Good advice from kirashogun and insider. Can you post soil test summary/recommendations? Your house movement is symptomatic of slab instability but you need to post more information. Have you had independent inspections during your build? This was built as part a multi dwelling development and I ha...

They are reluctant to pass on any information to me. I asked for the structural plans and the builder told me to stop demanding Inofmrstiin from them. He told me to contact council to get them. The council wouldn't have them, its ridiculous. Get it from the building surveyor. They issue the buildin...

This wasn't apparent at handover. It's getting worse each week but wasn't visible two months ago. did you contact the builder as this needs to be fixed I have and they have come to view it but haven't come back to me with how it is to be rectified. They are very slow to respond to calls or emails a...

I would get a structural engineer to have a look. Could be slab heave. Do a baseline of your floor level. Get all copies of your foundation design and soil report ready.

We have this in our home, it’s only a small spot next to our sliding door. Our house is 18 months old. The builder has said they don’t fix it unless it’s 3mm or more. We were told to just fill it and paint. Do you have a 3 month inspection? If so then maybe mention it then It's way more than 3mm. I...
It's way more than 3mm. I know the photos don't show that much of a gap but it's quite large. I've done the 90 day defe...

We were after some advice or suggestions on the best way to complete a parquetry job in our home. We have jack hammered up the old tiles and a thick mortar bed which was bonding the tiles to the slab. We have used a concrete grinder over the slab to remove most of the high bits. The result is a slig...
