Wow, your house look good, but a bit slow. Mine is full brick 2 storey started in August and the builder said it should be finished by February, the contract time frame is April 20.
We are at the roof stage now, and the work is continue 5 days a week so far, weather been good so far!!
I checking on the work almost every 2nd day after work and We never have any problem getting in the site to look, even builder invite in and if anything does not look right we ask builder immediately.
Even the we currently encounter problem with upper floor suspended concrete (in situ type) thickness not even, and try to see why, also we plan to lay solid timber floor on upper level but forgot to tell builder before the upper floor concrete poured, so now have to work with builder to level the wet area so both same level at the end.
Building house is exciting but also headaches at the same time.

Your house look so good with that open space ceiling !!! Mine, I was not account for plumbing work and my house first floor is in situ concrete, so now I loose 30cm to ground ceiling height to 1 of the living room. Wish I knew this when designing the house. Good luck to us with the rest of the work !! But even then, one of our plumbing wastes was dropped below the ceiling level, and had to be fixed. 01 Feb 2017 518 NSW Gold Member 09 May 2019 27 Junior Member Re: New home build - Custom Design WA 116Oct 19, 2019 3:59 pm amilelkaMore plastering was worked on this week, including the plaster float and external render.
