I just want a start date

Unfortunately this stupid retaining wall is still a thorn in our side. It is ridiculous that the hardest part of the build so far is in reagrds to something that is going to be the easiest to actually build. Council have let us know that they can't do a construction certificate as part of a complying development application because it isn't a complying development. The only way they can do a construction certificate is to lodge a DA for the retaining wall. However, in a rather long letter I received from council they have stated the DA for the building that has already been submitted also includes the retaining wall which makes it absolutely pointless to submit a DA for the retaining wall. Especially as council do not require it and have no interest in this stupid wall anyway. So now we are back talking to Coral to try and find out what exactly they require and why. We have all but given up talking to head office. The lady changes her storey every time and really seems like she has no idea what she is talking about. We now have council calling her directly today to try and sort this out. Me and hubby are 100% fed up. We just really want to be at the point where we can speak to a site supervisor and tradies who actually know what they are talking about. Literally this wall at its highest is not even at my waist height and I'm a shorty. If it fell it wouldn't even brush the house.

We had our final finishings appointment 2 weeks ago and are still waiting for Coral to get back to us with a price. The tilers and electrical people had a price for us the day we had the appointment. Coral apparently takes over 2 weeks to find prices on very minor changes. All of which were given to us as options at the finishings appointment. The only changes we have made are:
1. Change the mortar colour to off white instead of grey
2. Upgarde to gold class carpet
3. Upgrade to the kitchen and vanity cupboards that feel like real wood
4. Mirrored cupboard doors in the bedrooms
5. Upgrade to better colour for outdoor cupboards

So the list isn't very extensive. And really nothing that should take more than 30 minutes to price up and write up. I would hate to see how long it takes for a long list.

As I'm sure you can see I am getting rather frustrated with the time required by head office to get things done. I just want to get to building where we have people we can talk to face to face and actually get stuff done. Ahhh the joys of building.
