Hi,
First time poster hoping for some informed advice and opinion regarding a mistake made at the framing stage of our new home build.
We specified for a burnished concrete slab in all but the bedrooms and bathrooms of the house.
Slab was poured and a few weeks later the frame was erected, braced internally (nailed to the slab).
This 'mistake' was first picked up by the supervisor who was none too impressed with the carpenters 'stuff up'.
Supervisor contacted concrete grinder and the consensus communicated to us was that the holes could be patched and floor would be fine.
We have been sceptical throughout the build that the floor would meet our expectation and after being patched using a roughly colour matched resin we were less than impressed. We counted 45 highly visible nail holes/patched repairs in our entrance hall, lounge, kitchen, dining and living areas.
We have a number of times expressed our concern and disappointment in our floor but at this stage the builder is of the opinion that the floor is fixed and of a standard suitable for handover.
We met today with conc' grinder and builder to discuss possible fixes of which at this stage an increased gloss is the preferred option but it could still be at our cost and will obviously not erase the holes/patches.
We could possibly learn to live with it but it has caused us considerable stress and we feel it takes away greatly from the finished home.
We are also concerned about possible loss of value due to the obvious damage, but how do you put a $ figure on this if we were to go down the compensation route???
Very disappointed and seeking advice and opinions.
Below is an example of what we have throughout our floor: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅
