Browse Forums Building Standards; Getting It Right! 1 Jan 12, 2016 7:55 pm Hi guys, My slab went down today but I've just noticed that the prelay from the kitchen island to the kitchen/theatre wall appears to be out by a good 1.5 metres. I hope I'm wrong but shouldn't they both be further to the right?? It looks like the island plumbing is setup on the theatre wall and the other end is coming up in the middle of the theatre...

Also I'm not an expert but I don't know what the left hand pipe is for, I would of thought they chase the wall for power to the stove and the other pipe work is for your island bench. Re: Is this Pre-lay out? 4Jan 13, 2016 5:15 pm The other pipes are to run the water and elec from the roof, down the wall and then through the sleeves to the island. Just confirmed with the plumber it is out by 1.5m He now has to jackhammer out two 250mm wide channels, move the pipes and then fill with concrete again My build with FHBD viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78344 Re: Is this Pre-lay out? 6Sep 09, 2017 11:09 am Hello Decka, its sad what happened with prelay plumbing... I am going through the same issue , if you don't mind can you please share your feedback on what they have done to rectify it and do you have any issue with leakage or cracks in the slab?? I have been told by the builder that they will cut the slab and connect the current points to new and correct location for kitchen sink and service pipes . They will also provide me with engineers detailed report on the work with termite treatment .. Is it good enough for us to cover ourself if something happens with this work e.g leakage or cracks ... I hope I don't have to go that far .. We are little worried about it. If you have any pictures would be really appreciated.

If you have any pictures would be really appreciated. Decka Engineers don't provide detailed reports on the works regarding termite treatment? That won't cover you when the slab and tiles on top start cracking across the F/M/K area Did you take photos of the reinforcement mesh by chance? as poorly place mesh just exacerbates the problem It should have been checked before the pour..too late now Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Is this Pre-lay out? 10Sep 11, 2017 10:35 am Thanks for the reply , you mean when the repoure the mash I should make sure they do it proprly and take pictures of it .

Re: Is this Pre-lay out? 11Sep 11, 2017 8:38 pm akash19p No, I meant did you take photos of the trenches & reinforcement mesh before the concrete was poured? Soil type?, Dimensions, How close is it a internal longitudinal stiffeners? etc All these factor will influence potential cracking...

Re: Is this Pre-lay out? 13Feb 04, 2018 4:22 pm To be honest that slab doesn't look right to that drawing, because part of that sand should be a hallway to your front door beside bedroom 1 and the garage. The plumbing looks right if you take into account where the bath and toilet plumbing is, the slab doesn't look right from that pic.
