Just waiting for the report to come back now so I can send through to the builder. We've had a bit of rain but the driveway and batters are holding up well, no sign of any damage. A little pooling at the bottom of the second driveway, which we'll keep an eye on.

Painter identified an issue with the colour we had chosen, saying that with the 1 coat of primer and 2 top coats, that the paint would be too thin unless we added some more tint. Looks like the builder didn't question our colour choice during selections, but now talking to the Interior Designer, she assumed that the builder would be doing at least 2 coats of primer, and preferably 3 top coats. I've let the builder know they need to question these things going forward to avoid a poor customer experience.

Have engaged Suncoast Building Approvals to assist with the approvals for the front yard retaining wall, which is proving complicated.

Fwiw no build goes perfectly and it looks like there's been a heap of really positive outcomes and a few niggles. This kitchen cabinets look sensational. I've had a good experience with that company on some bathroom cabinets too.
