Looking at your pictures I can see there is rust and given your location the right thing to do is either send it off to be hot dipped or a new hot dipped beam.

Re: How does our builder fix this issue? 25Jul 12, 2016 11:38 pm gcambo Well the beam was taken down and has been sent off to be sandblasted and hot dipped Gal. So after weeks of nothing happening we are two steps forward one step back. Great outcome for you and it is as it should be. I come from a background of doing government contracts with architects in charge. If we made a mistake we got a defect notice to pull it up and do it again. there was no argument and nowhere to go but to do it. Domestic builders try and do get away with a blue murder because there is insufficient vigilance in compliance. Instead of wasting everyone's time your builder should have done what he is doing now weeks ago. Cheers for you.
