Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Jun 13, 2019 12:07 am Hi. I have noticed when I was going around the exterior of our newly built 2 storey house (we still don’t have a pre-completion inspection date) that one of the rendered pillars in the facade of the house is crooked. I’ve emailed the builder about this issue but they still haven’t replied yet. My concern is that the builder might insist that the area is acceptable and not do anything about it. It is not very obvious but since I’ve noticed it, I thought it might be worth mentioning. Should I insist and be firm that they rectify the concern? Looking forward to your thoughts on this. Thank you. Please find below photos of the crooked side and the straight side of the pillars.
