They've admitted it's not on the plan.
Politely respond you sign and accepted as per the DA and expect the plans to be followed.
Go higher if you need to (don't know…

It's likely they didn't cut the site enough, or as paid for, because any retaining wall over 1m needs to be engineered. Anything under doesn't.
As for no scoria or…

You're welcome. Glad I could help!

They gave us an estimated timeline for each stage, once the stage is complete they fill invoice you. Each stage is different though. I'll attach the one they gave to…

Which payment do you refer to? The first progress payment? If so, they will invoice you and payment terms is 10 days.

Hi Ian,
Due to some unsavoury comments we opted to delete the thread. I will send you a link to view our blog

Thanks Ian! Glad to hear you're well. We have used your timeline for reference all the way through our build so thank you!
We have almost every trade you can think…

Extremely busy ziplocks!
Our tiles started yesterday and the concrete for driveway and walkway was poured today. Not long now

Big progress this week. Plumbing started, electrical done, main floor tiles delivered, driveway and path excavated and form work started.
Carpet is booked for the 24th and everything else is…

We had the same thing - brick stage caused a 7 week + delay. Hard to know exactly how big of a delay since things were then done out of…

Yes, I think it would be wise to get a comparison tender and then work out how much you pay in rent and how much longer the build will take…

Roshny I haven't had an issue with their quality so far. I say so far because I will wait for final handover and go over it thoroughly. The supervisors are…

Oh wow! That's really bad!
We have had the tiler there the last 2 days and Thursday last week but I haven't had a look as its been really wet and…

Finally!! How many weeks did you go over contract? And, are you claiming liquidated damages?

Just 100 off then
Congrats!! I hope the move goes smoothly!

Hey I'm just looking to see if the owner of lot 3591 is on here?

I spoke to the site supervisor today and he said 5-6 weeks. Fingers crossed!

Well that's the same problem I face. We were pushing it getting everything done in time by Christmas (with two small kids you need fencing) but now, I know it's…

This is the letter:

Dear Valued Client
I am writing to inform you that as a result of current market conditions we are experiencing some delays which have affected us…

Hmm so if you didn't get it then I'll assume that I only got it because my house should have been finished today and we are still only at waterproofing…

Did anyone else get the delay letter/email today?

Ours was CDC certified and it did take a few weeks to show up on the council Tracker website.

There's another listing for the same size block as ours (purchased last May) for $178k extra. I can't believe people are paying that much. We would not be able to…

I have got to agree with you there mrpatto - I'm disappointed with the delay however, the workmanship has been up to par so I guess it's better to have…

You can, you'll just need to organise it with your site supervisor.
We chose not to, everyone has their preferences though. If you want that piece of mind then it doesn't…

Susieq what stage are you up to?
Have they started anything inside yet?

I don't even know what to say Susieq!
I really hope they hurry up as I can't imagine how you're feeling. Don't let them get away with not paying you…

We just went for a drive through JS. First thing we notice (at 10pm) is a 4WD & trailer at the front of our house with cladding in it -…
