Hi RJMM, We are very happy with the house. A few niggles here and there but Alkira has responded quickly. We were delayed getting in due to the driveway so…

Thanks. No we have arranged it ourselves. I was about to head up there shortly so I will get some pictures.

Property has been handed over. Driveway has commenced and will be done early next week.

Hi RJMM yes I have been in contact via email as we have handover tomorrow. The change of direction was in the Christmas email and not s seperate communication.

Hi RJMM sorry I haven't had a chance to respond. I think the main things are to do with making sure everything is done as per contract and then finishes.…

PCI went well. A number of minor things to be done but all should be good for handover on 2nd of March.

Big day tomorrow with our practical completion walk through and hand over in 2 weeks.

Visited the site today to meet the electrician was doing second fix. We are now so close with the walls painted, bathrooms only requiring the cornices to be installed, appliances…

I agree. Weather and exposed frames don't mix.

Lock up is difficult. We are a battleaxe block so we haven't had much of a view. No problem on the hijack I enjoy hearing about other Alkira builds.

Always good to have another house to benchmark progress against. What stage are you at now?

Thanks for sharing the pictures. It looks great!! Nice corner block so it is easy to have a peak. I like the render it looks like they have done a…

Love the stairs they look amazing. Would have loved them in our place but couldn't forgo the storage!!!!

Hi Franky40, just found your thread. Your plans look great and massive! Looks like you have had good progress.
