Goes to show that the DJM certificates aren't worth the paper they're written on (and they're digital!). Sounds like your SS is at least trying to do the right thing.…

Pretty well. SS reckons PCI end of next week, but there are still a number of outstanding items so I'm not overly confident.
What's happening with yours Ezza?
Arden - Votivo 43
That's ridiculous, what excuses are they giving you? Our progress has slowed a little this week, but it's still moving along at least.
Having said that, we just received an email…

This bit happens very quickly, blink and you'll miss it. What's going on with the front upstairs window? Probably just the photo, but looks like the glass is smashed.

The temp downpipes are rather useless. Ours were flapping around so the tradies wrapped them around the scaffolding and they filled up with water.
They've since been replaced and the same…

Our frame report was pretty bad but it all got rectified fairly quickly, so don't be too stressed if yours is bad too.
AAA are the frame pre-fab company (I think).…

Sorry to hear that Ezza. What's the holdup, AAA?
We've been flying since new SS took over. Hebel is done on ground floor and plaster is going in tomorrow subject to…

Yep, same here, actually received the invoice on the morning they were meant to be closed. We just replied it's not complete and ignored it.

Looks great, very pleased for you. It's amazing how quickly the house takes shape at this stage.

Sorry, I meant 2 weeks from frame delivery. The joists and flooring were delivered another 2 or 3 weeks before that and just sat there getting drenched.
Patience is a virtue…

Don't hold your breath. Our frame was delayed by weeks because they either didn't turn up or hadn't finished a previous job.
Arden - Votivo 43
Thanks, yours looks like it's coming along nicely as well.
We're just finalising the frame defects and the plumbing is mostly done. I guess next is electrical and Hebel, possibly not…

It was going well while the construction manager was looking after things. He's just handed over to the new SS, so we'll see. Early signs are good though.

They're vents for the drains. Water can't flow away freely unless air is pulled in to displace it. The pipes will be properly flashed so the roof is watertight.
Arden - Votivo 43
Who's your new SS Ezza? Our roof still isn't on and we have the construction manager looking after our job at the moment.
Arden - Votivo 43
Yes, we had NHI out before Xmas. Good luck with yours.
I was told the same about the Structaflor, but ours has been out for almost 3 months now. It took…
Arden - Votivo 43
Good news Ezza, we've still had no progress. Lots of frame defects to resolve before they even measure up the roof.
Meanwhile, windows have been delivered and dumped out the front.…
Arden - Votivo 43
You've overtaken us now Ezza, our windows and doors have been delivered but nothing is fitted. Looks like nothing has happened this week except guttering.
Arden - Votivo 43
So our bloody SS (who has since been fired) never ordered our roof despite half a dozen confirmations. No roof for us either before Christmas... This is beyond ridiculous now.
How's…
Henley Reserve - Cullen 45 .. Build Cancelled !
Fair enough, I guess waffle is pretty standard nowadays for flat sites. We're building on one, hopefully after all the recent bad press, the engineering should be sound.
Henley Reserve - Cullen 45 .. Build Cancelled !
What a joke. Sorry to hear of your troubles. We're building with Arden and have had plenty of dramas as well, but at least our admin is doing her best…

Hey there, how did everything go following the inspection?
Arden - Votivo 43
Seems OK with the exception of the electrical box area, which isn't fully enclosed by the concrete. NHI will check this during the frame inspection next week.
Arden - Votivo 43
Not much to see now. Long story short, we were told that the defects would be rectified. Luckily I didn't take their word for it and turned up on the…
Arden - Votivo 43
Almost finished with frame.
Delays due to framer (supposedly) having personal issues and not turning up, followed by shortage of trades to replace them, then the super storm, then framer went…

Carnegie.
Our whole build has been one delay after another. Hopefully our roof (and yours) is done before Christmas.
Arden - Votivo 43
Looks great Ezza, you've almost caught up to us and our slab was poured a month before you...
Who is your SS?
Edit: Just saw JL. Hopefully he gets assigned to our…

Thanks for the photos, looks like it's coming along nicely.
I'm curious about what those vents cost?

Hi Felix, how's the build coming along since the last update? Are you building with Hebel to the ground floor?
