Completion Date - 21 October 2010

On the way back from the picture taking session this morning I called the Customer Service Officer to ask my vague "what's happening question?". The response was that the kitchen pack had been received and has been passed onto Construction. I was put through and left a message for the Construction Assistant. I did say that I knew work had commenced just to put them on notice because I want a completion date.

She called back to say the Site Supervisor has been delegated, and is therefore the best contact for any future queries, but that she would email through the timeframe and details.
Instead of having one SS, there is two, as Camden is currently being picked up by the Southern Highlands team, and they job-share. Whether this is a good or bad thing remains to be seen.
The completion date is apparently the date from the end of the 20 day period, so that is still 21 October 2010. But she acknowledges they have been able to commence two weeks early so construction may be earlier if possible, but as the weather has not been great we also have to be prepared for rain.

So a quick check of BoM reveals:

YAY - Letter of Commencement 10-06-10

Well after waiting most of yesterday I was about to head off to Westfields at 3pm when the Mortgage Broker called to say I could collect my letter and the letter for Allworth and deliver the letter to Allworth rather than wait for it to arrive in the mail, which may have meant the price increase would have applied.
So I am very pleased to announce that at 4pm I left the Allworth Head Office building at Parramatta having passed the letter onto the Customer Service Officer.
20 days people! They have 20 business days to commence and then 15 weeks to complete (God willing), so we should have movement on the patch of dirt by 8 July 2010.
