It will be interesting to see when we both finish up. I reckon they will push yours through and get it done before Christmas. @Madora Dreamer Re: New build with Redink Madora Bay 156Nov 14, 2017 11:43 pm ct@ri Madora Dreamer In the contract the slab should be laid within 45 working days from prestart so counting down! Hi Madora Dreamer, it's good to see you're getting excited, and I hope our Team are looking after you. I just wanted to clarify the 45 working days you mentioned above. The Contract normally requires Redink to commence works within 45 days of the latest of a number of dates. These include -
I know the team will be working to get your home under construction as soon as possible (we both benefit from this), and 45 working days from your Prestart meeting is often achievable, but not always. For example, some councils can take 3 months to complete a planning approval, which would usually result in delays getting to site that we have no control over. I'm not sure the Contract requires (or suggests) a slab should be down within 45 days of the Prestart meeting, but I'm happy to be corrected on this. My understanding is it requires us to commence work (which normally means earthworks commence) within 45 days of all requirements being met, and all approvals being received. I look forward to following your journey, and helping out in any way I can (just ask ). Regards, Chris Hi CT Almost at the end of the build, by Xmas hopefully. My build has been smooth and enjoyable, so you have upheld your end of the deal @Madora Dreamer Re: New build with Redink Madora Bay 157Nov 14, 2017 11:51 pm So exciting! Glad to hear things have been going so well! So jealous! My slab was laid in April and its looking iffy if we'll be in my Xmas. We've been stalled for about 2 months now Good luck with the race to the end! Re: New build with Redink Madora Bay 158Nov 15, 2017 4:59 pm Got an update today. Still no date for PCI . My shower screens, aircon and mirrors all to be installed this week and the paving will be completed. Painting will continue for the next couple of weeks. Surely that must be it then! All plumbing, gas and electrical fit outs are completed. @Madora Dreamer Re: New build with Redink Madora Bay 159Nov 16, 2017 7:10 pm Quick photo update Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ paving finished Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ aircon in Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ front path finished Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ @Madora Dreamer Re: New build with Redink Madora Bay 160Nov 17, 2017 5:35 pm Looking really good! I love what they've done with your pavers.... might see if I can steal that idea! Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense.
