Happy New Year All!
Just an advise/ opinion, if you still can, don't have Kurrajong do your landscaping. Their supplier's quality of work is a stress source. I am…

@madsmc our north elevation is BAL 40 rated. i was hoping for interim oc this week but did not happen 
fpd7 posted:Who is building with Kurrajong Homes?
@madsmc, not kidding another is the BAL rated screen for our front door. we're pushing for mid-next week handover, so hopefully all works needed…

This is one of the items holding…

i did a research on rainfall measurements this year, found the nearest weather station in Penrtih thru the BOM website (link below), good way to verify extension letters and dates…
fpd7 posted:Who is building with Kurrajong Homes?
@euanmarie its a bit weird to have the same letter for the same work as they only have one supplier for landscape & driveway
fpd7 posted:Who is building with Kurrajong Homes?
@madsmc wow...its surprising that the info came from the supplier, not from Kurrajong. So will that delay the final inspection again?
fpd7 posted:Who is building with Kurrajong Homes?
received another extension letter due to inclement weather on Aug24-26 for landscaping and driveway, too wet & muddy to proceed. anybody got the same reason for those dates?
its funny that…

@Lily hooray for the slab!
i am looking forward to the next extension of time letter with all these rain. we have the driveway & landscape starting today in co-construct.
fpd7 posted:Who is building with Kurrajong Homes?
yes, they can extend beyond 22 weeks as per clause 9 of the contract. its always been inclement weather for landscape/driveway/bricks/frame.
fpd7 posted:Who is building with Kurrajong Homes?
they would always say they are within the contract agreement. for us it was 22weeks, does not include extension times & one month for building prep after all documents…

@madsmc that's good news! its always good to have the practical completion date.

yup, Mark suggested bamboo floor and we did not pay extra to have it as an upgrade…
