We've got walls!
Brickies started on 21/5/15
We've got a meeting with the site manager next Friday morning.

Oh right, we haven't met with anyone since our prestart meeting. We've got to have a meeting before they start the brick laying I believe so I'm hoping to hear…

Not too sure what a CL is sorry??
We had a provisional sum of about 25k for the site costs but after the titles came out and they did the site…

Hi, yes we did work out what it was for; it was for our retaining walls/site works, we received another progress invoice after the slab was down for the slab.…

No we paid cash for our prestart on the day, it was definitely some sort of progress payment.

It's nice to be able to (finally) see a finishing line in sight.

We have our slab! Yay. It was poured on Friday 10/4/15. I was amazed they did it with all the rain we've been having by here it is.

Update: we've got a retaining wall and we were told our slab woul be poured last week, which it wasn't, but must mean it is very close. We also seem…

No updates, just playing the waiting game for the slab now, we've been told to expect it in early April.
We did have one weird thing, our first progress payment…

Who are you building with copper? They seem to be very slow moving.

We haven't done anything yet, we had to get a delayed settlement date to change the financing because of the site costs, so we do t want to rock the…

I wonder if it would be best to try and get a group together to make a complaint?

I have seen other people talking about some sort of class action because of the delays etc

We got an S class certificate from the developer.

We seem to be sorted. Our settlement is being extended by 4 weeks and the builder is drawing up a variation to have the extra amount put in the build…

Thanks so much emmz, that is really helpful. I will call around my builder and broker today and see what can be done. And yes I would definitely recommend getting…

We had $23k as the provisional sum and they've come back today and said they were expecting the footing detail to be C1 but it's actually C6 and we need…

Hi copper,
Just wondering if you'd paid your site costs yet?
We got our quote back from our builder today and it's $19k over what they'd put as provisional sum so we're…

Hi, just wondering if anyone from stage 1 could share how much your site costs were.

Titles!!!! Finally released today, 12 months after they were originally meant to be issued we finally have titles.

Yeah we had to do the register your interest thing, we originally went for the ones in the cul-de-sac but got outbid on those. We had already picked what design…

Well I went to the tile place on the weekend, I think I've decided on European ceramics, I had a pretty good idea of the colours I wanted for everything…
