That is so fast. I am impressed too!!!

Just went to our place and you have site works started. Woohoo!!!!

Hey there
Yes nearly there. We have PCI This week so should only be 10 working days after that! (In theory anyway) can't wait!
How is everything going with you?

Hi Koll1
I just popped a note on your thread.
We chose clay pavers BUT OBF allow the cement aggregate pavers so they might be worth a look. They were still…

Koll1 old Broadwater don't allow cement pavers BUT they do allow the aggregate cement pavers. Brikmakers make some aggregate ones that Ventura were told by OBF were ok. It's another…

Yes, definitely hard not knowing exact dates. I would think you should be in within a year for sure. It's great down here but the red dirt has an attraction…

Hi koll1
It's been just 6 months now since slab down and our slab went down only a couple of weeks after paperwork was done. Our brickies took forever and…

Hi koll1
We are building with Ventura on switchback pde. Our place is the red brick one if you turn right out of boiler onto switchback ours is on your…

Hi there
Looks like You're building around the corner from us. Are you in OBF?

Thanks for your reply.
I should have take a photo tonight. I will definitely take one tomorrow and upload it.

I am hoping someone can help us to understand how our brickwork should be. In the garage on the right hand side on the garage/porch wall it has a line…

Hopefully things move faster for you with the start of the new year. Our site supervisor and the southwest office have been fantastic and hopefully when brickies finally finish we…

That all makes sense. Thanks heaps for your help.

Building inspector, can they take those bricks out and replace them or will they walls that are affected need to be re done?

Thanks for your advice we will be doing exactly that. It didn't look right to us but good to have a professional opinion

Thanks Stewie for your help with the photos.

This is where they have had some perpends thinner earlier in the row of bricks and just filled the end with mortar. It's 30mm of mortar!

I don't know how much mortar is meant to be under the first row of bricks on the footings but it looks like there is nearly none in parts

This is under the sliding door the bed if mortar is nearly 30mm thick

This is where they have knocked out a brick to put the corner window poles in and instead of cutting out the inside of a brick they have left the…

Can anyone give me their opinion of this brickwork. We have a huge bed of mortar under sliding door frame it is 24mm thick? And looks unsightly. Some perpends are…

Glad to see your home progressing for you now Kdolls. Ours started but we have the brickies from hell who are taking forever. At the moment their idea of a…

That is very disappointing kdolls. Have they given you any explanation? We are Nearly ready to start brickwork end of next week or mid the week after. Just waiting on…

I would be interested if you could pass on what your building inspector says. I think it is a great idea to get it checked

Hi there
We have only just started our build with ventura southwest and so far great! Communication perhaps lacking from the office though

Fantastic, hope they are as good for us down south as they are for you

We have been going through the process of the plans and paperwork for a little while and went to our block tonight and found we have a tap!
I don't know…

So exciting for you!

Woohoo!!
