As you will now, building work has started, and is progressing well despite a few problems, the main one being excessive amount of water in the ground. I think it's from the long-standing drainage leaks (now repaired) but the builder is worried it might be an underground stream...
Anyway, we are dealing with it.
The excavations to reduce levels were completed yesterday, and a layer of hardcore fill has been spread. Today a few ducts will be laid, so that services (gas, electricity, telephones) can be brought in later. Next the damp-proof membrane will be laid, followed by the thermal insulation.
The concrete slab will probably be cast on Tuesday, so we can start decorating the weekend after.
