I am hoping that the carpenters were just laying the stuff out... I didn't actually go over and try and move the wood... which is possible, maybe it will make it easier when they start after the long weekend... I guess time will tell...

I'm not sure how long they should wait before building on it, but I guess 2 days is enough... waldorfgrange https://waldorfgrange.wordpress.com/ Wow two days seems a bit rushed.

I did go and walk on the slab and none of the wood had been fixed to the slab so it must have just bees roughing it out... However come Monday they were hard at it... they have mostly completed the bottom storey and have used some very large metal beams for support which is reassuring, I think...

So how long in the end between when concrete was pored and they began drilling into it?

So how long in the end between when concrete was pored and they began drilling into it? 6 days, however I believe that it would have been more like 3 if we didn't have the public holidays in he middle... how did your land settlement go? Was it super exiting getting notice that now the land is finally yours? Any indication from PD as to when they might start?

Was it super exiting getting notice that now the land is finally yours? Any indication from PD as to when they might start? Yes land settlement went through smoothly. We also had to pay a $900 'Community and Infrastructure Levy' to the local council before they will issue any building permits. PD won't start as we have not signed the contract. We want a physical termite protection barrier not chemical protection and we have been waiting since August for them to confirm that is possible. It says "physical or chemical" in the existing contract but they always default to the chemical protection. We'd like confirmation we will get the physical and that is holding up the signing of the contract. Darbecca also said don't sign contract unless you have the post contract variation there at the same time (as many errors were spotted at our contract appointment but they wouldn't change the contract). So we are still waiting for the post contract variation to be presented to us with the contract so we can sign and proceed. Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 12320 We spent close to 2 years in a process with TA. It was horrible..... we got to tender, and the first cut was 50% over our budget which "they care such about meeting ". We… 18 27185 Thanks for your reply. I will just wait and see I guess.
