When I selected my building contractor the expectation was that he would be ready to start at the end of September. He’s been asked to do some additional work on his current project and there are a few last-minute details to sort out with the design of my steelwork so by mutual agreement we’re going to start on Monday 5th October, one week today.

To make that happen we need to sign the contract (we’re using one from JCT, the Joint Contracts Tribunal) before the end of this week. That’s planned to happen at a meeting with the Architects on Friday.

If everything goes to plan the house should be finished around the end of July 2016.
