Waiting and more waiting

Contract is signed, house is demolished now waiting on Ashford to get started.  We have our tile appointment this week and then a whole full week more before colour selection, only then can they start building.  I'm still hoping to see them get to site on the 1st of September, its unlikely but we'll see.  They are apparently working on the building permits so I hope that is progressing.   It all seems crazy that we have to have the colour of tiles and paint selected before they start pouring the slab!

Here's some photos of levelled site :
