It seems my client sold the property. New purchaser has just now found out he has a problem. When I asked whether they got pre purchase inspection the answer was yes, by a franchised inspector who did not pick up on severely dished slab. This is the second time I came across franchised inspectors missing an elephant in the room. On a pre purchase inspection in Eltham they missed 50mm floor subsidence at rear of the house. If the seller was aware of that serious defect and sold the property without disclosing it they can be in a lot of legal hot water.

I noticed more than a few had no temp downpipes and pools of water a meter or 2 from the slabs while another builder had temp downpipes leading into the stormwater drains
I was encouraged by my building consultant to do my stormwater etc myself after handover to save money but now wondering if it was a mistake or if they still woudn't have used temporary downpipes. during a 5-6 month construction window thats potentially a lot of water draining into soil near the slab which i assume may increase risk of slab issues (soil in area is h2-d) i guess the solution is to ask my site supervisor about putting in the stormwater as early as allowed on a weekend and putting my own temp downpipes in with other recent developments that i did not anticipate im begining to wish i had done taken a lot more time for research before signing. Re: Has anyone rectified slab heave successfully 898Jul 31, 2017 1:18 pm I've tended to use owner type inspectors who were all very experienced, similar in setup to building expert and found them knowledgeable and a eye for detail, trouble is some have barely enough qualifications and or experience and maybe not enough care factor. Re: Has anyone rectified slab heave successfully 900Jul 31, 2017 1:52 pm Joker my thought is if stormwater is being done after handover then there is nothign for temporary downpipes to be connected to anyway hence i am going to be asking if i can get access to the site to do my stormwater earlier in the build process
my exes new partner used to work as a building inspector and now works for the local council in the area im building in and he has offered to check on my build for me through out construction. but planning on getting a couple of more detailed inspections as well i think at certain points - just got to find one in the area that i like.
