Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 3.0 795Oct 18, 2012 4:13 pm Just got informed our survey will be done tomorrow, followed by the report on Monday (hopes) and 20 'working day' countdown starts. I guess I'll be too hopeful to have roof before xmas break. Most likely just a slab. I'm two minded here. Just not too keen on having bare frames up for 5 weeks, with rain and all. If roof will not make it before the break, I'll rather wait till after the break. I've been told that sometimes M does not go on a long break during xmas. Anyone experience this? Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 3.0 796Oct 18, 2012 4:32 pm Vatche - Good stuff. Our slab was poured around 4.5 weeks ago now. The bricks are 2/3 of the way done and should be finished next week and the roof tiles/fascia and gutters should be done the following week. So all up from slab to roof & bricks complete for us was 7 weeks. Its now around 9.5 weeks to xmas. I reckon you might just squeeze in having your bricks and roof tiles done. M state they have a 5 week industry shut down but I think it will be up to the tradies as I cant see a lot of them taking 5 weeks off. They'd go broke. For us, and going by other peoples timelines, we should be definitely at lock up stage in around 4-6 weeks and have a lot of the internal fit-out done before xmas. I dont think we will see the painting and flooring done until after xmas. It wouldve been great if M installed the roof before the wrap. This wouldve enabled the electrical rough in, insulation and gyp-rocking to get started along with the bricks. Weve lost about 2 weeks because of this error. Oh well....

Ours is two story though, so it might take longer. As long as there is a roof, or short break, I'm fine with it. BTW, my build timeline data collection is getting there. More work than I thought, due to variations if the build is KDR or vacant land etc. Thanks to all the bloggers in advance for the info. Re: Masterton Homes - The new thread 3.0 800Oct 18, 2012 8:06 pm nugget The xmas shutdown was 3 weeks,starting from xmas eve for us That's good.
