We have finished lockup AND fixing at the same time, so entering final stage, so am I being ambitious for final stage to be 3 months?

Not yet. We only discovered it at 7 tonight. Not sure if I should contact him about it specifically, considering I shouldn't technically be on site, or if I should…

Yep. Here. Looks like it's meant to be an awning. Wonder if it's just a mix up as there is meant to be a fixed panel window around the corner.

Went to our site today. Think they have stuffed up a window. Our plans state that it is a special style window 21-06A. I assumed this was an awning window.…

It was 3.5 weeks from the day the slab was poured.
Framing included roof trusses and all frame except garage. No windows or wrapping or anything. Windows upstairs get stated next…

Hey everyone,
Just a quick question. Frame stage complete now, invoice on it's way. What's the normal timeframe for lockup stage? 40sq double storey. I know delays happen, just curious…

Thanks. We made about $75k in structural upgrades and addons. I mean a $1,200 fee to change anything structural.
