CONSTRUCTION COMPLETE! (Nearly)
I say 'nearly' because technically the construction phase is complete with only a few minor touch ups left to occur, but it should only take a day or two to finish those up before the 'Handover Group' takes over! This past week saw the construction group conduct final inspections and do some of the final fit-offs. There are only a couple of paint and plaster touch ups, soil around the house and installation of the heating thermostat left to do. The Handover Group is due to come in this week and conduct their own inspection and then contact us for our 'New Home Presentation!' At this time, we will go through the house with a fine tooth comb wit the Handover Group and if there are any things that we see need to be fixed, they will then fix them before handing over the keys. Depending on what we see/find this normally takes another week or two. So, depending on when we get the call from the Handover Group (hopefully by the middle of this week) and when they decide to schedule our New Home Presentation (hopefully sometime the following week), we could have the keys anywhere from 2 - 4 weeks! We're guessing about 2.5 to 3.0 weeks away, which is very, very exciting. Stay tuned! Pictures to show how close we are now, below!
Front of the house, essentially complete! The render color change around the front door and upstairs window was finished on Saturday!
Back of the house completed!
