Verdehlo5, we just spoke to our our supervisor about it. He had us spray paint the frame areas we wished for additional noggins/timber and he organized the chippys to do it. No cost they just used some left over frame timber. As some mounts vary in there placement we had them do an area about 400 - ...

Mr woody as previously stated if you don't like my posts ignore, after all it is a forum, and seeing from your posts you are such an experienced home builder and obviously a man of the world, I don't feel offended by your comments, just feel sorry for you that you are part of the fluffy forum who kn...

Verdello5t Normally rio clearance is a minimum of 50mm and in some areas more depending on soil type etc.. In home slabs it is normally due to improper clearance during formup of the slab and then movement during the actual pour and the concretor not checking and maintaining the clearance. I can alm...

Verdelho5T Ref exposed Rio. We also had this problem. After much dispute and problems with Beechwood acknowledging it could be a problem down the track the following were the initial agreement we had with Beechwood to remediate the problem. 1/The entire slab edge around the whole slab was dug back t...

This is nothing new with beechwood and has been highlighted before. The mortar coming out is from to high pressure during cleaning, the cracking of the mortar is usually associated with not enough cement in the mix, and the bricks should have been picked up during the laying and not used. Yes trades...

I am unsure of the full process in regards to this , you would have to ask beechwood themselves. We were given the option during tender stage of private or council but decided to choose private due to the fact that the process is quicker with private. I am unsure on the costing. Having now been thro...

Ref Occupancy certificate and certifier. I would recommend you use the council to conduct the certification process as it is someone independent from Beechwood, you do have the choice and gives you a bit of help if something isnt right. One of the worst things we did was use a private certifier. Our...

Sorry the home has a concrete terrazza installed as part of the slab. As stated the concrete slab was extended by 75mm completely around the whole house slab not the terezza as you state. Attached is an extract from the engineers report, still waiting on P>M This is to confirm that we have inspected...

My apologies, Did not realise that photo was taken after the Beechwood work had been started. Yes the holes have been drilled by Beechwood contractors, as stated Beechwood had to extend the slab around the entire house by 75mm and part of that was inserting rio pars at set distances to help key the ...

No sorry Mr Woody These holes are immediately after the side of the slab was exposed. No work has been done to install another slab,no holes drilled, nothing has been done other than expose the edge of the slab. The holes you refer to are rust spots from the end of rusting rio bars just below or exp...

Not our home but another very unhappy Beechwood customer. Building SW Sydney. Not the only one, spoke to someone else who ended up having whole home rendered due to poor brickwork. Might get fixed but lots of hassle in the process, something no one wants. Sorry rebuild 15 people have sent p.ms and t...

I wonder how these Beechwood home builders are feeling after having every brick in the house knocked down and relaid.

Further to this how many people would take the chance to fully expose the slab once they have full site access? How many Beechwood homes have these issues undiscovered, remember the slab is usually backfilled straight after formwork removal. Below is what was found once the slab was exposed, do othe...

Simple really, the terms are 7 days for payment once invoice is issued and then penalty interest starts accumulating and the build is stopped. It did actually get to this stage where the build was stopped for over a month whilst issues were sorted out, or attempted to be. There is also the issue of ...

manaminute please p.m me and i will gladly discuss via email the said issues as i have done with others who have done so, most of these people have gone with other builders and had so far good experiences. Why via email, simple homeforum has tight guidelines for posting which restricts some of the i...

Trust me our attention to detail was more than up to scratch, site visited every day, regular inspections by certified inspectors at our cost and reports written. Most ignored by Beechwood along the way until their own engineer said things need to be fixed once the burden of evidence got to great. H...

So its your first home and you are an expert, this is our 4th home built through the last 20 years and yes they all have problems but the big difference is how the issues are resolved and how management act when they are involved and treat the customers. The faults below were only discovered when th...
