Framing for the glass has been completed on all Levels, and glass windows and external walls have been completed on Levels 1, 2 and 3, with installation of these close to being finalised on Level 4. The glass balustrade around the perimeter of the roof is also being installed.

A considerable amount of the Ground Floor, including the car stackers in the garage, has been completed.
On the 1st and 2nd Levels, the majority of the work has been completed, including the kitchens, bathrooms and laundries. We are awaiting the delivery of the stone for the kitchen benches for each Apartment and the final coat of paint.
Levels 3 and 4 are in course of being plastered. Most of the interior infrastructure on these Levels has been completed.
The update on the expected completion date is around 15th May 2020. The date has been pushed back about a week from our original estimation due to inclement weather, but the team continues to work collaboratively together and we are very excited about the quality of the finished product.

Welcome to the February update for the current and future construction status for the development at 436 – 442 Mt Alexander Rd, Ascot Vale known as Royal Ascot.
The construction is progressing, with the external façade works well underway and due for completion in March 2020. Fitout and finishes works have also commenced for all levels of the building. These works will continue through until the project end.
However, as a result of the circumstances currently in Shanghai and wider China, the builder is forecasting a slight delay in the delivery of some particular items. In addition to this, the bushfires over the summer period also had an impact on the construction program. The thick smoke haze forced construction to stop amid safety concerns.
The builder has suggested a potential delay on the back of these issues, pushing practical completion to mid-June 2020.
Please also note that there is a construction camera installed opposite the site which is relaying real time photo’s online. The construction camera can be viewed anytime at https://www.royalascotresidences.com.au/.

We have to report that with manufacturing on hold in China at least until late February in some instances, we will not know for another month (end of March) the extent of delay to the completion of West End.
Both our builder Hacer, and the operator of the Adina Serviced Apartment Hotel have formally notified us to expect delays.
We are unable to provide guidance at this stage as to the extent of delay but we feel that Building 4 the Foundry will experience the longest delay while Building 5 the Spencer will be least affected.
If you drive by your future homes, you may be surprised that there could be a delay given the structure has advanced so quickly as you will see from the photos below taken on the 24th and 25th February 2020. The delays are due to various product items involving building services, fitout and some specific items like window frames. The entire country is also affected.
Until the outbreak of the coronavirus, we were expecting settlements of each building to be as follows:
| Settlement Dates | Construction Completion | Proposed Settlement Date |
| Building 2 – Adderley | Aug-20 | Sep-20 |
| Building 3 – Mailhouse | Sep-20 | Oct-20 |
| Building 4 – Foundry | Early Jul-20 | Late Jul-20 |
| Building 5 – Spencer | Nov-20 | Nov-20 |
| Building 1 – Adina Hotel | Jul-20 | Trading from Aug 20 |
We eagerly await an update from our builder Hacer with the expected revised construction completion dates which we are hoping to provide in March 2020.
The developers have installed a camera on site which is taking photos every 15 minutes. Please view this here for the most recent pics.
