It's great to see, Chippy!
Summit offer both, though they have significant delays for hard plaster at the moment. I've gone for dry lining over the brick. I'm going to do…

Roof is now complete! 4 months since slab, not bad at all! Bring on the plaster!

Some more amazing progress!
All rendered, roof framed and weatherboards on. Looks like electrical has been cut in as well!
Summit is flying along!

Brick work completed!
A little longer than the SS anticipated but we have had a lot of rain over the past few weeks. Still way ahead of the predicted schedule. Building…

I just got word that the bricks will be completed by mid next week. That's just about on time for when I was initially told they would begin!
They have…

Well safe to say I am very surprised!
Brickwork started two weeks ahead of the expected start date and coming along nicely!
Good job Summit

We have bricks! Just waiting on a brick layer...

Sadly very little movement on site since soak wells went in. There are also missing/wrong storm water drains which need to be sorted, along with a broken pipe. Plumbing has…

Soak wells and electrical run in happening this week!
Summit has told me they will relocate the laundry plumbing after the walls are completed. I'm actually pretty happy with this, as…

We finally have a slab!
It took some time to get there, but I'm glad to finally see some progress. Walking across feels strange, I thought I would have a better…

And we're finally moving forward! Trenches and plumbing in, should hopefully see a slab any day now.
Dr_rock posted:First time build: Custom narrow riverside home in WA
So still no slab and apparently the concreter cancelled.
Here come the delays... apparently things haven't recovered quite as much as I thought. I've been told maybe next week. Will…
Dr_rock posted:First time build: Custom narrow riverside home in WA
All compacted and pegged out. Slab any day now!
Dr_rock posted:First time build: Custom narrow riverside home in WA
So it looks like we finally have some movement on site! Definitely later than expected, but I'll take any progress at this point.
I'll drop by over the weekend to get…

A quick update, we didn't have site start before Easter.
Summit can't seem to give me a day when they are scheduled to begin, so I'm left with a vague…

Thanks NativeZen! I can't wait to start landscaping, though it's going to be a while away yet.
No movement on site yet as of the weekend. Hoping to see some earthworks…

So a quick update. I have a water meter! Still no site start letter but I have been promised before the end of the month. I was hoping for a…

Hey everyone!
After lurking here for a long time and reading some amazing build journeys, I decided to document my own build to offer a blow by blow of building in…
