Electrical first fit is under way, all the socket, light and switch locations are marked, chased and cables are being pulled. We spent a number of walk-arounds outlining where all these should go, having an experienced electrician is very useful to help with the better locations of these, from both a practical and aesthetic perspective. The fit-out should be finished this week, with the dropped ceiling slated to go in next week - the metal is being delivered on Sat.
The week following then I have spray -foam insulation lined up, then the house will be sealed (barring 1 window and the front door). With insulation in we can install the plasterboard, and then we're ready in and out for plastering.
The front door section is still unfinished. At this point I'm very unhappy with the builder - his efforts and attention to detail has slipped to zero and has cost me a lot of time and stress on the build. I'm more than happy to give an anti-reference at this stage to anyone looking for ICF work done in the south-east. We're meeting Friday with the engineer to discuss the work and we'll see what comes out of that. The detail around the tanking and concrete of the flat roof sections are appalling - the concrete is not level or sloping from the house and cracked while drying. Also the tanking membrane sticking out is not flush to the corners - I could put my fist down there. Overall not good work, and while the entire job should have been completed in 2 weeks, 5 weeks later its still 1/2 finished.
