kev from new homes

I contacted kevin from new homes . we are going to get him to inspect the building of the house. interestingly he said that for single story house like ours he dosent inspect them at the frame stage but preplaster before the bricks go on. So he said when we see the tiles go on and bricks starting. ring him and he will come down. Also said the quality inspectors that the builders have mostly they are ex tafe teachers. and once the builders know he is coming they get the best tradies on to build the house,, Asked him about the painters as some people have been complaining about the quality of their paint jobs again there been a shortage of good painters up till now and hopefully the situation going to improve.. sounds like he knows what he is talking about.

we have a slab

As mentioned on the forum we have a slab:)) it is massive went to the block tonight hoping to see some progress and was nice to see our house slab. wished we had seen it poured but couldnt. looks like it was done yest or today.

our scrape

yeh We have finally started down the building road, six long months we have waited for PD to start and the day has finally arrived. We had a site scrape today and the dunny and rubbish cage was delivered. I noticed though it seems that if you build prestige the dunny is quite superior to the ones delivered at the lifestyle houses. Thought u needed to know that lol. wonder if the tradies are envious.

site superviser

Had a call from our Site Supervisor lenny who will be looking after the construction of our home. Site scrape is tomorrow Nov 20th and plumbing ect should be laid thereafter. Then our slab will be poured NOV 27 and the framers are booked for Dec 4th. Cross fingers it all happens on time.

throw a few coins

A friend of mine who is from a Greek back ground said to throw a few coins in the slab when its being poured its supposed to bring prosperity and good luck. Might just give it a goe if i can get there in time. When we first saw the block their was a rainbow over head. We thought now that means good luck for the future.

This is the PORTER DAVIS HEYWOOD home which we are going to build with the Fremantle Facade.Of cause the bricks and facade colours will be different.
