Don't think it will cause any issue. Your slab looks perfect and your brick sits exactly on the slab edge. Really you should find other issues with t your house. :)

Mate this is nothing. It's just an overhang.

Yup. Is the roof sarking vibrating against the colorbond roof. When I 1st move in to my new house it drove me crazy especially thinking is the roof loose, is the gutter loose this and that. But once I understood is due to the sarking over time I forgot about it. Unfortunately mine is double storey h...

The spacing of the studs looks pretty large especially for a load bearing wall.

Question has anyone live in a steel frame double storey house and happy about it? I really can't imagine the noise. For me a simple example I build a timber frame house but the joist they put metal strap on it "X" shape for extra support. When you walk on it etc.. it just "rings"...

There is no way on earth u can build a 37sq double storey home for 511k today and definitely not last year too. Even the cheapest volume buidler can't do that after the site cost etc. And carter is a premium builder.

I'm sure this hairline crack along the joints will still be there in 20 years time whatever u do and also in 20 years time your house will be be standing. It's cosmetic really. Your house is supported by the frame not the Hebel.

Yeah I get the idea but I personally have never seen any house with cracks on that spots. I did even try to find it on the houses around mine but they all look very solid, maybe just too soft mortar on mine. As someone posted , some brickie lay it short covered it up with mortar so it looks nice..

If the "crack" is due to DPC nothing you can do about it. Mine was also like this. It's common sense you put a thin layer of plastic between brick and mortar that's what you get.

In my case when the frame is all up, roof is up and cladding all done. Before they put carpet or laminate they have a person came with lag screws and screw the hack out of the floor. So best u ask your PM.

200mm, Is impossible isn't it? So those with glass splashback or tile splashback. No way you can have a 200mm gap from a gas burner for 98% of the build of current new houses right now. that second link has some tips on how it can be worked around (like putting fire resistant plaster behind the spl...

Ic, yeah must be new.. Since the std depth of benchtop for cooking area is quite shallow.. .So 200mm is impossible for typical gas cooktop and typical benchtop depth. My house build in 2019 definitely doesn't have 200mm.. I just went to measure is impossible to have 200mm unless if use deep benchtop...

IMO, your brick wall looks perfectly fine. Dont' get too hung up over it. If you go to stare at other people's new build you will be surprised how good yours are. A photo you share showing the bottom patching, I don't think that's brick work right? Thats just pathcing up your slab side, and it will ...

Is this really an issue? As far as I know any brick piers in VIC build , basically inside the brick pier is a piece of timber doing the actual support work. The bricks outside are just cladding.. However if the timber inside does fail then yeah the bricks will support it but then the section of the ...

But the brickie says this is normal and didn’t bother to remove. Just laid the bricks. 1. Is this norma...

I suspect could be a small spill of 20 cents or 50 cents size pool of liquid and it didn't dry in time and sipped into the gap... That's all it takes. Which I reckon can be very common especially if you have kids and guest...

My experience would be stop any form of fertiliser until your buffalo is fully established. You are in NSW so I reckon come spring time it will grow very fast again. I learned the hard way.. I put fertiliser in 2 occasions when the grass was not fully established yet. Especially when laid during coo...
