We're having an extension to our house (I hope!), which our chosen builders said they'd aim to start end of March / beginning of April (same thing in my opinion, but there you go!). We formally appointed them at beginning of the year, and since then we've spoken probably 3 times max....once when builder called to say he was sending someone round to brick match, once to discuss gas meter move and, most recently (2 weeks ago) to bring the ground works crew round to look at the work required to dig foundations.
Builder did say that the job he's currently working on has overrun so we wouldn't start end March as hoped, but he still hasnt given us a formal start date....is this usual, plus the lack of communication etc? We did originally tell them that we were in no rush, and he did reassure us last time we met (when groundworks came round) that we are his next job. It all just seems so vague, I just want a definite start date! Friends I've spoken to who've had recent building work say that everything sounds positive & builders can't always set dates in stone Due to weather etc. I'm just getting impatient....
Anyone with similar experience? Ps no money been handed over - they don't want 1st payment until the build is above ground.
