In short: Trades follow each other quickly here. These are the points where work vanishes.

A fixed program leaves narrow gaps

An estate build runs to a schedule, and the space between one stage finishing and the next covering it is commonly two or three days.

Slab pre-pour

Book the day ahead of the pour. Beams, laps, chairs and pod debris are all visible now and never again.

Frame

Where the serious Donnybrook findings live. Missing beams, porch post fixings and cut truss chords.

Lock-up

Termite protection, anti-ponding boards and roof damage, in the days before the plasterer.

Waterproofing

Once the membrane is on, ahead of the tiler.

Pre-handover

A week out from completion, so the list is with the builder before you sign.
