Sharing our build journey photos as a caution to others building with Coral.
This was our second build with Coral, the first was 5 years ago and was pretty good.

Still painting, tiler should be working.
Apparently getting driveway tomorrow even though we asked to have it removed right at the start.... yet another thing they haven't got right. It…

No tiling this week as initially planned, tiler pulled out so SS has to find a new one and this will affect more than just our build.
Painting will still start…

Some updated photos as well.

We ended up going through the electrician due to how hard coral tries to keep you off site.

We are currently bricking for 8 days with an entire side to go plus bits and pieces.

Update:
We ran into light switches problems. Electrician just moved them to alternate locations from plan.
So even if you are told they fit they won't install them there, they moved Bedroom…
