Building a jgking belva

yep it was a fairly flat block!! still got stung a bit on site costs, needed a few piers in the slab etc.. it is amazing how much a big tree on the block next door can affect things!

Yep! How did u know? 😂

Nah ours is D something. That's great to hear it has all gone smoothly for you. Which plan are you building?

Slab is down.

we were told normally 7 week wait.

however some-one accidentally ordered our by mistake months early so was delivered a couple days after slab and installed the following week.

If you drive around shepparton there is just so many JG homes going up I can see why the delay.

7 weeks is absurd! It wasn't that long ago that they would have them delivered the week after slab and put up straight away. We were told 2 weeks with framers to start onsite the day after, this blew out to 3 weeks for delivery and a month before they started erecting. Took them 3 weeks to get it finished. I think we were right at the start of the factory not keeping up, it seemed to get much worse after us. I was hoping they had found a way to get back on track by now.

They really need to find a way to fix the problem they have with frame supply. Losing a month of every contract to waiting for a frame to be delivered must be hurting them.

Yes it's incredibly frustrating. We weren't warned either. If it wasn't for our last couple of SS speeding things up a bit we would still be nowhere near finished. I still wouldn't be surprised if we're not in by Christmas.

It pays not to think about the rent and the extra interest, the build is stressful enough .
