Patience is a virtue. Well at least when you're building!

Yet another month has passed and we are yet to start out build. It seems January is probably one of the laziest and slowest months of the year. Here is a quick update on the progress we have had recently:
  • Bank has given unconditional approval
  • Second soil test was ordered on the 06/01/2015 and we are still waiting for the results!
  • Building permit is being held up by the soil test
  • Final construction drawings also waiting on the soil test
We are due to go to site on the 30/01/2015 but this is becoming less feasible with every day that goes past.

Fortunately, our current Building Coordinator is absolutely wonderful and responds to my emails/calls within the same day. At worst it will be early the next day! Very impressed and grateful for her top notch service. 

Porter Davis is chasing up the engineering company to provide a report for the soil test. The engineering company says they have already done the test and have a back log of reports to completed.

The strange thing is I have been out to the block and could not see any holes or disturbed soil whatsoever! Who to believe...?

You definitely need to be patient when building a home...


Thanks for reading!

  1. Really hope this all gets going for you soon! Things can come together very quickly all of a sudden though, so the 30th Jan might still happen for you. Fingers crossed!

    1. Thank you :) Still waiting on the soil test. I was told yesterday PD received the report but after going to the block I couldn't see any holes or disturbed soil. Got my fingers and toes crossed but they are starting to hurt! Haha
