My Porter Davis Build Blog

We've hit dirt! Official site start was Monday 16th June! Didn't get any phone calls from the slab supervisor before hand but, to his credit, he did call after the site cut was complete. Sounds like a decent bloke and he has done a commendable job so far in responding to phone calls and listening to my concerns (mainly around the old fence where our new garage will be) As we didn't need any dispensations, none of our neighbours received copies of our plans so, out of respect, I have provided them with a copy of the drawings anyway so they know what to expect when it is all complete.  The front:  It is a bit of a deep ~1.2m cut but hopefully once the slab is on it won't look so extreme.  The middle: This white line is where they marked for the cutting and filling.  You can also see our side fence has collapsed during demolition. Neighbour was nice and suggested we only rebuild it after the construction. I am asking PD to put on temp fencing to cove

Received 30th May! Not long to go now. According to the HIA contract, site start must commence 21 days after the essential information from the Owner (eg. land title ownership, bank loan approval, etc) all necessary building permits and planning approvals payment of the deposit My Building Coordinator tells me site cut is scheduled for 16th June although this is just verbally over the phone.  The only other interesting note for the building permit is that this CBC company will need to come and inspect at various stages of construction. Piers, Pre Slab, Slab Steel, Frame, Re Frame, Garage Frame, and Final.
