Frame fully completed

Our roof truss has finished on Tuesday, so officially, the framing stage is completed. PD has been efficient enough to send us bill#2 which we've received it today.

We've meet up with our SS this morning to have a walk through the building and raise any issues concern. He has run through what has been done, and also what are the tasks following. He mentioned that a frame inspection has already been made and he'll also check the frame himself to make sure everything is OK before X'mas. Anyway, we've also called BigK for the inspection on frame stage. He should be here on Monday.

We've missed out asking PD to do the insulation/soundproof for sub-floor, and SS is kind enough to help us call his contact from CSR so that we can get a quote from them.

Up to this moment, we're happy with the people we've dealt with from PD (CS, SS, etc). The experience so far is very different from what we had when we built our first house with $imond$. Just hope it stays this way!




This is not the actual "completed frame" photo, will upload the actual one soon.



One important point SS brought up was that this newly titled stage of the estate has no power yet, and the building guys currently run on generator and it cost them $100/day, and if it goes on after some time, PD is likely to charge us in order to share the cost! A quick call was made to Peet and was told power only comes in Feb 09, and they'll not compensate us if the builder starts to charge for the generator. Not happy with that answer!!!!!

Hi guys. Well done on getting that frame complete.
Very interesting observations re PD v that other builder. I have been talking to people in our street who are building with other builders, and I am convinced that PDs building process (incl admin and supervision) is far superior. True.
Bummer on that electricity. The sooner that is in, the better.
