Re: Burns Build-Dale Alcock - Bricks !! 135Aug 20, 2013 11:58 pm Unfortunately all quiet on our block Over 5 weeks since slab was laid .... Re: Burns Build-Dale Alcock - Bricks !! 137Aug 21, 2013 12:16 pm Hi Tbrown. Just thought I'd find out where everything is at with your build. I received an update from your CLO saying that after the slab was left to cure for 7 – 10 days. the drains then have to be installed and connected to the sewer before the brickie's can start. So she said that there have been works going on, but not work that makes a big visual difference. The bad weather affected and delayed the brickies work for yours and many other homes annoyingly... but they're back in the swing of things this week and will be due to commence set out on your site next week. Best regards, Jemima. +Tbrown2012 Unfortunately all quiet on our block Over 5 weeks since slab was laid .... Dale Alcock Homes. We love building.

Yes everything was going great guns in the first few weeks - we live nearby so could see progress and deliveries happening. And then the rains came...... Just feels a little frustrating to see a number of slabs around us laid weeks after ours and they have walls! Unfortunately I understand it cant be helped. CLO has been keeping us informed which is great and advised the team is due on site the end of this week. Fingers crossed. Re: Burns Build-Dale Alcock - variations fee ? 139Aug 26, 2013 4:48 pm Yay! The brickies officially started today! It was raining but they were there - 6 weeks exactly from when slab was laid. It was great to see action at the block and now the excitement is back on track !! I had a chat to our CLO last week when she called to set up an appointment with our SS and I asked if we could potentially change the carpet colour we had chosen. I thought at this stage there may be a variation fee but didnt quite expect it to be $300! Just wondering any other Dale Alcock builders out there if you have had any changes of this type and what the variation fee was? Thanks T Re: Burns Build-Dale Alcock variation fee ? 140Aug 26, 2013 5:39 pm We wanted to change our internal doors at one stage but were told it was too late. We did upgrade our bathroom benches but im not sure if we weren't charged a variation fee or if it was incorporated into the upgrade cost. Probably the latter. $300 is ridiculous but I have seen on here another builder charges $500!
