All internal first fix is now complete, I made some minor adjustments to some things on the fly and had the Chippy and Plumber back in. Aircon ducting, full first fix electrical, plumbing and now roof all done, with the exception of a few panels going on tomorrow. Then by the end of this week it’s insulation and linings going on. Gas install (new services) happening on the 1st and power is now connected. Had the retaining and fencing contractor out this afternoon to go over some things and excited to see render for on the ground facade in the next couple weeks also so we can get driveway & perimeter concrete (exposed ag) done and then fencing. My diary is only heaps full every day... but really loving it. 🥰 Edited 28/09/20 07:47 AM by Mrs Jeturbo 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm flat out getting upset because they charge me 20 cents for sauce. ☹ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know of anybody who's been ahead of schedule on a home build 99% of the time the builder is making excuses why things are taking so long 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I make an effort to go on site every day to either meet with trades or double check everything so there’s two sets of eyes on things and I’m there for consultation. Cuts out any confusion and let’s me oversee things. Matty (my site supervisor) has just been amazing and we bounce off each other really well, which is awesome, because you’re right, normally people just use excuses, but he’s appreciative of all the help I’ve been also, so we have a mutual respect. Making changes to plans on the fly is also something most home builds don’t get to go through without major issues and expense, so I appreciate I can just go on site as required and make changes and calls on things and he will call me if he needs me to decide on something and click of the fingers and it’s done.
