Termite protection has also been competed.
Its been a busy week, and Im quite happy with how the whole slab process is coming along.
We were meant to have some activity on site today. However due to the bad weather, the boxing has been post-phoned to Monday next week. Which means our slab pour will be also pushed back by a day to Tuesday.

Doing some research on Homeone forums and those who have built with PD before, it appears that many use an independent inspector to check the work at major stages.
We've decided that in order to have a peace of mind, we needed an inspector to do this for us. I enquired about New Homes Inspection and they've told me that they don't do slab inspections. I also enquired with Final Inspect, and Peter does slab inspections. However because I've contacted him so late, there was a sense of urgency to get documents/contacts to him if we engaged him.
However, he explained over the phone that his services are MUCH more experienced as he's inspected many new homes before including PD. He comes with a building regulations background and a law background, making his reports and findings more creditable compared to other inspection services which could be just ex-tradies having a good eye for things.
During a span of 3 hrs, I engaged him and allowed him to start contacting our BC/SS to get the slab inspection ready by Monday before the pour on Tuesday.
Peter will be conducting inspection on our SLAB/FRAME/FINAL HANDOVER
I will provide more updates on these reports and findings.
