Formwork Taking Shape

Thought we would check out our site tonight as one of the guys on the forum who delivers steel advised us that he had delivered it today!! (Thanks Jumbo)

Formwork looking good so far and can really start to see the house taking shape now. Slab pour is scheduled for Friday so hopefully the rain stays away enough for them to complete the formwork in the next 2 days and all ready for Friday.

Piering Complete & Under Allowance!!

Well after much anticipation & plenty of checking of the weather websites, our piering day finally arrived. All was good with the weather and after talking to our Slab Supervisor in the morning, a 1pm meeting time was arranged at the site for the piering inspection.

Was surprised & happy that we came under our 80 lineal metres piering allowance and actual piering came in at just under 74 lineal metres - 73.8 to be exact. Looking forward to some credit back which our CLO has advised should be sorted in the next couple of weeks!

We have pipes & a fence

Weren't expecting anything further to happen to the block until after piering (21st January) but thought we would just go around and have a look. We were very surprised to find that the plumbing had been completed today! Great surprise to see some progress especially when you don't expect it.

Now we wait for piering (weather permitting) on Monday :)

Our Site Scraped!!!!

Before the xmas break, got a call from our Slab Supervisor who advised that our site scrape was scheduled for this week. Went past tonight and it has been done! Very exciting to finally see some significant progress on the land after so long due to land registration delays. Scheduled to have our piering, plumbing and formwork completed around Monday 21st January.

Electrical Appointment Complete

Had our electrical appointment at the MJH MyChoice Studio Norwest today. Decided to get most (if not all) electrical work done through the builder as this would both save us time after handover if we were to do it ourselves and the fact that everything you do through the builder is included in warranty.

Extremely happy with our choices & like our colour selections, can't wait to see them in our new home :)

Next stop..... site scrape!

Settlement Complete

Just got word through today from our Conveyancer that settlement has taken place on our block of land and our purchase is now complete!!!!

That completes half of the puzzle, now for the building to start. We are both looking forward to seeing it all take shape.

Land (FINALLY) Registered!!!

Well after more than a year purchasing our block of land, and delay after delay, we were happy to find out it has finally registered!!! Informed our CLO at McDonald Jones about the great news and she was getting the 'paperwork' ball rolling. Settlement should be within 2 weeks :)
