Don't worry it will pick up gradually. I know its the most frustrating moments when things doesn't move at the pace we expect. Initially I was also so restless then I thought why should I worry as they have given us a handover date. Now I keep myself calm and cool. Keep posting your construction progress. We all are so keen to look at it. viewtopic.php?t=88952 Re: SANUAKA DOULTON 56 WEMBLEY FACADE MELBOURNE 102Aug 12, 2017 1:33 am Sanuaka These are called Piers if I am not wrong, How many they all together?

We have a lot of bathrooms that's why there is so many of those pipes. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: SANUAKA DOULTON 56 WEMBLEY FACADE MELBOURNE 103Aug 12, 2017 7:29 am I was just as I have no idea because at that stage we were overseas and when we came back slab was already laid. According to the Inspection report they had to put 6 extra piers on top of what they told before. Anyways they know better. Hopefully there is no rain today so that some work can be done. When are they laying slab on your land? viewtopic.php?t=88952 SANUAKA DOULTON 56 WEMBLEY FACADE MELBOURNE 104Aug 12, 2017 3:54 pm Sanuaka I was just as I have no idea because at that stage we were overseas and when we came back slab was already laid.

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We have 60 of them. They dug down deeper. My private inspector checked it out. He reckons they dug even more deeper. He said it looks like metricon are taking no chances. He thought it was really good how deep they went. I think it was nearly 3 metres. I thought piers would be steel beams. But they are concrete piers. He also said it's good that I got fixed site cost with rocks. Cos the rocks would have cost us a fortune. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: SANUAKA DOULTON 56 WEMBLEY FACADE MELBOURNE 105Aug 12, 2017 4:03 pm I also asked my hubby and he said we have around 77 of them.
