New photos show The Block homes have a LONG way to go as construction continues just weeks after the show’s premiere – after weeks of feuding between producers and neighbors
The new season of The Block will premiere later this year.
But the houses being built by the teams look far from finished, as can be seen in these exclusive photos obtained by Daily Mail Australia.
Despite some having installed roofs, the houses still require walls and scaffolding around them.
Building materials, cranes and scissor lifts are also visible on the construction sites.
The fronts of all five residences are filled with mud and have yet to be constructed.

It comes just weeks after official ‘for sale’ signs appeared on the front of each of the properties.
The boards revealed the final designs for each of the houses even before they were completed by the participants.
Filming on The Block 2023 began on Charming Street in March, but locals are not happy with the production.
Angry residents claim they are effectively being driven out of their neighborhood by traders and producers who have gathered five classic brick houses on the street.
In March, some residents were angry when Nine asked them to move their car so that a 1950s-themed commercial for the popular reality TV show could be filmed.

“The way the Channel Nine producers handled it was nothing short of a joke,” said one resident.
“He literally told residents to move our cars, but he could park wherever he wanted.”
Daily Mail Australia visited the construction site on March 27. Most neighbors seemed generally happy with the network’s dealings with them, but others weren’t so happy, expressing concern that the street was in danger of losing its charm.

The properties were snapped up by MicJoy Pty Ltd, a company owned by Nine, in separate off-market deals for a whopping $14.3 million.
The most expensive of the bunch, 20 Charming St, cost a whopping $3.5 million when it was purchased last July.
Only one of the five purchased properties along the row of houses at numbers 14, 16, 18, 20 and 22 has two bedrooms. The other four have three to four bedrooms.
