So happy to see you progressing well. Thanks Krusade, just cannot wait to see the house finished . I know exactly how you feel. Hang in there because It really is sweet when you get there. All the best! Re: Our Home Journey with BetterBuilt Homes 14May 15, 2018 12:19 pm 15 May 2018: I am sure a lazy blogger Brick work is finished and is looking gorgeous. Roof is nearly finished as well. Building a house is never easy but we feel so pleased to be in good hands. The level of professionalism and assurance under Aaron's supervision is phenomenal. With joy and excitement, here are the picture updates.

We are building 330 m2. Good luck on your construction plans. Re: Our Home Journey with BetterBuilt Homes 17Jun 02, 2018 4:39 pm 2 June 2018: Here is what has gone by in last few weeks. - Lower roof completed - Cladding work in progress - Render work in progress - AC rough-in completed - Inspections completed (I wonder if we will get to see the inspection reports!) We are a bit concerned about the speed of construction and most importantly the level of communication. A new site supervisor has been appointed and we are advised not to directly reach out to SS. We are now receiving weekly emails from backoffice, I would rather prefer speaking with SS once a week, it gives us an opportunity to ask questions and generally get on top of things. Otherwise we are very pleased the way the house selections have gone so far, hopefully render colour and garage sinks-in the overall theme of the house. Here are the picture updates...

As much as we try, we still end-up us obsessing about it. Our new building SS is trying to pull the job up-to speed, it is still a bit annoying that we are not supposed to contact him but it is good to see that the daily updates are flowing timely. It feels like we are so close but yet still a bit far from the final move, there are still a list things to go and we are keeping our fingers crossed for the construction to complete successfully soon. Here is a list of developments from the last update: · Insulation completed · Cladding finished · Gyp-locking and internal wall lining finished · Fit-out delivered (garage door, other doors, skirting etc.) · Fix out carpenter to start this week · Wet areas waterproofing finished · Water tank installed · Cladding Complete · Downlight cut-outs in progress Here are the picture updates… Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Our Home Journey with BetterBuilt Homes 19Jun 27, 2018 4:58 pm mjforeverhome Hi indu, how's the progress of your build? We've just signed with BBH, still in early stages but very excited to finally have selected our builder! Hi mjforeverhome apologies for a delayed response. Congratulations mjforeverhome, I can understand your excitement, choosing a builder is never easy and no builder is perfect. Our experience with BBH is positive so far, there has been a few issues but they do get looked after easily. I personally feel there were a few delays made in our submissions but I know they have made changes in their customer experience department since then. So hopefully it goes a bit faster for your-self. Overall we feel happy with the builder however we are still in the process same as you and we still feel nervous about how the whole thing is going to go. Good luck andhappy building... Cheers, Re: Our Home Journey with BetterBuilt Homes 20Jul 09, 2018 9:20 pm This is a phase of day dreaming, things are taking shape, walls are coming alive, floor has started to look like that beauty we imagined in the colortile studio. This update is a combined after missing a few past weeks:
We have to build $$$retaining wall$$$ as a council condition, hopefully the landscaper should start in another 10 days or so. Any advice on how to ensure the kit home granny flat that im thinking of buying will get council approval. The kit home companys wont release plans without a deposit and… 0 7958 I second taking your plans elsewhere. They're yours (unless you ended up in one of those cheaper arrangements where you don't own the rights and the build will be tendered… 2 798 of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them. I find it odd that lawyers wouldnt be willing to take on the case, given CCT evidence and… 1 24738 |
