It’s finally setting in, our house is officially under construction. We received an email notification from Paul last week to say the brick layers were to begin after the Easter period (first week of April) and now look, there’s progress. Watching the frames go up was one thing, but seeing…
Am I excited about Build Watch or what? If you haven’t already, continue to ask your site supervisor to install a Build Watch security camera on-site to have online access and view your house build progress. The cameras also act as a preventative security measure – for example, when…
