Cheers, Ebony Thanks Ebony Slab has been poured and framing to start next Tuesday. Bricks continue to be delayed, latest date is Jan 30th, my new BC keeps me in the loop. She has given me an address where the Kooyong has been used so hopefully will check out this weekend.

Plumbers are back and have completed our roughing in plumbing and bricks have been on site for a week - I hope they start the bricks tomorrow or Monday. I guess we will email the BC on Monday and ask for an update.

Congratulations in advance! Hey Rups, do you know if they're going to wait for the bricks or are they going to do an inside out build?

Hey Rups, do you know if they're going to wait for the bricks or are they going to do an inside out build? They / we are going to wait. The problem is that because the brick is not from their offered range (explain to me how only 4 of the 5 Elements range bricks Austral make are offered!) our BC did say at the time of confirming that PD will let us use it, that any delays caused by the brick not being available in Jan will result in delays being claimed against the contract (i.e. they will push out the build handover date by the delays incurred by non-availability), and if the delays are excessive (i.e. March / April), then penalty interest will be applied - we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. We're okay with the contract being delayed, and assuming Austral have bricks in the first week of Feb, then PD may claim ~2 weeks. Not interested in an inside out build. Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 14036 I would never build with Fowler homes.
