It will likely be the $3000 plus other costs incurred to date (such as site reports, multiple draftings of plans, DA fees). If you are at Council stage then those…

Bugger! I thought they would have done more of the sheeting from when i saw them this morning!

You can't have tiles and steel frame.
I've heard of a few people paying quite a bit extra to reinforce the frame to have tiles but I've also heard of people…

They were there this morning putting your gutters up. Hopefully your SS got on top of things with your blanket just in case they pushed on and started the roof…

Some roof scaff was up this morning. I didn't look this arvo to see if anything had changed though.

Yep NSW build.
I didn't get carpet through mjh as they weren't able to offer the more plush carpet that we wanted. Though from comparing quotes, while we found hard flooring…

I didn't expect to see them go in today too. Hopefully making up some lost time for you.
I drove past and was like woah soooo many windows!

I think you should have sufficient room without changing anything then. Presuming its 14 or 16mm bamboo boards and 3-4mm underlay, you still have minimum 1840 clearance.
My fridge is…

Are mjh doing your flooring? Your elevations would show the cavity space ffl including flooring, so is that 1.86 measurement coming from your plans?

Rocks will become your temporary access driveway.
