Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building Custom Design with Fairmont Homes - Lewiston SA 19Dec 29, 2015 9:57 pm Haven’t posted in a while as nothing much was happening until the week before Christmas. After we had finally accepted that nothing was going to happen with the build until the new year we were both surprised and very happy to find that the roof and bricks started the Monday before Christmas. The bricks were especially surprising as we were told in November that this was not scheduled until the new year. Both trades were there again today so basically the roof is on and they have started doing the ridge capping and probably about 1/3 of the bricks have been laid. We’re really happy with how things are progressing and the work is looking good. Actually seeing the roof on with the gutters and bricks it now puts my mind at ease that we made the right choices with our external selections. Supreme Kitchens also rang in December and they were drawing up the kitchen ready for manufacture in the new year and I have dropped off our rangehood to them. They didn’t have an install date yet but I’m guessing the kitchen will probably be installed sometime in February. The first fix of the plumbing has been completed and we spoke to the electrician last week to discuss extra work we wanted and they advised that the first fix of the electrical is scheduled for the 13th January. So far we’re really happy with how well the work has been progressing and how good its looking. Given the progress so far we're hopeful that our finish date will be sooner than the end of June. I’ll post some photo’s later of the work completed so far. Re: Building Custom Design with Fairmont Homes - Lewiston SA 20Jan 04, 2016 8:35 am So we visited the build again on Sunday as we wanted to measure a few things up and we were surprised to find that the brickies had been either New Year's Day or Saturday and completed more work! Considering we were told bricking would not start until the new year we're thrilled that probably about half the house is already bricked and I would guess that bricks would be complete within the next two weeks. The roof is also looking complete but there must still be a few small things to do as the roofers still have their equipment there and there are still a few bits and pieces up on the roof.
