We thought that the wall of paperwork was over when we signed our contract tender. All the decisions we had made were locked in and the build would begin. Little did we know there are also final drawings!! Our CLE emailed and phoned last week with an update and briefly mentioned the final drawings. We weren't exactly sure what 'final drawings' were but waited in anticipation! On Thursday (now know as slab day!) we received them. The final drawings, believe it or not, included the final drawings!! Another rather large document to trawl through, double check, triple check and sign every page. The changes that were raised as a variation at contract were now included in the drawings so it was important to be thorough as it clearly stated - that these would be used for building and a reference from this point on. Everything looked great and all but a few details were correct We had two lights not connected to a switch, a couple of typo errors and one part of the drawing that was missing part of the render. This has all been promptly fixed and we were even able to move one of our exterior taps and add a hot/cold tap and waste for a future BBQ! Go Carlisle! Final drawings have been sent off (with a variation to sign in the coming days) and the paperwork should be behind us.
We also spoke to our SS late last week. James will be in charge of our build and we should meet him in the coming days. He's on top of the temporary fences too, so we should see them by the end of the week.
