Frame & Roof Completed

The frame was put up very quickly, it was completed on the 25th November. The gutters and roof were completed by the 8th December. We had a few issues with our bricks not being available and machinery at the brick yard was broken so we had to go with our second option. The bricks were delivered on the 22nd December just before the Christmas break. Hopefully will get started as soon as they are back.

It's Started!

Block of land was excavated on Friday 6th November, piers were poured on Monday 9th. Wednesday 11th Pipes were done and on Friday 13th when I went for a look the slab was done. I'm hoping we will have a frame up before they close for Christmas.

                           

Letter of Commencement

House was approved by council on 1st September 2015. We then signed our contract on the 24th September. Our letter of commencement was received by allworth today being the 6th October. So our house should be starting on 3rd November which is 20 working days from today. Had a few hiccups along the way but hopefully that is all out of the way now and we can have a smooth build.

Off to council

Today we signed off our plans, they will now go to basix then council. Hopefully it will go through quickly. Only thing left to do is our electrical plans. 

Land is Registered

Well our land is finally registered and we had settlement on the 24th April. Now just waiting for Allworth to receive our master plans so we can sign off and send to council. 

Colour and Tile Selections

Today we had our tile appointment at Tile Direct, and last weekend we chose our colours at Allworth. We have kept things pretty simple trying not to add on too much cost. We ended up upgrading our ensuite shower head as well. It didn't take as long as I thought, we spent about 1.5 hours at Allworth and 50mins at Tile Direct.
