Re: perpends and mortar on the inside face 18Jun 02, 2015 6:05 pm ![]() ![]() IMHO, and i've been in the building industry for 35+ years and if it were my house, I couldn't care less, as long as they have done a neat job on the outside. Because I know regardless of whats written in the books and what the so called experts say, that it wont make a spot of difference. As usual I have differences of opinion with mgilla Good bricklaying among other things requires full bed of mortar and perpends to be full. I happen to know that builders are paid well (really well) to do a good job and there is no excuse for sloppy workmanship and for not fixing it. I also know that in business you should always try to do your best and improve or otherwise you will regress. To say "oh well near enough is good enough" is in my view a sign of defeatism and regression and you should get out and try something else. I think it is the beginning of the loss of respect for the customer and for yourself. I am thankful though we don't have (god forbid) mgilla airways or doctor's clinics. I don't think it is too much to ask that customer not only gets a good job but also has the comfort of knowing it is well done. Just my two bob. Yeah because planes are falling out of sky everyday because they didn't fill the perps on brick work. As usual your driving a wedge between the owner and a builder over something you know is trivial just so you can say you need to get in an independent inspector, and by the way here is my card. Re: perpends and mortar on the inside face 19Jun 02, 2015 7:36 pm I already have an independent inspector mgilla. The problem is that when he inspects the build again, the sisalation will be back on the wall and he won't be able to see the inside quality of the brickwork. I'm just trying to understand what is the requirement for BCA/AS/NCC etc and whether my builder has complied with those regulations. Like every one else on this forum I'm building a house and am spending a very large amount of money doing it. I just want to make sure that I'm getting a quality job for my money that's in line with what the regulations require and am not being fobbed off by my builder that their poor quality is an acceptable job. Re: perpends and mortar on the inside face 20Jun 02, 2015 7:42 pm Have you sent some photos to your inspector? Our inspector was happy for me to do so. 0 0 Recently I moved to a 30 year old house and found within few months there are small brown nests in the brick mortar and few small round holes in few places of brick… 0 35654 That could be a piece of timber that was mistakenly attached to the formwork.
