Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with Tru Built - Sunshine Coast 60May 19, 2023 8:32 pm Construction day 78 (Week 40) : 19 May 2023 Scaffolding all removed now. Exterior painting has been fully completed on much of the house (First Floor, and rear of Ground Floor). AAA Design finally sent through the engineering for the retaining walls, but it is way off what we were expecting, so will need to change plans (they wanted 1.35m wide footing for 1m high walls, and 1.85m wide footing for 1.5m high walls).

Slow work over the next few days, and apparently on 16 May the builder had decided they were not working out well enough and finished up with them. The builder's main carpenter gang back on site today, 19 May. Overall about 25% of First Floor flooring laid, and about 25% of Ground Floor. At the rate the new gang is going, perhaps 5-6 days of work remaining.
