Pretty annoying when these little hiccups occur but good to hear they got things back on track, how do you stuff up a soil test I wonder? Keep us updated on the site start, if you start end of June then you should be able to move in by the end of the year, yippee! Dreamhomemummy Congratulations! YAY that's fantastic you have a site start date, and not too far away too! The patience has paid off and soon you will be able to see the fruits of your labor Looking forward to seeing the progress! Not a lot happening on site for us the last couple weeks, more bricks have been delivered and the scaffold is completely up, gutters have been installed and more bricks delivered, a few have been put on the scaffold late last week so looks like they will be bricking the rest of the house next. Hopefully the roof isn't too far off, hate seeing the frame sitting in the wet for so long, already lot's of mouldy spots on the wood Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Mouldy spots... that can't be good!!!! Have you had any independent inspections ? Re: Modified Burbank Indigo 5100 in Grandvue Officer 249Aug 26, 2017 11:28 pm Went and had a look at the house today to see how things were going, and we have plaster! The plasterers were actually on site finishing off the final touches so it's all done, except for a small section in the garage which can't be done until the roof is on Pretty excited cos I've been told the next step is kitchen and stairs, woohooooo It's taken just over 5 months from site cut to get to this point, which is pretty good I think, hopefully it will be another 2~3 months before handover so they've made pretty good time with all things considered. Pretty sure we'll be in before Xmas, which is good cos hubby's family from Norway are coming to visit and we have nowhere for them to stay in our rental!

I am assuming it could? Wonder how much it would cost , i asked burbank if they could render our cladding but the answer was no because we signed the contract that way and even though we are at frame stage it was still a no. Your house is coming along very well. Re: Modified Burbank Indigo 5100 in Grandvue Officer 251Aug 28, 2017 3:59 pm Hey dreamhomemummy, don't think cladding can be rendered, but i'm no expert! Worst case scenario I guess you could just take the cladding off and then render over that?

Re: Modified Burbank Indigo 5100 in Grandvue Officer 253Sep 11, 2017 9:19 pm Went and had a peek this last weekend and the kitchen cabinets and stairs have been installed All the doors are in as well as all the skirts and window arcs on the lower level. It's starting to look more and more like a house and we're beyond excited to see the final touches! There seems to be a slight problem with our kitchen island tho, we had specifically asked for there to be no overhang on the island - I just hate the look and having young kids running around they're prone to smacking themselves on the stone corners made it a big no no. We had a long conversation with the color studio when we visited and also our CRO before we signed our final contracts and was assured that there would be no overhang (a variation was added to our contract that 1200mm laminate end panels were to be used on the island) even tho on the drawings there was a 200mm overhang (which is standard). She assured us that even tho the drawings were not correct they had added notes to the drawings so everything would be fine. Well looks like they've missed the note on the drawings and there is a 200mm overhang! Am meeting with our SS Wednesday to have a chat about it and hopefully we will sort something out.

Nice windows too spacious. Re: Modified Burbank Indigo 5100 in Grandvue Officer 255Sep 13, 2017 2:25 pm Thanks dreamhomemummy, we had the doors put in to help keep noise and heating/cooling in, only to find out we'll need to leave it open in order for the heating/cooling to run properly lol. Whoops, guess it'll work for noise still. Had a meeting with our supervisor Brad today, he asked me to email our CRO and ask her to order the correct end panels for our island so hopefully there won't be a huge delay because of it. The waterproofing and fixings have now all been completed, the garage roof finally gets installed tomorrow, and the painters will start next week, and it will take around 2 weeks. After painters the tilers will come through and that will take a couple weeks as well, but the tilers wont be able to start unless the kitchen island issue is fixed first, so hopefully the panels come in quickly and it doesn't cause too much of a delay, but in all honesty I'm not liking my chances. The SS said hopefully he can finish by mid to late Nov and we can have handover sometime in Dec. Fingers crossed we make it before xmas!

Hope that your kitchen island will be sorted out real soon, surely it will all work out. We are looking forward to seeing roof tiles and bricks next month. Love your windows and corridor.
