Building commences

This week, Ben and I met with our site manager - the builder in charge. He gave us a general run down of the process and answered a couple of questions we had;
  • Can we keep the leftover bricks? - Yes.
  • When will the build be complete, approximately? - Late August, all things going smoothly.
  • Can we come on site to look at the progress/take photos? - Yes (hooray), but limited and better to organise a time with him first.
  • Can we switch out the fixed bathroom windows for ones that open? - Yes, however that will drop the energy rating again and require a re-evaluation of the EER and probably more double glazing = more money.
After the site cut (completed this week - seen in the picture below, the builder expects the slab to be in by the end of next week and the frames and windows the following week - exciting times ahead!
