Wow, coming along nicely!

Well, I thought the same. They can't miss it if the frame has been truly done. But there could be something left to be done internally, I'm not sure. Has…

And come to think of it, how can frame inspection can be properly done when half of the house is wrapped? Checking from inside should be okay but I think…

There has been no noticeable progress and apparently framing hasn't been completed yet - I haven't received the invoice - but voila, they are installing the Hebel to GF tomorrow,…

My SS told me about these things but as you see, the time line was quite optimistic.

Hi gags
We really rushed the electrical too so had to finish in an hour. Our colour selection consultant looked quite tired after 3pm anyway. But you can always change at…

Wish I can! By the time I get there, they would be all gone.. pity that I'm working full time and not exactly a morning person.
We have the roof…

Thanks Dave. Apparently they removed the scaffolding so I'm assuming there's nothing much left to be done... hopefully!!

Browsing through the past posts, I'm sorry to hear some of the builds didn't go as much as we wanted.
And just to pick up my previous thread on cancelled…

Hey Ezza78. Hopefully that's the case! Hope your pre-slab goes ahead as scheduled.

Depending on weather they might cancel at the last minute as what happenned to my site. Lucky NHI and my SS directly communicated for pre-slab inspection time otherwise I could…

Oh, good to know. Thank you very much dave398. Looks some of the tradies in our area aren't good at time management. Well hopefully I will hear something soon!

Thank you Ezza78. Unfortunately it wasn't complete yet on Monday so will probably chase them up.. or not? It's been almost 5 weeks since the framing started lol. I think…

Well.. haven't heard anything back yet since the last week's mini saga despite promises that it would be done last week. Will need to go down and have a look!

Exciting! Please make sure you get the pre-slab inspection done!

Hi Gags
I think you will have the same M.F He's been good so far on the phone and in person. It's just that sometimes emails…

Yeah I'm building in Harpley in Werribee. Where are you building, Gags?

Hi JM1911A1
Thank you for the post. I understand a 'practical' completion is what triggers the payment, but in my case, there were too many braces missing etc etc so it…

Arden agreed to cover the cancelled inspection cost and to re-issue the progress payment invoice when the frame is actually complete. Credit to my SS for his frank and upfront…

Even if they check(I'm not too sure whether they exist at all?), they'd be working for builders, not for us. I think they will just try to pass substandard works.…

I think Arden is responsible. No inspection would have been scheduled today otherwise.

Well I received a phone call from NHI this afternoon that my frame is incomplete, so the inspection could not go ahead. This inspection was arranged between NHI and my…

Yeah I would have gone for Dahua as well. I may go for wireless so looking at Ring and Netgear Arlo, but other better options may come up when my…

Dahua is good one. Maybe better than Hikvision depending on your preferences.
Does the quote include home theatre installation later on if you go for in-wall or in-ceiling route?

Um.. maybe I should go and look today. We're almost into 3 weeks now. I really hope there's some progress.

Love the facade you chose Ezza78. We wanted to have the Hampton style but decided to put some money in HT, kitchen and other bits.. Hope all go smoothly!

Good! Only 5 defects don't sound too bad at all.
Would you mind telling me how long did the frame stage take? Mine started 2 or 3 Oct (can't remember…

Hope your slab pour went as scheduled! Exciting times ahead. Did you engage someone to inspect the pre-slab?
I sent you a PM. Could you please check when you have…

Haha so true! I don't have kids either but like dad jokes..
We haven't had much chance to deal with him as we haven't even started.. Slab hasn't been poured…

I think I have your Millenium Falcon for our SS... Dad joke aside, seriously, our SS is MF.
