Re: DAH 6 months build time 10Oct 03, 2013 11:51 pm Thanks Tracyw, I can't understand it myself. There is nothing written in the contract it's just been omitted, there is no agreement from us to omit it, so it's like it never existed in the first place. I got the standard response that it's void due to the client providing their own materials, nothing more of an explanation. Very frustrating. I really do hope that we don't need it either. what is worrying me is that surely they know that brickie A is busy until X and brickie B is busy until Y, therefore the next available brickie for us should be available on or around Z. (You can tell I do a lot of planning in my job! ) But they refuse to give me an approx date which makes me think it's a lot further away than they would like to tell me. It's 9 weeks tomorrow since the slab went down.

She said they haven't even scheduled our brickies yet so it could be much, much longer than a month. In our contract it says 220 days but where in the contract does it say DAH will pay $400 a week? I couldn't find that bit. https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64434 Building our own custom design based on the Elwood by Dale Alcock Land settled - November Plans submitted to council - January Prestart - March Slab - 18 September Brickies - 23 October Re: DAH 6 months build time 12Oct 10, 2013 9:01 am navs 4 weeks since slab down today and our CLO said we will be waiting at least a month for brickies.

I couldn't find that bit. Hi navs, we couldn't find it in our contract so had to ask where it was, that's when they told me it was void because of the kitchen handles being supplied directly by us. I don't expect any movement now for another 4 weeks and it's 10 weeks tomorrow that the slab went down, seriously unhappy but absolutely nothing we can do about it. I've not had an update this week as I am assuming they don't want to tell me again that there is no news and no movement.

Really sucks for all of us DAH builders 10 weeks is a long time to wait, I would contest the kitchen handles thing, that is the most ridiculous thing I've heard. https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64434 Building our own custom design based on the Elwood by Dale Alcock Land settled - November Plans submitted to council - January Prestart - March Slab - 18 September Brickies - 23 October Re: DAH 6 months build time 14Oct 10, 2013 12:19 pm I really feel for u guys. We waited 7 weeks for our bricklayers and I thought that was painful enough. Just hang in there, once bricks start you will see progress all the time! My build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64437 This certainly doesn't look good. I would be engaging with an independent inspector to have a look at this.
