Aveley: SURPRISE SL 94Jun 28, 2013 9:25 pm Yay for slab!! Hope communication improves from now Re: First home build with Dale Alcock in Aveley: SURPRISE SL 95Jun 28, 2013 9:52 pm The updates for our build progress (HBC) have been pretty minimal as well. We're always surprised at how far things are progressing when we check out our block. When we ask questions, they're super quick to respond and extremely professional, but not proactive at offering updates before they happen.

Seems to be a complaint no matter who the builder is! Re: First home build with Dale Alcock in Aveley: SURPRISE SL 97Jun 29, 2013 12:23 am Wow! Fantastic news and pics!!!! I can't believe they never told you?? We were handed over to construction this week but not sure who our CLO will be, at what stage did yours first make contact. We were told by the pre-constructin co ordinator site works would start next week with slab couple weeks after that. Impressed about how fast yours has developed!!! Congrats! When did your siteworks start? Looking forward to some slab pics soon Re: First home build with Dale Alcock in Aveley: SURPRISE SL 98Jun 29, 2013 7:43 am I don't think a communicative builder exists, I think if they did they'd have a monopoly on the building market.
Yay! For getting a slab on Monday - so exciting!!! Re: First home build with Dale Alcock in Aveley: SURPRISE SL 100Jun 29, 2013 11:27 am We have had similar issues but as unacceptable as it is this seems to be the way for all the builders. This is why we have to be proactive and visit the Site as much as possible. Fortunately for us, we live close by and it is on the way to everywhere so I visit every day at least twice a day.
