Now the roof is on, the cladding is on and the
windows and particle board flooring is down we are technically at
Lockup stage and you will receive a claim for further payment. Many
of the exterior features are being completed, though it is likely
that the front door, some sliders and the garage door are not on
yet. (We do this for the protection of your new home, so they
don't get knocked around during the labour intensive gyprock stage).
At this stage the stairs will be going in as
well as the hardwood floors.
Bath, tiling
Your bath should be delivered to site now so
that it can be framed in prior to the gyprocking stage. You should
be selecting (or have selected) your tiles now and you should reconfirm
with your project Manager/supervisor the quantities required.
Remember to check your specs regarding heights
and depths of tiling. Discuss with us if more will be required so
calculations can be correct. Remember to discuss with the tiler
any special features required such as borders, diagonal tiling,
oversize tiling, etc, prior to purchase. Then if required have us
calculate the variation amount prior to going ahead.
The biggest issue at this is availability. If
the tiles you select have a lead time check with us first to ensure
that this doesn't impact on the progress of the job.
'Order early' is the key!
Linings and rough-ins
Now the gyprock is complete, if you are arranging
the PC items and tiles, make sure that they are on site now, (don't
forget the floor wastes) and remember if you decided earlier whether
you or the electrician were supplying light fittings, because you
may need them as well.
Check with the Project Manager regarding site
security.
Always be on site for the first day of tiling
to discuss with us/tiler prior to commencing. This is a very subjective
part of the job and requires careful planning and communicating
to ensure what you get is what you had envisaged.
Another claim for payment is made at the completion
of gyprocking.
