There’s been a lot of construction in Ohakune over the years. This photo taken c1910 shows some construction work underway. I wonder if the guy with the bucket is a LBP?
I met with a number of builders the first month after taking possession, but needed to get building consent approved before I could get pricing from them. The delay has coincided with an upturn in construction in the district. Good builders are very busy as I discovered when I sent my plans and requirements out for indicative pricing:
- Option A doesn’t want to take on a renovation project
- Option B isn’t available until April
- Option C isn’t available for 18 months
- Option D isn’t available until after Christmas
- Option E is about to start a nine-month job
- Option F hasn’t got back to me with pricing
- Option G isn’t returning my messages
I need to get my first building inspection completed by early-January, otherwise I have to re-apply for building consent. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but I didn’t think it’d be this much of a challenge!
