See if you can find other Bentley clients on here and ask how long they take to build, it really does seem to depend on the builder and then down to particular supervisors that run the jobs in particular areas. I'm pretty sure I have seen other ppl building with Bentley on here. Site Start: 10th September, 2010 PCI : Friday 27th January, 2011.

I'm pretty sure I have seen other ppl building with Bentley on here. I have done a little digging. The consensus seems to be 5 - 7 months when nothing goes wrong. ![]() Hope that it is, but whatever you do don't lock anything down until you have the keys. The reason for my interest is that the 240 day contract date lands 6 days before my current rental lease ends. It might be very tight. I'm hoping that we're finished in the 5-7 month period so I won't be faced with that situation ![]() Matt's Brando: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46340 Started March 30th 2011 PCI July 15th Re: Contract vs Actual Completion Dates 13Apr 06, 2011 9:44 pm ![]() Talk to the agent and ask if you do go over if the owner is happy for you to go periodical I think I'll have that conversation in about 5 - 7 months time ![]() Matt's Brando: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46340 Started March 30th 2011 PCI July 15th Re: Contract vs Actual Completion Dates 14Apr 06, 2011 10:08 pm ![]() ![]() Talk to the agent and ask if you do go over if the owner is happy for you to go periodical I think I'll have that conversation in about 5 - 7 months time ![]() Dr Matt, look at Poochey's thread, she also build with Bentley and Lostris, their homes were built very quickly and the way ours is going I don't think it will be anywhere near the contracts end dates, much quicker. I can't imagine them getting to lock up in six weeks on ours and then taking another 6 months or more to fit it out. Honestly they are flying, my Sister's friends was also built in around four months. Re: Contract vs Actual Completion Dates 15Apr 06, 2011 10:15 pm Our contract states 260 days which puts us at the end of October, however we are already at lockup (started 2 months ago) and the painters are on-site at the moment. Don't know what that means in terms of how long on average we have to go, but we're looking at earlier than Oct. Our admin has actually confirmed it will be finished prior to October - she's said in a couple of weeks the SS will be able to give her a date and she'll let us know. We are optimistically hoping that they want it done prior to end of financial year but I think realistically we are looking July/August. Fingers crossed, though ![]() viewtopic.php?f=31&t=37229 - our Iris 4!

Good luck with your build. Re: Contract vs Actual Completion Dates 18Apr 07, 2011 5:56 pm ![]() The rain is heading this way for a couple of weeks. My slab is due to be poured on Tuesday. That's looking decidedly unlikely now. We need a drumming fingers smilie.
