So folks, let's start our own official construction threads. Feel free to whack some pics in here. Chris, you've got a couple of bottlers in SSC
Currently at the mo this beeatch is at level 2 in corebox(s), and currently the ground level floor is being poured!

Went on a bit of a walk about today, here's a couple pics.
And the Advertiser building is coming along nicely too.
Cool

Someone on SS forums said something like the glass doesn't seem to look as saturated in color as the rendering... of course it wouldn't but looks really dull compared to the first render.
Even so... love all that glass!!! thanks for the pics pikey!

This may seem like an obvious comment, but i'd reserve final judgement until we've had a good look at it on a Summer's day. Everything looks dreary this time of year
Does anyone remember the dates of the first core rises? It'd be interesting to see what schedule they're on.

Chris I think we're going at about a rise per week. There's been 4 so far (Blank rise, Basement 1, blank rise and then level 1) so roughly 4 weeks ago? The first one took longer, if my memory serves me correctly?

Judging by the webcam pic, looks like there is another cour pour happening, so expect a rise maybe this weekend!

I was at the site but didn't take any pics - nothing new since the last round.
What time were you at the site today, Pants?

Awesome pics yet again Pants! With all this reflective glass coming up around the place, hopefully Adelaide will shake this obsession with sandstone and granite it has had in the past!
So we can expect the second crane in August yeah?
