Very frustrating.

I have reported a data problem to google for my house and in general for Calleya. Hopefully we will see the houses and streets in coming days. There are maps maintained by Cockburn council, search your address. http://intermaps.cockburn.wa.gov.au/intramaps70/ApplicationEngine/Application.aspx?project=Cockburn& If you wish to add your house on google map you can do it by going to google maps on web > click Send feedback(located at the bottom) > report data problem. Select approximate location of your house and submit.

They've completed an amazing amount of work in the past 3 weeks. Roof has been completed Front Rendering complete Internal Float (grey render) complete Ceilings complete (almost) Cornices complete White Set complete (almost) I believe lockup will go ahead this week, and cabinetry should start being installed. At last update, i should be in by February next year due to the delays with Christmas. Annoying, but at least there's progress and i would prefer it done properly than rushed to be in before. And now for some pictures! (Apologies in advance as there's quite a few!)

The roof looks lovely and I have portico envy! Your house looks so spacious with the white set - and gosh the raked ceiling is FANTASTIC! I see they've fixed the niches too. Did they have any excuses for why there has been so many delays? Fingers crossed they'll keep up the pace now Re: Take Two - Calleya - Roof Complete now for more waiting 677Nov 14, 2015 10:29 pm MalSannie Wow elemist I'm so pleased for you that they're at last making some good progress on your build.

Did they have any excuses for why there has been so many delays? Fingers crossed they'll keep up the pace now Hey MalSannie! I'm quite chuffed with how the portico turned out. Was a bit of a risk changing from the displayed version to something i couldn't physically go see, but i think it worked out for the best. Not really, i don't think there was any acceptable excuses they could use. Basically admitted they had dropped the ball, put a little bit of blame on my SS who left, and the temporary one after that. But new supervisor has been on the case for a few weeks rapidly booking things in, and also have a new CLO in the office who seems a little more on top of things. It's only been abotu 3 weeks now, but i think they've done more work in those 3 weeks than they have in the entire 7 months of construction. Time will tell if they can keep up the progress, fingers crossed! Re: Take Two - Calleya - Roof Complete now for more waiting 678Nov 18, 2015 11:06 pm WOW elemist, it's really coming along now. I love the portico and that ceiling OMG! It's going to look AMAZING when it's all done. Our first build - Calleya - HGWA viewtopic.php?t=76894 Re: Take Two - Calleya - Roof Complete now for more waiting 679Nov 20, 2015 7:07 pm Hi neighbours ! Not sure where to post this question. I'm wondering if anyone else happens to have a break down of their BAL costs? Mine seems to be too high but I don't know why. This is for a 450sq block. BAL 12.5. 1) Provide spark guards to masonry weep holes $453 2) Upgrade flyscreens to conforming mesh to aluminium windows and sliding doors $554 3) Provide full sarking and gap sealing material to roof, including provision of spark guard conforming mesh to roof (flume) vents. Delete 2x eaves vents $6462 4) Provide flame retardant brush seals to sectional garage door (includes 13mm vertical & 19mm header) $1379 Total = $8848. Most people I speak to seemed to have paid around 6k. Plus I paid another $3000 for the 6.38mm glass but I think that was fairish.
