I know our SS is trying but the roofing company they use is a disaster. Any ideas who I contact to find out how many rain days etc there has been? We are currently in week 37 so this set back will put us back. Do they count Christmas shutdown when they are over time? I am away for work at the moment and don't have our contract with me. We are in exactly the same boat! At week 37 out of what should be a 40 week build and been told we are only around half way into our build. We are all ready for insulation and gyprock but that won’t be started for another week. Tradies unavailability has been our biggest issue but this latest 4 week delay has been caused by our independent inspection which found multiple problems. We have been told that the Xmas 2017/18 shutdown (3-4 weeks) will not be added to the build length, I think that’s unfair. There is a calculation they use but can’t remember what that is. Our contract says we should be told when rain delays happen but we haven’t been told of any and we had a lot in March and April this year. I’m aiming for an Easter finish that way any earlier will be a bonus!

We are building in South West Sydney near Oran Park. Hope your build gets going and they catch up on some of the time lost! It certainly is a roller coaster of emotions I never considered it would be like this! Re: Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 MK1 St George Area NSW 95Oct 20, 2017 5:49 pm Looking great fee. My very favourite kitchen design is in the Balmoral. Love this design! Re: Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 MK1 St George Area NSW 96Oct 20, 2017 8:45 pm Hi Fee, just a question. How are Rawson protecting your stairs as the builders move up and down the levels? Do they cover them at all? Looking fab by the way!
