Project update – March 2023
April 1, 2023 Henley have gone into liquidation… April Fool ! Alright, it was a poor joke… Before I start on the March update I want to touch on the terrible news yesterday that one of Henley’s competitors has gone into liquidation. As someone who is currently going through a build, I can only imagine […]
Project update – February 2023
March 3, 2023 From late January through most of February I was on holiday overseas, which probably explains why this update is late and I’ve been rather quiet on this website. Rest assured, there’s been plenty of activity on site. I was even fortunate enough to be contacted by a member of Henley’s in-house legal […]
Project update – January 2023
January 31, 2023 Almost all of the construction industry shut up shop for the Xmas break, building works on my site were no different.

Outside Thankfully, Melbourne has experienced somewhat drier conditions for […]
Project update – November 2022
December 5, 2022 November was a relatively busy month onsite with the brickwork beginning in the second half of the month, that should be completed in the next week, weather permitting. The bricklayer is doing a great job and the results will speak for themselves. Inside the house there was a flurry of activity early […]
Project update – September 2022
October 1, 2022 Following on from my bullish project update for August, September has seen a disappointing slowdown in onsite activity. Early in the September the frame stage was completed, including the roof trusses. Like last month, Henley did not waste a minute getting the invoice for the frame stage progress payment into my email […]
Project update – August 2022
August 31, 2022 Construction has been under way for a little over 6 weeks now and I’m pleased to report that Henley are doing a great job of progressing my home. Melbourne has seen many more rain days in August than we’d usually receive, so on that basis, Henley have done particularly well. Base/slab Early […]
