I understand that building is never easy and there are bound to be problems. I am however frusstrated at the lack of expertise and knowledge I encountered from many of the NBG staff. Though my experience, I had to do most of the work and they still got it wrong, and I would have to keep repeating myself and checking their work until they finally did their job right. I don't blame my builder so much, I think NBG have assigned him too much work and he can not cope with the workload. On the positive side my slab has finally gone down! After speaking with consumer affairs and sending letters to my builder for breach of contract, I finally got some action. Let's see how things progress from here. You must be very excited being so close to completion!! I'm sure you can't wait to move in. I would love to see some pics of the finished product.
