    They said the end of this month but with the big storm that hit they have had to move their contractors to other sites to fix damage. I don't see why though as all they have to do in our house is grass, carpets, blinds and garage door. All they did in 1 week is fit the flyscreens. We gave notice on our rental so now I am sitting on edge hoping they finish. The manager did say they will finish the first week of April. I hope they don't do only 1 thing a week again!

    Keystart says they take 5 working days to pay so hopefully they do.

    How is your building going?

    With Keystart, when you do get the call from the builder to say you can come and hand over, call Keystart and let them know. Tell them you want to come and collect the final payment cheque directly - you need to into the office in StGeorge's Tce and collect it - so you can take it directly to the builder (Are you using Homebuyers?). Then take the final payment straight to your builder, sign the handover and take your keys - all in one day. Otherwise the post it between each other and it is a whole big waste of time - especially if you need to be out ouf your rental.

    We moved into the house last June.

    Sorry, I mmisunderstood your earlier post - it did take 3 weeks from memory from lock up to practical completion. Then 10 days from our final inspection to handover.
