Otherwise things could be taken or the weather will be on them. I am sure they will be delivered and put up very soon. I know ours came in two days and then bottom put up and top was another two days later. I wouldn't hassle your SS over something small like a day delay, no doubt other things are being done like connecting the water or electricity. They generally have about 16+ houses on the go at one time so I doubt they really know what's going on at each site on each day a lot of the time. In my opinion they are more like a liaison between the customer and the suppliers it not like they are watching it being built and what each trade are doing. Re: Building our dream home Aspiration 29 with Wisdom Homes 119Mar 27, 2013 2:43 pm mtjiputra, I got the impression from reading this H1 forum some time ago that concrete slab would need to [wet] cure for 3 - 4 weeks to achieve close to max strength. During the curing, walking on it & installing timber frames are okay I think, but NOT running machinery or placing brick pallets on it, or bricking the external walls, or putting roof tiles... Have a search & read if you're interested So don't stress if you don't have frames yet. You have 1.5wks or more to have it done before heavy load is recommended to be placed on the slab.

Didn't mean to high jack your thread.. i'll start up my own soon.. hopefully you guys can instill some of your knowledge onto me! I've learnt more about real estate/home construction this past week than i have in my life so far! i hope the sun over the next few days leads to clear skies construction wise! Np ssjmark, feel free to post any questions, i'm sure someone on here can help A bit dissapointed today as frames weren't delivered as said. Will ring our SS tomorrow. Its a shame these couple of clear days was wasted To be honest you need to be a little prepared for things to not go to plan, we had issues with our bricks which cost us about 2-3 weeks also tilers came in and did half the job on ground level and left for the week, we had rain the following week so lost another 2 week there. Sometimes the SS can't do much about it as some contractors are hired by suppliers and not by Wisdom. Good thing to do is be nice and understanding to your SS as they will put more effort in for you. At present we are finding that we have about 2 things going at once by our SS to get the house finished. Just be prepared to be let down sometimes during the build and rest assured that things will happen in due course Onewheel, When are we going to see some more finished photos of your house on the blog Can someone please offer some advice?
