You won't believe it, the construction start right after the land settlement, i always thought that they need a few weeks to prepare, but they don't.. the site cut started 2 days after the settlement, then the water tap installed, then the temp toilet delievered...etc.. i spoke to Kevin the other day, he said he has been doing a lot of inspection in Point Cook area, so i think he should be able to fit you in.. i found it more easy to get hold of him in the morning / around 9am But he is quite busy i guess, i still haven't received the report yet... Per my previous post, i have an electrican doing the setup for me, quite expensive though, i hope it is worth... Once the optic fabic is made available, i still need to get an electrican (properly go with the estate contractor) to do the connection, so will be another cost later too Blog - http://clageonewhouse.blogspot.com/ Building Thread - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=10886&hilit=milan I am in, with my husband and my beautiful bunny Re: Our Milan - update after handover 20Nov 21, 2008 6:13 pm claego Hi Dreamhome You won't believe it, the construction start right after the land settlement, i always thought that they need a few weeks to prepare, but they don't.. the site cut started 2 days after the settlement, then the water tap installed, then the temp toilet delievered...etc.. i spoke to Kevin the other day, he said he has been doing a lot of inspection in Point Cook area, so i think he should be able to fit you in.. i found it more easy to get hold of him in the morning / around 9am But he is quite busy i guess, i still haven't received the report yet...

My understanding when i spoke to M is that i can't finalise the contract until the soil tests are done. And soil tests can't be done until land is ready and they are sure there is no more sewage/electrical/water works that are going to take place on the land. Do you know when your soil tests were done? Was it before land settlement? I can't choose my tiles or have my electrical appointment until all this happens. Also, they mentioned that they can't apply for the building permit until the land settles. So i am wondering how your builder did it as it can't take 2 days to get a building permit. Aparently it takes about 3-4weeks to get all the paperwork done and approved. Maybe i am getting it wrong then or is M doing it differently..? Thanks for the tip about calling Kevin early in the morning, i will try this. Did you call him before or after your land settled? Regarding fibre optics, the last time i spoke to the developer, they said that they are not sure which contractor they are going to use for the fibre optics. I am still waiting for more information regarding this. I thought that the fibre optics installations would have to be done during construction and cannot be done after handover as a conduit needs to be installed and a meter be placed in the garage for it... Again, not sure if i am getting this right as there is not much information around regarding this. M does not allow any other contractors on site while they are building anyway so if i can do it after handover, it will be great! I amazed your builder allowed another electrician to come on site while they are building, i think most builders don't... It's great that yours accepted as you probably will get better value for money when you use your own electrician. Like you said they also explain everything to you.. Good luck with your build and keep the photos coming yes it does, you've just not understood it. theres a difference. 4 5329 Your house should come in "as new" condition.
