I guess we were just lucky! Considering I’m building like 10mins away from you and having the same SS. I had a couple of minor issues but nothing like yours. Hope yours gets sorted ASAP. I'm alittle jealous k3nnis to be perfectly honest, we thought we were on a good thing too, but it's just gone down hill in a short space of time. We are still trying to stay positive and hopeful, and if they pull their finger out and actually do the right thing, it will be fine. It's when he says things like 'you won't even notice', or 'it's ALL been done' when it hasn't, is the downer. The house is 98% ready, it's the 2% - specifically in the attention to detail - that's killing us!!

They had some delays with my driveway as my council changed procedures since the merge. So actually we would have moved in a month earlier if that did not happen. He wanted me to move in before driveway and promised it would be done. I said no. I wanted it to be done before handover as I still have the power if I don’t have over the cheque!

The driveway choice was a last minute thing at contract. Reason I went with it was I wanted to move in after handover. Did not want to move in with dirt there.

That's how we're feeling now - in the process of getting quotes so that we can get onto asap. Ours isn't really dirt anymore, it's more like compacted dust - so so dusty!!
