And to think that all of this has happened in less than 25 weeks of build time (our site start date was 30/3/11 but the site cut etc didn't happen until late April)!
Way to go PD! We received our final invoice (dated 30 sept) so i reckon they will give us this week to organise the final things like transferring water and electricity into our names, organise the final direct debit from our lender, etc.
Anyway, since our last visit on the 10th so much has been done.
- Most of the floor and wall tiles have been laid (just have to finish the batch hob and patches around the kitchen island) And also will have to fix up the splashback in the powder room as they laid the wrong tiles. It should have been all feature tile but they laid it like the upstairs ensuite.
- Most of the faucets have been installed (plumber needs to just finish off the mixer taps in the master ensuite, install taps in the powder room and ensuite vanities)
- Spa bath needs to be installed :(
- The electricals have been finished off and all the lightswitches are installed. Have to just go over the electrical plans to make sure nothing missing.
- Brickwork that needs replacing still to be done
- Paint patch ups required as they have come back to fix up the non flush items, such as windows and architraves.
- Carpet to be installed (approximately the 26th of September)
- Main door handle needs to be installed.
Here are some photos of our progress so far!

It looks stunning guys. So glad you are happy with it (as you should be) it is beautiful. The tiles in the main ensuite shower and splashback look amazing. We almost did our whole ensuite in them but chickened out at the last minute. It didn't occur to us to use it like you have.
Front door looks awesome, we are having that too. Did you get to choose where they put the handle and lock ?
Good luck for the 5th
