The roof tiling has been completed (except for the garage), and the scaffolding had been removed. Here are the pic from different elevation.

Elevation D (Right side)
The gutters had also been done earlier and guess what, it was wrong material and wrong colour. It should be ColorBond in Woodland Grey, but they've installed Zincalume in some silver colour. We've called SS to tell him the mistake, and his solution is "...will paint it Woodland Grey...". Errr... don't think he is kidding. Contacted CS on this issue and they've come back that they'll remove and replace with the correct material/colour when another scaffolding is put up during bricking stage.
Another mistake the builder made was actually during the slab plumbing stage. The vanity pipe in the Power Room was in the wrong position. As seen in the photo below, it should be on the right side of the frame. SS said they'll jackhammer that part of the slab and re-do the plumbing. *sigh*

Frustrating with the errors. Think the guttering can be changed over quickly, but the waste pipe in the wrong spot will require some ugly slab work.
Won't be the firs time PD have had to correct their piping. My kitchen island bench electrical pit was out by 5 inches and had to undergo some minor slab works, and one of the other Cremornes didn't have one at all, and it too had to be jackhamered in..!
Hmm, errors??? Ask me, we are almost at the same stage as you and have already found 3 errors ourselves, needless to mention the slab to be jackhammered sounds like a big fun, hopefully they will be able to fix the errors successfully :-)
Grrrrr. Makes me so annoyed that they make stupid mistakes time after time. We have all experienced it, and it shouldn't happen.
Good work in staying on top of them. I wouldn't be accepting painted gutters either!
Thanks guys. Although don't expect them to build the house with zero errors, but still can't help feeling annoyed when it happened. :(
I share your frustration. It's one thing that we have to accept that mistakes WILL happen, but when we get told that the fix is going to be less than satisfactory (ie. painting the gutters), makes you want to scream, doesn't it.
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that you have to always stand firm and not accept any second-rate work or materials. Well done for standing your ground.
