It has been ages since I posted - partly because our epic journey that has been our build started to get me down, and also when I did jump on here to check what was going on I became totally overwhelmed by the hundreds of posts I had to catch up on! I am happy to say that I am now up to date on posts and really happy to see everyone's progress! And also a big welcome to the new members - wishing you all a stress free and speedy build! So a quick update of where we're at: we finally have a PCI date! Woohoo! 7th August, making it a a whopping 48 weeks since the start of construction!! Somehow, Wisdom has claimed 59 days (3 months!) of contract extension which means they won't back pay us. Has anyone asked for a breakdown of what is included in the days over? We really don't care at this point, we just want to get in. And I doubt they'd write 'incompetence' as a reason! Lol! Anyway, apart from the original issues we had with the incorrect facade plan being built, we also had tiles run out that took forever to source, incorrect placement of AC vents that needed to be moved and patched up, balcony rendered in the incorrect colour, stairs stained incorrectly, just to name a few. There is still work to be completed ie. carpet, caulking, etc. but we're getting there.

It is better than a display home. So happy to hear you have a PCI date but honestly, it's taken them a year, they can not claim 59 days in rain and Xmas shutdown, surely?! I think that's mega cheeky. I hope your beautiful home is worth all the anguish it's caused. Can not wait to see it finished, and your pool!
