I bet they will say that the suppliers are giving them trouble... We met with our builder today. There have been some supply issues but basically he said there has been 2 months worth of family drama, his site supervisor having cancer also and hes just been flat out. He said basically theres two houses of his that have fallen behind and thats us and another couple. He does feel really bad about it, and he said being a double storey doesn't help. He said there that we won't be in before Christmas (which is fine - I can't take leave in Dec/Jan so its better for me this way) but we will be looking at Late Jan- Early Feb for handover. The kitchen sink he ordered for us has come in with a huge fracture and its a 4 week wait for a new one. The first drop of the cabinetry for the kitchens/bathrooms/laundry were faulty pattern so it has all had to be reordered. These will be finally going in this week or next. He said they were all made and ready to go he just has to organise delivery. They are going to do the cabinets, then the tiling/flooring then the painting. I assume this will all be done before xmas shut down. They will also be doing the driveway this week or next also, again issues with the supplier. The colour we picked is no longer made so we had to pick a new colour (which is fine because i'd changed my mind lol) Re: First Home - Custom Design in Ipswich - WEEK 25 213Nov 20, 2017 5:55 pm Peter112 You had such a good start, don't know what happened to them now.
