Then cut and fill a few weeks later. when I had a look last week the fence had been removed, this week more clean fill and retaining and fences! ! so excited to see our beautiful new colorbond up and our block leveled and raised!! Slab will be down by 16th April !! awsome birthday present! ! Did anyone do anything to strengthen their slab like keeping it wet for a few days? asking fornit to be left for 2-3 weeks? im not sure weather to bother or not. I think it might cause drama with the schedule...... Also looking at building inspectors eaven though DAH has a great reputation I dont want to risk it we have heard some horror storys! Ill try to upload some pics! DAH Build- Venice Signed Contracts - getting ready for Pre-start Re: Dale Alcock first time Build - House behind a house- 10Mar 28, 2014 3:03 pm Thank you Shannon! now preestart is over everything has been going smoothly. I didn't enjoy the preestart process It was very confusing what was in our range and what was not. It all came together I the end i was happy with my selections. but I didn't like having to make on the spot decisions about accessories and didn't know we had other choices that were not in the showroom. always next build;-) DAH Build- Venice Signed Contracts - getting ready for Pre-start Re: Dale Alcock first time Build - House behind a house- 11Mar 28, 2014 3:14 pm nope can't figure out how to upload photos on my phone... DAH Build- Venice Signed Contracts - getting ready for Pre-start Re: Dale Alcock first time Build - House behind a house- 12Mar 30, 2014 7:32 am seems I spoke to soon. We visited our block yesterday to check on progress. And what do we find. .... they have bloomin well cut down 3 beautiful established non invasive trees that they were pacifically told via email and verbally NOT TO CUT DOWN!!!! Well done guys! !! This is why im awake at 4am! can't sleep very upset! We purchased this peice of land for the feel of it! surrounded by beautiful trees providing nature and shade for our young family........ I don't feel the same about our beautiful block of land now it's just a bit of sand surounded by houses. I will morn the loss of the trees.... Yeah if they stuff up on a build they can fix it but this...... how can you fix it..... well you can't. ... it's going to be on my mind for years when im in our back yard and all I see is the neighbors roof instead of tall beautiful trees.... Any helpful suggestions as to what action to take would be greatly appreciated..... Not that anything will make me feel any better! ! DAH Build- Venice Signed Contracts - getting ready for Pre-start Re: Dale Alcock first time Build - House behind a house- 13Jun 26, 2014 9:19 am How heartbreaking! We're keeping two lovely trees on our block. I'm going to email them right now to ensure they don't get cut down!

They have destroyed your property unlawfully.

Although I never eaven got an apology for the trees being removed when we were told they were not being touched.... anyway things were never good with our customer liaison officer, I spoke to the manager and requested to be allocated a new Customer Liaison Officer, she has been great with thing we ask but defiantly doesn't give info on updates without us asking. Think they all have a huge work load! Our Slab is finally Down!! Better late than never Block looks fantastic!! Huge difference with all the site works! Let the count down begin, fingers crossed to be in in time for Christmas! walls should be going up next week. DAH Build- Venice Signed Contracts - getting ready for Pre-start Re: Dale Alcock first time Build - House behind a house- 16Jun 28, 2014 9:12 pm Congratulations on slab down that is awesome!!! It took us 9.5months from slab down to key handover so I don't know if you will get in that soon but I most certainly hope you do. We had the same thing with our CLO, she never gave us updates and it seemed like you almost have to harass them. Our key handover was with a different CLO to the one we were assigned but she said they each have like 94 clients so not really surprising.

In the contract we have it states that the builders have 6 months from slab down to complete the build, or they are liable to pay our interest to the bank. Just wondering if they tried to get out of this clause? Don't mind if they take a bit longer as long as the clause in the contract is upheld.... Rent is killing us. DAH Build- Venice Signed Contracts - getting ready for Pre-start Re: Dale Alcock first time Build - House behind a house- 19Jun 30, 2014 11:03 am I would double check that contract, I thought ours said the same thing but it said they have 220 working days which is 44 weeks. They don't count public holidays and christmas and stuff like that in there too. We went turnkey as well as we didn't want to deal with anything after handover except window treatments but if you are doing a lot of stuff after handover you might make it in that time. 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: Dale Alcock first time Build - House behind a house- 20Jun 30, 2014 12:51 pm Congratulations on the start of your build.

Best to leave as it is or clean up? Thank you for your thoughts 0 10391 I might be misunderstanding.... but I would be more inclined to cut a section out from the cinder block wall and place the cistern in the cinder block wall.
